You really need to bring your story and all this wisdom to us in a book, diary of a legionaire, please give it some serious thought bro. Utter respect.
Definitely, his book would be great, from Seal to Legionaire, would sell very well i would imagine.
In the works brotha👌🏼
Looking forward to reading it.
No we don’t. OPSEC exists for a reason.
@@WarBrah not about ops bro. About life and the lessons in it
Shawn Ryan needs to have you on his show. Definitely a story and message that needs sharing.
Everytime I hear of 🇬🇫 French Guiana I think FFL & Devils Island Penal Colony & Papillon.
I’m an American living in the Philippines. I know you mean about the hydration issue. Can’t work in the yard without being drenched with sweat in no time. Difficult to keep those fluids in.
Enjoying your story
I am glad France has the morality to go after these people. I love the outdoors and hate these polluters. I am not comparing to that jungle, but my son and I were in Canada camping and at night it was so loud, because every insect was trying to get into your tent to eat you. It sounded like an electric hum. Thanks for your story.
When I was in the 82nd ABN DIV I attended JOTC in Panama. Later, while serving in the 10th MTN DIV I went back twice. One of the courses was for Scouts/Recon PLTs.
Got deployed to the Honduras for six months. The jungle ain’t no joke. I actually liked it!
Same. Went to Panama in the early 90s for one month training in the “Trees” the CO joked as we loaded the van in Miami. First experience and it was scary wonderful. I hate leaf cutter ants btw. I am now retired in Brazil. The illegal mining and deforestation is enraging. Money changes hands and politicians look away. Suggestion. Add some still photos while you speak to break up the video. Easy to do and adds to the content. Good stuff. Thanks for your experience.
I love the sounds at night sleeping in the woods. If you stay long enough, they’ll talk to you. They’ll warn you when something’s coming something’s not right, when the weather changes, or when there is peace.
Great content. Really into these stories / experiences. From SO to Legionnaire is wild. Hoping his channel takes off... I feel like this dude is going to be on Joe Rogan selling books before you know it.
Would be an honor. We grow how the universe has planned. Organic👊🏼
Man, this is the dude you want on your side.
Damn straight. And i'm on your side bro!👊🏼
I loved when we went to jungle school in Panama. You’re not lying. Ant , spiders, monkeys, snakes. I learned that you are in their world, disrespecting them will be your biggest problem. Great video.
Thank you , my step dad was in The French foreign legion. He was German and said he joined after WW2. He claimed he fought in South African in 1951-1953. Algeria I believe, he said he was part of a paratrooper group.
You read the Devil's Guard?
Merci pour ton service et ton temoignage. Tu faits honneur a la legion. Felicitations pour ton passage au CEFE!
Thanks bro - French Guayana is European Union in South America like Saint Martin, Martinique, etc.
The SELVA. That's crazy that there's illegal hold mining. It's dangerous
You should reach out to Shawn Ryan and see about getting on his show. Good luck! Love the content
This is so cool. Your personality is really matched perfectly to being the warrior. Few of us regular folks are so perfectly matched with what our professions are (were, I'm 60 yrs old). I have mild cerebal palsy and had a rare childhood bone-cancer like thing at 14, but at 19 I tried to join the Army as a duty and learn a skill, but Baltimore MEPS said 'No'. LOL. It all worked out, I had a career, but nothing with the passion and match that you have being a professional soldier!
Hey bro, for real I appreciate your positive lens. That is my most important lesson. Thanks for bein here🤙🏼
Right on brother respect
Rest when you're dead brother 🙏🏻
Hey man just accidentally discovered your channel. Fantastic stuff. In one of your other videos you spoke about how being at your bottom is the biggest blessing - that is true wisdom. Your vulnerability is your strength on full display, and as you let your light shine, you’re unconsciously giving other people permission to do the same. From one sailor to another, Bravo Zulu. As another human, we will all “have a rendezvous with death,” but our character and virtue hopefully makes this world a little better than we found it. God bless you, and keep inspiring.
