I suspect on finishing training he was a fut fut caporal,it's a fast track system for legionnaires who usually come top of their training section and stay behind at castelnaudery and usually within day 3years become a sergeant not always though.I was put on this fast track system,then I realised that as a sergeant told me you can end up doing your whole 5years there,I asked to be posted to another regiment but was told no,do I deserted as well,I'd already been in British army before I'd been a corporal

Hello. I was in 13dble djbouti, horn of Africa. Met a guy private Murphy ( legion identity) he had been in about a year. Finished my two year tour ,landed back in France for our detachment to be met by Murphy,Only now he was sergeant Murphy . Must have had little over three years in. Good shot though,beat me in a company shoot out with my own rifle he borrowed. Must have had an identical eye

Perhaps they picked up on the fact he was university material?
