chrisharley9 Posted 17 November , 2005 Share Posted 17 November , 2005 On looking for an officer's MIC I couldn't find it. Am I right in thinking if an officer did not claim his medals he would not have an MIC? All The Best Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryBettsMCDCM Posted 17 November , 2005 Share Posted 17 November , 2005 On looking for an officer's MIC I couldn't find it. Am I right in thinking if an officer did not claim his medals he would not have an MIC? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Probably! What is his name? perhaps he is listed using initials rather than christian names,or his surname is mispelt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
