Viral Army motorcyclist identified as an NCO honor graduate

The soldier featured in viral TikTok videos while riding her motorcycle around Hawaii is a decorated Staff Sergeant who also happens to be a native of the Hawaiian Islands.

Staff Sgt. Chelsea Samatra is currently stationed in Hawaii with the 25th Infantry Division on the island of O’ahu but graduated high school on Kuai.

While in high school, Samatra was on her school’s air rifle team and even competed in the State Championships in 2015.

After graduating, she joined the Army in 2017 as a financial management technician (MOS 36B).

In 2019, Samatra was with the 18th FMSC and deployed to Camp Arifjan, Kuwait in the summer of 2019 to conduct theater-level financial operations.

During her deployment, she achieved the rank of Specialist and was awarded an Army Commendation Medal for performance.

Her unit returned to Fort Knox, Ky. sometime in late February of 2020.

In November of 2021, then Sgt. Samatra graduated from Fort Jackson NCO Academy and was recognized as an honor graduate.

Last year, she appeared on TikTok and quickly racked up followers after one of posts of her in a dress in the back of a car went viral.

“Wait, you’re in the Army?” the post is captioned. It now has over 1 million views.

But many of her videos -with the most views- feature her riding her motorcycle around Hawaii and at least one shows her embracing another woman, possibly a wife or girlfriend.

She now has over 74k followers and over 500k likes on her account.
