EDIT: He is also wearing the wrong French Fourragère.

That Fourragere our hero is wearing is an ROTC doohickey for something or other.

It's not ROTC, he is wearing the French Fourragère awarded to members who actually fought in WW1 in France. He should be wearing just the part under his arm, not over his shoulder. Actually he shouldn't be wearing it at all. Though he looks fairly old, I doubt the "CSM" is over 118 year of age as it was awarded for actions in 1918......and now, a mad dash for cover.

I believe that is an airborne tab...no matter, he lives in Scotland and I believe they are after him for pretending to be some kind of clan chief...goes with the charactor..pretending...

No cover needed. I've only seen that set up on Cadets...I wore one when assigned to the 509th in Italy and it did not (as you stated) have the over the arm deal. Good info.
