The Indonesian Military (TNI) is inviting native Papuan high school graduates to enlist as cadets in the military.
Enrollment officer Navy Col. Yuddy Subiantoro said that 29 positions in the new intake had been earmarked this year for Papuan high school graduates for selection and training as cadets for the Army, Navy and Air Force.
“Native Papuans that pass the selection process will be trained for four years according to the military branch they’re assigned to,” Yuddy said on Tuesday as quoted by Antara news agency.
Registration will be opened to candidates in Biak and Jayapura in Papua, and Sorong in West Papua.
From the 29 cadets, 20 would be trained in the Army, four in the Air Force and five in the Navy, he added.
