Young Moeldoko had to fight hard for school and pursue his dreams. The relentless hard work has paid off. His career as a TNI soldier continued to rise to the top position as TNI Commander (2013-2015). After his retirement from the TNI, Moeldoko was entrusted with being the Presidential Chief of Staff (KSP) for the Working Cabinet of President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) and Vice President Jusuf Kalla. And he was re-appointed as Chief of Presidential Staff in the Advanced Indonesia Cabinet of President Joko Widodo and Vice President Ma'ruf Amin until now.
