AZZAMS
Military Academy

Today all the cadets and cadets are ready in the field. Near them were bags or suitcases containing their uniforms and luggage. After being accepted as carbolic cadets, they will be sent to the Military Academy in Magelang to undergo integration education with cadets Akmil and AAL. They will stay for one year and undergo military education.

The deputy governor of AAU released 150 cadets and cadets who were going to Magelang. For a full year they will be educated in military basics, physical training, holding and firing weapons, survival, and defense strategies. One by one cadets entered the prepared vehicle.

Every cadet who enrolls in the AAU or other forces is required to undergo military service for a full year. After their military education was completed, they returned to their respective academies. This military training aims to change the culture and way of thinking of civilians into the military. Mids and cadets will be forged physically and mentally in this training in order to become TNI soldiers who are tough, unyielding and have a high nationalist spirit.

Magelang was chosen as the site of the military academy, because this location has a strong military background, because it became the location of a parade of Dutch soldiers. The city is also considered important, because here there is Mount Tidar, which is considered as the center point of Java or often referred to as the Javanese land.

After traveling for about an hour and a half, they finally arrived at the military academy. Their arrival coincided with the arrival of cadets from the naval academy and the police academy. Army cadets who are studying here have also gathered in the field. They will all blend in, so as not to happen chauvinism against their respective forces.

All the cadets and cadets gathered and listened to the welcome from the governor of the military academy. After completion, they are welcome to the dormitory that will be occupied during education. The seniors guided their juniors towards the dormitory. The rules here are no different from the rules in their respective academies.

Azzam, Eko, Zakariya and Seno placed one barrack with other cadets. In this barracks there are 12 mattresses and cabinets arranged side by side and face. In addition to them, there are also cadets from Akmil, AAL and Akpol. They quickly put their clothes and shoes in the closet. Later there will be coaches who check the neatness of their cabinets.

Azzam's bed faced Eko, on his right was Zakariya, while on his left was a cadet from Akmil. While tidying up his luggage, they got acquainted while saying where they came from. The cadet Akmil who was on the left side of Azzam was named Yakob and was from Ambon.

“You can eat fast?” tanya Yakob with a special accent Ambon.

“Still effort,” replied Eko with a laugh.

“Actually the pity is the taruni. Yesterday there was a crying taruni because it could not finish its food. We all got to be legal.”

“Same. We also have to have a strategy. Taruni is usually difficult to digest food. How if it is fitting to eat, there must be taruni on our table, so we can help him eat food,” suggested Azzam.

“Good capsule. I'm ready part spend food, hahaha.” exclaimed Yakob.

The body of the Yakob is not too high, 168 cm. But his body is quite contained and quite sturdy as well. according to his confession, this is his third experiment applying to Akmil. Two years earlier, he had not escaped pantukhir. Only this year he managed to escape and can bear the status as a cadet Akmil.

“For two years, I continued to train physically. I learned how soldiers live, including physical exercise and eating. This year I was accepted as a cadet. What about you guys? Is this your first try?”

Azzam, Zakariya, Eko and Seno nodded simultaneously. This year was their first experiment and was instantly accepted as cadets. Almost all cadets in this barracks are like carbolic cadets, the first to try to follow the selection. But Yakob is not alone, there are also cadets from AL who just entered in their second year.

While talking, there was a bell. Everyone immediately went out and lined up in the field. They should have started this activity at Akmil. All the cadets and cadets lined up neatly in the field.

🌻🌻🌻

Being in Akmil, Azzam began to live out his days as a cadet. All the activities he did had been arranged from starting to wake up, to want to sleep again.the cadets had been awakened at four o'clock. For those who are Muslims, immediately prepare to perform the shabuh prayer. For non-Muslims, prepare for morning exercise.

After performing the prayer, all the cadets gathered in the field. They are getting ready for morning exercise. A coach came and gave a signal to cadets and cadets to prepare to run around Akmil. Some seniors followed and watched over them. All the cadets ran while singing songs that evoked patriotism.

“Welcome young hero. Long time we miss you. Divorced eyes for years. Now we can meet.”

Before leaving for Sleman, Azzam had been looking for information about everything related to the TNI world. Including the songs they sang while running. Not infrequently he sang it in a loud voice, until a protest from Zar was heard. But it turns out that his training is useful for now.

