JAKARTA - Tears of emotion surround the courtyard of the Merdeka Palace, Jakarta, Wednesday, July 23 shortly after the inauguration ceremony of the TNI-Polri Youth Officer in 2025.
The couple Sujayono and Robianti couldn't hold back their tears when they held their eldest son, Lieutenant Dua (Letda) Moch. Haryo, who was officially appointed as a Navy officer by President Prabowo Subianto.
Letda Haryo is not only the eldest child of a factory labor couple, but also the first child in his family to make achievements as a TNI officer.
This achievement at the same time realized his father's dream of becoming a soldier from a young age, but failed three times when he tried to register.
"My dream is that my son will continue my dream. Now he has become an officer. My hope is that he will remain honest, enthusiastic, never give up, and can rise to the highest rank," said Sujayono proudly quoted from Antara.
For Letda Haryo, the path to the Naval Academy (AAL) is not an easy thing. He failed when he first registered after graduating from high school. But the unquenched fighting spirit brought him back to try, and this time it worked.
He also left his hometown in Bekasi, West Java, to attend education in Surabaya, East Java.
"Since I was a child, I had dreamed of becoming a soldier. I failed once, but tried again, and thank God it was acceptable," said Haryo.
The mother's pride was also conveyed by Robianti. He admitted that he always inserted prayers in every step of his child, although he could not hide his worries as a mother.
"If a mother is worried, but we must be willing to release the child for the sake of the state's duties. The important thing is, Haryo keeps his prayers, remembers parents, and lives his duties with enthusiasm and sincerity," he said.
