Malud has a special mission – to popularize the service. He went through a special program that the French Parliament describes as:

“A system that allows civilians (often recognized in their fields) to make voluntary contributions to the promotion of the values ​​and missions of a military institution without being members of the military.”

“While crossing the Amazon in my homeland, I had the opportunity to be initiated during the 3rd REI CEFE Authorities course at the Equatorial Forest Training Center. Thank you for this moment of unity and for these values ​​of team spirit in the face of adversity. These are the most important values ​​in high-level sports,” Maluda wrote on Instagram.

According to the results of the meeting, Florent received the rank of officer.
