Legionnaire
Often when I look at pictures (old and new) or video clips I see Legionnaires, NCO's and officers not having their hand formed for a proper salute.
Most of the time they keep their thumb crooked like a fish hook.
In my time they would nearly rip your thumb off for incorrect form.
It should be like in the picture, the thumb flat along the other fingers.
(just a little peeve of mine).

PS. The middle finger should touch the button of the kepi strap.
