NCO’s have to lead upward as well as down most of the time it seems. I have a fairly good opinion of the French. They were always quite professional, and didn’t shy away from a fight. Nice post.

In reply to chrishernandezauthor. Did not he know that the ACU was even worse ?, know since I was a kid I always Woodland uniform taste, it is a pity that no longer use because it really gave a good style. And the US military is the only one using ACU?

In reply to Danny. The French have a camouflage pattern very similar to US Woodland. We stopped using Woodland around 2006/2007 and replaced it with ACU, which is the worst camo pattern in the world. Sometimes in Afghanistan I wore a French uniform with American flags, because it was better camo.

Chris impressive history, Lt. sure will never forget this experience has had and hopefully be well. By the way I noticed that the French army uniforms used Woodlands, yet the US military’s use or only for training?

‘That applies to all of us in the military …” Experience brings perspective, great article but I would apply the idea universally.
