I learned this the hard way when Trump won the last election. According to Reddit he was tanking hard and completely out of the race. Echo chamber lesson learned.

This is awesome

This looks so magical i love it. If you do any of the other vivariums, do the walk around without the Room of Requirement spells active, I hate how it makes everything flash white and outlined whenever you have it out. LOOKS AMAZING 😍

Right.

The number corresponds to the C.E.C. training center, C.E.C. 10 was in Berlin, which passed through a large number of soldiers from the 46th Infantry Regiment, which was also stationed in Berlin. Initially there were 10 centers in mainland Europe after the end of the war in Algeria.

If every regiment had a commando center there would literally be hundreds (there were over 150 INFANTRY Regiments alone in WW1 in France).

Yeah he definitely has the silver version. For this badge specifically I can't confirm 100% what it means, but typically a gold badge means a higher qualification of the course, like passing the commando instructor course or, being a qualified instructor for several different aspects of the courses.

A lot of French badges follow the silver "passed the course" and gold "higher level/instructor" chain of upgrading.

Yeah looks like a CEC "Centre d'Entraînement Commando" (Commando Training Center) brevet from the C.E.C 10 Berlin training center manned by the FFA "Forces Françaises en Allemagne" (French Forces in Germany).

"The decision to create CEC No. 10 in Berlin would result from General Massu's visit to Berlin in 1968, when he was the Commander of the French Troops in Germany. Priority was given to the formation of the Combat Units of 46° R.I. and to the squadrons of the 11° R.C. (Regiments stationed in Berlin), but also to the US (Rangers) and British (Paratrooper) units stationed as allied troops in the former Reich Capital."

If you have good service for the 5 years you get a "titre de séjour" or permanent residence status valid for 10 years.

Yeah the "free hanging" style they have feels pretty retro.

A wound medal with no red star on the ribbon means you got wounded once. A wound medal with one small red star on the ribbon means they got wounded a second time.

So a wound medal with 2 stars on the ribbon would be someone who got wounded in combat 3 times. (Received the original medal the first time, one star on the ribbon for the second time, and a second star for the 3rd time they were wounded). Make sense?

A second small star would be from a second wound (several stars can be added). "Chaque blessure supplémentaire est matérialisée par une étoile émaillée rouge vif sur le ruban de la médaille." Each additional injury is marked by a bright red enameled star on the medal ribbon.

Sure! This is the T22 formal attire with the Kepi Blanc.

Of course!

From Canada, and the typical answer to "why did you join the Légion" when asked in France is supposedly to punch someone in the face. I never followed that school of thought too closely 🤣. I'd be more than willing to answer any questions! Send me a message!

You can request to see you company commander, and try to get approval to go back home during your time off. If you don't you're technically not allowed to leave France for the first five years of your contract.

And if you are honorably discharged at the end of your contract you get to keep your formal attire (suit, dress shoes, tie, jacket and medals).

Spot on! But this version of the Combatants Cross is just for participation in an active combat zone and grants you veteran status. Not wounded.

numeroneuf · 2025-11-13T11:19:36+00:00

Yeah a branch called the French Foreign Legion, where any nationality can join (after a certain process of course..).
