- My time in the French Foreign Legion, an experience I will never forget along with brothers I will equally never forget. I hope this video might motivate some strong minded men willing to challenge themselves to step out of their comfort zones and take a risk! ‘If you risk nothing you gain nothing’ good luck ☘️💪🤙
This bloke is the definition of a real man.
Lived the life in which most men dream about, good on you legend thanks for your service!
Much respect and love from Germany to all our French brothers! No more brother wars🇩🇪🤝🇨🇵

Magnifique! Excelente
Bin auch im 2 REP grüße 👍

Amen brother 💪
In college I met this South Korean Army major who was finishing his program there. I asked him if he knew about the Foreign Legion, and his eyes widened, and said yes. He had attended Airborne School at Ft Benning and his roommate was an officer in the Legion. Told me to join while I still had the chance. I didn't. I spent a few years in the U.S Army and experienced some pretty amazing things. Everything worked out in my civilian life afterwards as well. Props to those who did join the Legion.
I'm working in the French foreign legion 2REI 5 years old now I live in los Angeles. I'm Chinese.

Our company XO in the US Marines decided to leave the Corps and go to the Legion. We all envied him. Years later during desert storm we ran into some Legionaires and and one was from Chicago. Small world indeed.
I am Italian and I remember in 2012 I showed up at the gates of Aubagne. I was discarded. How bad it was. I think I will never COME BACK because now I have another life BUT I swear it will be my biggest regret not being part of the French foreign legion.

What a life ! Be proud. Vive la France, vive l'Ireland !
Ireland and France have been fighting for centuries together! Helped us out big time with the Brits and their German mercenaries let loose on us in 1798

@@BBob1 Ask your mum she probably remembers it...
The european people must stand together. Now more then ever.
Greetings to the famous Ireland from Germany. 🇩🇪🤝🇨🇮
Billy boy I think you’ll find a fair few Irish we’re helping out the Brits. All about money in those days ,just look at the founding fathers . That’s assuming that you actually had relatives there then.
Irish people fought in nearly every army in Europe there were a Irish regiment in Poland even
Love and respect from Serbia Irish brother, I dream to one day join the FFL🇷🇸❤️🇮🇪

@@fatihtutku4021 Afrika'da 5000 euro falan diyorlardı. Türkiye'de asker olmak daha tehlikeli Afrika da ışid tarzi militanlar vs var ama açık arazide görev yapmak daha iyi bizim buranın daglarina gore. Lejyon olunca evlilik vs olmuyor yani sivil hayatın yok gittiğin ulkedesin hep yıllık izin varmış 1 ay falan sanırım. Abd ye bu şekilde git orada fırsatlar ülkesi çalışma izni alırsan polislige basvurabiliyorsun. Bazı şehirlerde hatta 38 yaşına kadar polis olma şansı var askerlik ise 35 veya 36 olması lazım birliğe göre değişiyor. Evinden işine gidip gelirsin en azından insan gibi yaşarsın. Lejyona gidenler ya maceraci yada kendi ülkesinde umudunu kesenler vs yüzlerce videolarını izledim. Afrika da bile kendi ortamları güzel bizim askeriyelerden daha rahat ortamları var ama işte dediğim gibi ne olur ne olmaz hayati tehliken var. Ben mesela Fransa da yaşamak istemezdim Abd ye kiyaslarsak. Abd de secilmiyorsun seçiyorsun adeta ne yapmak istedigini. Çalışana para var emek verene torpil olmadan istediğin yere girmek var vs.

