The story of a young man from Kendari, Southeast Sulawesi, who passes to become an American soldier, starting from being fun and getting first place




A young man from Kendari, Southeast Sulawesi (Southeast Sulawesi) named Benaia Manasseh Lintjewas managed to escape becoming a US soldier. 

The story of a young man from Kendari, Southeast Sulawesi, who escaped to become an American soldier is viral on social media TikTok and Instagram. 

In a video, you can see the cheers of the Benaia family as the line of US soldiers walks neatly. 

Reporting from the Instagram account @terangmedia, the voices of the Benaia family could be heard expressing their pride that Kendari's son was in the front row of the American army. 

"Children of Kendari hee.. You see hee.. Front row of American soldiers. Proud of Kendari children. The only child of Kendari who became an American soldier," said @bheny.kendari or Beni, Benaia's brother-in-law in the video. 

Starting from a whim
Benaia's brother-in-law, Samuel Benihin Pangaibali said, Benaia managed to beat a series of selection tests for the United States army, even though it started as a fad. 

Benaia has lived in the United States for quite a long time, but did not have proper preparation to take the army selection test. 


He even ranked first and the overall value he collected through a number of tests. 

"He got the highest score in his batch of 97 out of 100 points," Beni said via Instagram direct message, quoted from TribunnewsSultra.com, Wednesday (22/3/2023). 

The younger brother-in-law graduated from US Army Class 2023 in Fort Jackson, South Carolina, United States. 

According to Wikipedia, Fort Jackson is a United States Army installation, where TRADOC operates for Basic Combat Training (BCT), and is located within the city of Columbia, South Carolina. 

The installation is named after Andrew Jackson, a United States Army general and seventh president of the United States (1829–1837) who was born in the border region of North and South Carolina. 

Beni said that his younger brother would be placed on duty at Fort Lee, in Prince George County, Virginia, United States of America. 


It is a United States Army outpost and the headquarters of the United States Army Joint Arms Support Command/Continuity Center, US Army Quartermaster School, US Army Ordnance School, US Armed Forces School. 

That way, Benaia will certainly move citizenship to the United States. He is said to earn a large salary as a servant of the state in the US. 

Benaia is now joining the US ARMY or the United States Army.

The figure of Benaia is a native of the area who was born at the Kendari Korem Hospital, July 26 2001. 

As a child, Benaia lived in Lorong Mekar, Kendari City, Southeast Sulawesi. 

He attended Kindergarten Adhyaksa XII Kendari. After 11 years living in Kendari City, Benaia and her family decided to move to America. 

Meanwhile, Benaia's parents used to provide religious services in the villages. Like Tinanggea, South Konawe Regency. 

Family support for Benaia is very big to achieve her dream. 

He also expressed pride in the achievement of his younger brother who was able to compete with foreigners. 


"Regarding any support, people say we are proud, with Ben he is ranked 1st in his class. He took a test and was lucky," he explained.