After running, exercise is continued by doing other physical activities. The cadets and cadets were placed separately. There is a coach who guides them to physical exercise. The cadets were asked to do push-ups 30 times, followed by sit-ups 30 times as well. Eko seems to have trouble completing his push-ups. Many times the coach yelled at him and asked him to repeat.

After the sport, they are welcome to return to the dormitory for a short break and clean up. Because the capacity of the bathroom is not in accordance with the number of cadets, they are required to shower at lightning speed. Their time to take a shower is no more than three minutes, as it should alternate with other cadets.

Turns them into the bathroom. Queue in the bathroom, it's like a line of groceries. After the bath, they immediately got dressed and prepared for the morning apple. Seno was still wearing her belt, when the sound of bells sounded. The man hurriedly finished his activities. Azzam helped Seno tidy up his clothes, then rushed towards the field.

🌻🌻🌻

Training in this military academy does feel heavy for cadets and cadets. Their physiques were cornered all the way to the finishing point. Their sleep time is limited. After the evening apples, they are welcome back to the barracks. Before going to bed, many of them take advantage of the time by washing clothes, ironing or washing shoes. Every second is put to good use for them.

Today they will be back to training. Using a striped outfit, they headed for the training ground. For starters, they were asked to run with a load of twenty kilos on his back. In their hands are weapons. A coach gives a warning. They immediately ran to follow the coach's direction.

After that, the coach asked the cadets to do creeping exercises. On their backs were backpacks, heads wearing helmets and hands holding weapons. This creeping exercise is done in the open. Then it continued to creep under the barbed wire.

Azzam began to creep with a weapon in his hand. His body continued to move past the barbed wire which was only a few inches high. On the right side, left and behind the other cadets followed. Azzam moved his legs and elbows carefully, not to get his head or backpack stuck in the barbed wire.

Eko is in the back row. The young man began to creep past the barbed wire. At first everything was good. When he was about to reach the end, he suddenly couldn't move. His head turned, it turned out that the tip of his backpack was hit by barbed wire. Eko moved his body, trying to break away from the wire.

“Roll.. iki roll,” said Eko in a whispering voice. Hopefully Zechariah, who is in front of him, can hear it.

“Zak.. tulung.. iki. iki..” said Eko again. Hearing his name being called, Zacharias turned his head.

“What?”

“Iki.. roll. iki..”.

“What's wrong? Iki Sule's son?”

“Haaiissshh's.. Iki you know, roll ransele kecantol.”

Zakaria looked at the wire, sure enough, her friend's backpack was stuck in barbed wire. But he himself was confused on how to help her, while the coach was already beside her.

“Taruna!!”

“Ready!”

“Why are you so selfish? You don't see any of your friends left behind?!” the coach's hand pointed at Eko who was still not out of the barbed wire.

“You should see right, left, front, back. Make sure none of your friends are left behind! If this is on the battlefield, your friend has been shot dead by the enemy!”

The coach pointed to Azzam and Zakaria to help Eko. Rushing them closer, then releasing the tip of the backpack associated with barbed wire. They immediately returned to the line.

“Jalan squat up to the post!!”

The incident of snagging Eko backpack caused all cadets to be punished. They walk to the post. In a moment adzan dzuhur will reverberate. It was time for prayers and lunch. With the weapons behind their heads, all the cadets began to walk squatting towards their posts.

🌻🌻🌻

After performing the dzuhur prayer service, all cadets were lined up. In their hands there are bells and also glasses. One by one they approached the coach to get food rations.

Azzam's ompreng added rice, sauteed squash, soy sauce seasoning eggs, crackers and bananas. After the glass he was carrying filled with water, the young man immediately headed to the line. He put the ompreng in front of him, and then he sat cross-legged. Waiting for the other cadets to finish taking the food.

Carrying the ompreng that was filled with food, Seno walked towards the line. Next to his feet stepped on the ground a little legged, making the bells in his hands move. The egg on top fell to the ground and rolled up to the foot of one of the trainers. Seno hurriedly returned to his ranks, before the coach saw him.

The trainer was unaware of Seno's egg. He kept an eye on the cadets who were finishing his meal. After three minutes, I heard a cue to stop eating. When he was about to put his empty toothpaste, his eyes saw the egg that was near his shoes. He took the slack and then walked to the front of the line. Raising the egg in his hand, the coach shouted.

“Whose eggs, this?!”