Abd ye gitmeyi araştır orada işçi veya tekniker olsan lejyondan fazla maaş kazanırsın birde yasin daha genç çok fırsatlar çıkacak önüne. Benim yaş 30 hedefim chicago hem ucuz yaşam hem iltica edince orada kabul etme İranı yüksek ve çifte vatandaş olacagim inşallah
Thank you for this inspiring video and thank you for protecting France during 8 years.
Thank you for serving my country! Respect to you and your brothers. Love your country.
Great example of the true adventure that is the Legion. Vive La Legion ! Vive La REP !
As a Serb myself I totally figured you to be Serbian too, it is really uncanny how much you look like my uncle that I would really question either my uncle's roots or your Irish roots, lol.
Much respect man, glad to see that you befriended a Serb in the Legion as we Serbs have huge respect for Irish people and admire all the struggles you've endured throughout your tough history and I want to acknowledge the fact that you guys are a tough bunch with massive guts, much respect from Serbia.
Nice to see that you had Serbian brother in arms! Greetings from the Belgrade !!LPN!
The legion has the wonderful ethos of treating absolutely everyone the same regardless of where they come form. If you meet the physical, mental and criminal (as in no blood crime, no dealing) standard, you will be given a chance. Wherever you are from, whatever your religion, whatever your skin colour. The Legion shows how we are all humans and deserve equal treatment.
Except Muslims

Have massive respect for FFL, watch and read anything I can, can see you served with pride, only way to do it!
Had a GrandUncle who served in Algeria. Great place to get away from it all, clear out your "demons," & get well grounded again. True for all armed forces to some degree.
This is one of the most cool videos on CZcams! Thank you for your service!
YOU Rock!! Thank you for being best men. God Bless you forever in each of your footsteps. Amen.
From Spain, my respect to my francais partners! ever for the soldier that defends his country!
Great video Irish ... Awesome adventure's without any BS .. Loved it !!
Incredible dedication, resilience and general all round hard, tough bloke. Respect in buckets
Best style, music and attitude! A 8 minute holiday video. Much respect for a fresh take on mil videos.
Many thanks for this video and your service in the French Foreign Legion. All the best for you anywhere you are.

But only the Legion means it. You f*** up they have your back do the same thing in the French army and they will throw your to the wolves.
@@joebenson528 only thing I can remember the French Military do is surrender…
Actually, for not being able to keep the lid on in Europe, even with Brits there, in TWO WORLD WARS where we lost 500,000 men (about 400,000 if you subtract Pacific losses in WWII).
@@biodidu25 France certainly lost the most men, couldn't get the Germans out of France for four years, and no way victory happens without 1.1 mil U.S. soldiers to blunt German spring, 1918 offensive (reinforced by 500,000 men released from Russian front).
Comradeship and Brotherhood that cannot be found in any other profession. Good fighting. Much respect from Germany
Respect from a U.S Marine infantry men 🤙🏽🏴☠️ I always wanted to be a legionnaire but Im 24 and have a 8 month daughter and proud to be a Marine riflemen 🏴☠️🩸🤙🏽 my advice if you want to join the legion do it now while your free 🖤 live that life and never be afraid to chase your dreams 🖤 god bless and yes I’m talking to you that’s reading this go for it ❗️
I too regret not enlisting at a younger age. I’m looking into Army Nat Guard if there’s a chance.

Get some what?
Are they comparable to german Fernspäher?

More like a Fallschirmjägerspezialzug but to my understanding not on the same level with the shooting training since they do different courses and the SpezZug is now EGB qualified while i`m not sure if the whole SpezZug is freefall qualified.
i am going to be one of them and yes nothing else matters p

I run my floor buffer now and clear 200k
Same with the US Army.
@@boburwell9921
Once I got the hang of Floor Buffer, found it "therapeutic relaxing."
Yeah in the us army you do dumb shit 99% of the time and 1% cool shit.
I'm French and I think the foreign legion is a great institution. Take people from all over the world who seek adventure, combat, suffering, a new life for some, another chance, the pride of being part of an elite unit, the myth .. and the money ;) that's so cool. France has so much war to fight, it would be great if instead of 10,000 people in the legion, we are like 50,000 maybe. But unfortunately .... We have no money ... the French state is bankrupt. Apparently they take 1 out of 10 candidates. It's sad but it s life ... Vive la légion étrangère ;)
Thanks for the work you have done for the country and your courage!!bravo à toi légionnaire!a french citizen
man this video was fantastic. I am 51 yo never served in military because I had a problem in my late teens and was not able to join the US military. I truly wish I would have known about the FFL when I was 18 and just graduated from school back in '88.
