Summary

During my NYSC service year, I served at the 301 Artillery Regiment (General Support), Army Barracks, Gombe, where I contributed to the Nigerian Army recruitment screening exercises for the 91st Regular Recruits Intake (RRI). As part of the screening officials, I assisted with applicants’ documentation and verification, registration, record-keeping, coordination, and other administrative responsibilities assigned during the exercise. The experience strengthened my skills in discipline, teamwork, attention to detail, communication, and public service while providing practical exposure to a structured military recruitment process.