👊🏼
It will be cool if you would do a video on gears comparison between your time in the SEALs and in FFL
Yeah i'll throw some gear comparison/arms comparisons in a future vid good call.
Thank you for sharing your experiences. I was in the US Marines 26 years ago so my adventuring days are behind me as far as the military goes. I can live more of them vicariously through you and others like you.
You're in the right place brother. But the adventure/pressing hard into life should never end!
As a 25 year US Marine Vet/Retiree. Semper Fi. Write it Dude. I didn't do jungle ops, but I did a lot of Artic Ops, loved it
Of all the people I have listened to, you are the most motivating. There are those of us that had a similar experience with the US military and our own failures. To see you thriving gives hope and shows me there are ways to improve and fix the mess you might find yourself in. Thank you.
👊🏼
RESPECT DUDE that jungle is not for the weak,that where papillion was jailed
Unforgiving
Really enjoy your story and videos brother keep them coming
I will
Doing a great job of keeping it relevant at the same time entertaining. Perseverance is key.
My Dad did two pumps in Vietnam with the 101st, he has always told me about the sounds of the jungle at night. He said if thinks about it he can still hear them like it was yesterday
Surreal
Another awesome one Taylor!
Your storytelling is second to none, your vids are excellent! Merci mon ami pour toutes ces anecdotes!
What a channel! If I'm not picking up some much appreciated life wisdom or food for thought, I can catch some geography and history lessons which I equally find fascinating. Keep it up! You're doing a great job 👍
It's all here! Lol🤙🏼
Fantastic video. From your entire story of how you ended up in the FFL, you seem to be doing great. What a journey and what an incredible young man you are. Congrats
And still lot to learn and lot more areas to get better. Thanks for your support🤙🏼
@@tcavofficial that's what people don't get always learn, growing,mind,body,soul, spirit. Can't fill full cup, even stuff we learned,a day, month, year's later, we can understand better & better.
Awesome!!! Thanx for this!!!
Please keep up the content. You’re an inspiration to constantly chase excellence. I always look forward to your videos.
More to come!
Loving this channel.
Taylor, thank you so much for sharing bro.
Much respect from West Oz.
Yeah bro!👊🏼
Love your videos bro
Man u leave me speachless with these videos, i cant thank you enough for your service and willingness to share with us ur experience... THANK YOU and God bless brother!
My pleasure
I really enjoy listening to your experiences. I always feel motivated to get shit done after watching your videos. Keep it coming! Stay safe! Much respect!
Stay tuned for more goodness👌🏼
Incredible story of picking yourself back up. You need to speak to our youth today, who have no direction. Motivate them!
I could sleep to that easy. That sounds so beautiful and peaceful and soothing.
Opération Harpie, maybe do a 2 yr stint after your contract in 3 REI.
LPN
Your message is important. Your delivery is amazing. Thank you again.
Appreciate the words we'll STAY improving👊🏼
Everything you’ve saying about the Jungles in South America is correct! I was never in the Amazon but I was in the Jungles and Mountains of Venezuela! It is no joke down there!
Can’t tell you how much I appreciate your channel. You are a great story teller bet you never saw that being a part of your skillset. Always, look forward to when you drop a video. Mil gracias 🙏
Def not but if I'm going to do something i'm going to make sure it's elite👌🏼
As always super cool, thank for the history lesson, hope you are well Brother. Keep them coming!
You bet👌🏼
Love your talks man. I can’t believe how amazing technology is. Here I am “or was” at 5am in the morning getting ready for work and looking at myself in the mirror reflecting on the previous day. I’m listening to a dude who I would have never of crossed paths with in the real world. Listening to his solid life advice and getting a chance to see things from his point of view. A dude that’s in the fucking jungle hundreds of miles away. Good stuff man and thanks for recording the jungle sounds. Look forward to more videos.
Sh*t's wild isn't it? Grateful for the powerful platform.
Sounds like your getting out after the contract is up. Love these videos, I’ve always been fascinated by the legion.
You're such a cool guy Taylor. Ty for your excellent videos.
