SUNGGUH MULIA ...!! Demi Wujudkan Mimpi Sang Ibu, Beginilah Jatuh Bangun Jenderal Gatot Masuk Kopassus

Semasa hidupnya, sang Ibunda meminta Jenderal TNI Gatot Nurmantyo menjadi anggota Komando Pasukan Khusus (Kopassus). Ibunya berpesan, "Jika kamu menjadi tentara, kamu harus menjadi anggota RPKAD.

Gatot mengatakan sang ibu terobsesi untuk menjadikannya sebagai anggota Resimen Para Komando Angkatan Darat (RPKAD) karena rumah orangtua ibunya yang berdekatan dengan markas RPKAD di Cilacap.

Usai menyelesaikan pendidikan militernya di Akademi Angkatan Bersenjata Republik Indonesia (Akabri) pada 1982, Gatot berusaha mewujudkan keinginan ibunya untuk masuk menjadi anggota Kopassus nama baru RPKAD.

Ternyata usaha Gatot mengalami kegagalan, namun Gatot mencoba kembali. Pada kesempatan berikutnya, setelah berpangkat Kapten, Gatot kembali mendaftarkan dirinya masuk Kopassus, dan kembali mengalami kegagalan.

Setelah menjadi Kepala Staf Angkatan Darat (KSAD) pada 25 Juli 2014 sampai 15 Juli 2015, Jenderal Gatot akhirnya berkesempatan. Tak lama setelah dilantik, Gatot memanggil Danjen Kopassus Mayjen TNI Agus Sutomo dan menyampaikan maksudnya ingin mendaftar pendidikan Kopassus.

"Tidak usah ikut pendidikan Pak, nanti Bapak saya kasih brevet kehormatan saja," kata Agus Sutomo kala itu, dilansir dari Instagram @ind_uniform, Minggu, 28 Agustus 2016.

Namun Gatot bersikukuh akan mendapat baret merah melalui jalur normal dan menolak kehormatan yang akan diberikan Agus Sutomo. Gatot mengikuti semua prosedur normal, mulai dari pendaftaran, ujian hingga penyematan brevet komando dan baret di pantai Cilacap.

Di usianya yang sudah tidak muda lagi yakni 55 tahun, Gatot harus melewati ujian yang keras, di antaranya senam jam 2 pagi, berendal di kolam suci Kopassus di Batujajar, longmarch, hingga berenang selama lebih dari 2 jam dari pantai Cilacap ke pulau Nusakambangan.

Bahkan, Gatot juga menjalani pendidikan Sandi Yudha yang mengharuskannya mengikuti ujian menyusup masuk ke suatu tempat yang terkunci dengan pengawalan ketat dari prajurit Kopassus. Gatot menyusup dengan mulus yang berhasil menyelesaikan ujian tersebut.

"Beliau itu selalu mengikuti keinginan orangtuanya. Dahulu Ibunya yang menginginkan beliau jadi Kopassus, namun tak mendapat kesempatan. Tapi, mimpi beliau tercapailah saat menjadi KSAD. Meski KSAD beliau tak ingin dibedakan saat mengikuti pelatihan Kopassus hingga dilantik," ungkap Kepada Dinas Penerangan Angkatan Udara (Kadispenad) Brigjen TNI Wuryanto dikutip dari Okezone.

Usai menjalankan amanat menjadi Kopassus, kata Wuryanto, Gatot langsung menuju makam sang Ibu untuk berziarah sembari berdoa. "Bagitu jadi prajurit Kopassus, langsung terbang ke pemakaman orangtuanya menyampaikan bahwa amanah itu sudah dilaksanakan. Itu merupakan wujud bakti anak kepada orangtua," tutur Wuryanto.

5 Consequences of Driving without Car Insurance Do you own a car? Great! Does your car also have a valid motor insurance cover on it? Owning a car, while earlier classified as being a luxury, has now moved down to being a comfort. In fact, in metros, a car has almost become a necessity due to long-distance commutes. More and more of us are, therefore, buying a car. But are we also buying the mandatory car insurance policy? Every car which is to ply on Indian roads should have a valid car insurance cover, states the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988. When you buy a new car, the choice of buying an insurance policy is, thankfully, taken out of your hands. The on-road price of the car is inclusive of the insurance premium for your car insurance policy. The problems arise when the policy expires after a year. Car insurance plans are usually issued for one year after which they should be renewed. If you do not renew it, you are driving a car without car insurance. If numbers are any indication, a study by New India Assurance revealed that about 70% of vehicles on Indian roads are without insurance. Is your car one among them? If yes, beware. Here are 5 consequences if you drive your car without having a valid Car Insurance policy: Be prepared to pay heavy fines Earlier, the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 governed the road safety and traffic rules. Recently, the Government passed the Road Transport and Safety Bill 2014 to replace the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988. Among other changes, the Bill penalizes you heavily if you are caught driving without having a valid insurance cover. As per the amendments, you would have to part with a whopping Rs.25, 000 for a light motor vehicles or Rs.75, 000 for other motor vehicles as a fine for driving without insurance. A huge fine, isn’t it? Pay losses for damages caused to third party or property In an accident, if you unintentionally harm any person or surrounding property, you are liable to pay the loss incurred. This is called third party liability. Your car insurance mandatorily covers this third party liability and spares you the loss incurred. In the absence of a valid insurance cover, you would have to bear the losses incurred. If the person dies, your liability would be very high. Read more Is third party car worth buying? Pay losses for own damage While you have to compulsorily pay losses caused to a third party, what about your losses. In an accident even your vehicle suffers damage. The costs of repairs for such damage are borne by your comprehensive car insurance policy. Without insurance, the onus of paying for the repairs is on you. With the high cost associated with the repairs of your car, a financial strain is inevitable. Read more about All you need to know about car insurance Face legal complications Besides the financial loss suffered in an accident which causes damage to a third party and/or self, you would also be entangled in legal complications if your car is found without a valid insurance cover. You would be penalized, get a challan and might even be imprisoned. Loss of No Claim Bonus If your car insurance expires and you do not renew it, besides the penalties and fines, you also lose the No Claim Bonus which you accumulated in your existing policy. Car insurance plans allow a discount in subsequent year’s premiums if there is no claim in any current year. This discount increases every year and saves your premium outgo. If you let your car insurance policy lapse, you lose the accumulated NCB and end up paying a higher premium when the policy is consequently renewed. A car insurance policy is legally mandatory and not having one results in serious consequences (as mentioned above). While a third party liability cover is mandatory, a comprehensive policy is better. The former pays only for the damages caused to any third party but the latter also covers damages incurred by you and your car. The premium for a comprehensive policy is slightly higher because of higher coverage. For instance, the premium payable for a Maruti Ritz car registered in 2012 having a capacity of 1197cc would have a third party premium of Rs.2237 and a comprehensive premium of Rs.4200 (approximately). With a slight increase in the premium you can avail a higher coverage option which covers for your damages too. Since car repairs are expensive, a comprehensive policy makes more sense even if the premiums are a little high. So do not fall a victim to these consequences and buy an insurance policy for your car today.
