– Looking forward to the continuation – VG

“She said yes! Thank you Linn-Therece Johansen Kristoffersen – I look forward to the continuation “, writes Chief of Defense Eirik Kristoffersen on The Facebook page its Sunday morning.

He and Linn-Therece Johansen got married in a private ceremony in Horten on Saturday with venerable Karljohansvern as surroundings.

Karljohansvern was established in 1818, and was an important naval station for the Armed Forces until it gradually became a civilian shipyard with private actors.

It still stands as a strong symbol of the nation and the history of the military.

– I was often in Horten and trained at the time in the Armed Forces Special Command. And Linn-Therece has lived here for a few years as a child when her father worked at Karljohansvern, Kristoffersen says to VG via the Armed Forces’ press guard.

– So when we now get married, the beautiful surroundings at Karljohansvern were an obvious choice, he continues.

In May 2020, Eirik Kristoffersen joined appointed Chief of Defense.

The former general has extensive experience from the Armed Forces’ special command, and has served in Afghanistan for several periods.

He has also received the War Cross with Sword, which is the highest ranked military award.

In June this year, he participated in the Pride parade as first chief of defense ever.

Linn-Therece Johansen is a lieutenant colonel in the Air Force, and has previously worked in the communications unit.

This is Kristoffersen’s third marriage. He has four children with his two ex-wives. Johansen is ten years younger and has no children before.

The defense couple has previously talked openly about their relationship with NRK.

– He makes me happy. There is so much about Eirik that I do not want to live without. That’s the way he loves me, she said at the time.
