aubagne98 Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Hi,he doesn´t look very old for a Major.And he doesn´t wear the MM, which is, as I know, given for 25 years service.Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Boonzaier Posted October 27, 2015 Author Share Posted October 27, 2015 Hi, he is probably months away from the MM, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veteran Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 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 bestVeteran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Boonzaier Posted October 27, 2015 Author Share Posted October 27, 2015 I am guessng he joined in 1990, just made it in time for operation Daguet, and at Camerone this year was still just months short of his 25 years.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aubagne98 Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 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. Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
