Denies Entering The Paid Army, Kadispenad Affirms Selection Of Free Akmil Cadets
JAKARTA - Circulating information through the site I'm smart.id entitled 'How Much Is The Acmil Entry Cost? Let's Know The Latest Costs In 2024/2025!'
Responding to this, the Head of the Army Information Service (Kadispenad) Brigadier General Kristomei Sianturi, emphasized that the information was untrue and misleading, and would take legal steps in accordance with the ITE Law.
The selection process for the Military Academy Cadets (Catar Akmil) is not at all charged (Gratis). Likewise, after passing to become the Military Academy Cadets, all education costs are fully borne by the state. Apart from being free, the selection process was carried out fairly and transparently.
"It's not true, if someone mentions entering the AKMIL cadets there is a fee. For those who know there is a fee, please report it to us." said Kristomei.
Kadispenad added that the Indonesian Army upholds the principles of transparency and accountability in every process of accepting its soldiers.
Bahkan, pernyataan tentang tidak adanya pungutan biaya pendaftaran maupun pendidikan, dan biaya 100 persen ditanggung oleh negara, tercantum dengan jelas pada situs resmi TNI maupun sosialisasi penerimaan Taruna dalam link berikut https://rekrutmen-tni.mil.id
The Indonesian Army is also committed to ensuring that every candidate who meets the requirements has the same opportunity to join the TNI without having to pay at all.

For this reason, Kristomei invites the public to get used to referring to official sources of information, and be careful of information that cannot be justified.
"Transparency and accountability are the main values that we hold in the selection and education process of the Akmil cadets. We urge the public not to be trapped by hoax news and misleading information. People who spread false information can be subject to positive laws." he said.
