    Hi fellows,

     

    This "Major' has indeed seen foreign service (known as OPEX for OPerations EXterieures in French military jargon) !.

    It should possibly be mentionned that the rank of "Major" was relatively recently  introduced to be given to very senior Non Commissionned Officers for whom it is the highest available. The true aristocracy in the Legion.

    The men in the back of the picture  are Foreign Legion vétérans. They wear the traditionnal blue blazer, with white shirt, grey slacks green tie and green beret. Full size awards are always worn, never the reduced size..

    All the best

    Veteran

    Hi,

    today on facebook I got a suggestion list of possible new friends (usually friends of people in my friend list) and saw an ACH der 2. REP with 5 bars on his MOM, too.

    He also wears the LH, MM, GdC TOE bronze star - CVM two golden and one bronze star, CC, MOM 5 bars - DefNat gold, MedCommemo two bars, MedReconn two bars.

    The fourth line beginns wir two Nato medals and then the picture is cut.