Dude that's some good stuff i appreciate you fighting for the ol country im mostly French myself it's good to know you boys are still getting after it
Always🤙🏼
Excellent! Filming in a wooded setting was a nice touch - the sounds at the end, nicer touch. You’re really coming into your own as a master story-teller; doing this at such a young age will lead you to greatness as you age (and maybe one day becoming a dad and passing on this knowledge/skill/talent). Wishing you all the success!
Stoked to have you here on the journey
Respect for the reality of your world, wisdom and grit! Keep making these videos, so unique and without the fiction - true resolve, we are cheering for you my veteran brother, salute!
Thanks for being with me on the journey
This is very impressive !!!!
Great training story
Thank You for the Video.
You bet!
Great stuff man proud of you thank you for serving are country
👊🏼🐉
this is hard af. These guys are pretty tough... impressive
This is part of what makes me want to join the Legion: forcible confrontation with the brutal struggle that is nature and reality. Even the US Marines, in their pathetic need to be diverse and inclusive, are lowering their standards and training harshness to allow substandard people to reach the bar. How can you raise a warrior in such conditions? Where you're expected to be soft, accommodating, and politically correct? FORGET ABOUT IT!
Email me if serious: tcavofficial@gmail.com
Don’t bash the Corps too hard bro. Unfortunately we had a couple of commandants in the past who acted like politicians and not killers. I won’t say their names. General Berger and the new acting commandant General Smith are making a valiant effort to undo the damage the caused.
@@billionsandbillions
Doesn't matter, the Corps doesn't set its own standards, Washington does. So long your recruiting and culture are determined by corrupt outsiders who're willing to compromise strength and pragmatism for faddish ideals, you'll always be compromised.
The Legion may swear loyalty to France but, it possesses the autonomy to determine its own composition pursuant to its traditions and strength. To my knowledge, the only thing that's really changed is their discontinuation of issuing Legionnaires ruck sacks with wire shoulder straps instead of the ones they came with as a form of discipline...and only then because the wires tended to cut too deep and sever nerves and circulatory structures. They didn't do it because a wailing mother started trending on social media or because a corporate groupie-sorry, _congressperson,_ ordered them to...they did it because the damage and infection incurred to their men outweighed the value of the lesson issued.
Be honest with yourself, the Marine Corps no longer possesses such resolve. If a congressional committee told you all to wear rainbow camouflage and shoot your enemies with strongly worded reprimands for their problematic behavior, you'd all be compelled to do it and your superiors would tell you how "gung-ho" it made you appear and that you'd be honored to be the most progressive fighting force in the world...and with your loyalty to the Corps, you'd eat that sh|t up like it was Crayola covered in jalapeno cheese spread.
The only orders the Legion has to take are where to go, when to slaughter, and who to kill. They have total liberty in all other regards. Hell, they're so autonomous they engaged in open rebellion against France and conspired to overthrow de Gaulle himself when he determined it time to abandon French Algeria and render the sacrifices of all their comrades in vain...and even though they did not succeed, France kept them around because they're that damn good. I'd ask, _"What do you think your government would do if you tried something like that?"_ but it'd be pointless, because you and your colleagues don't swear allegiance to the Corps, you swear it to a document and the congress and presidency who've been wiping their asses with that document for over a century.
*[EDIT]* Made some minor grammatical corrections
Another amazing video,
Your's is a great saga, I enjoy watching and sharing it.
Glad you're here brotha
Enjoyable vid, reminded me of my own experience jungle training with the brit army, much like you i found the environment challenging but once you are in the routine, the claustrophobia of the dense foliage opens to another world alive with life. Some of us thrive in that environment but quiet a few of my mates suffered no end from the mossy bites, humidity and the slow controlled pace of soldiering in the jungle, they could not deal with being quiet and concentrated for long patrols. Some of us are cut out for jungle warfare, and some aren't. Keep up the good work my friend, your vids are well put together and enjoyable.
Thank you brother always cool to get a thumbs up from guys who have been there too🤙🏼
Enjoyed your sharing again, TCAV. I was able to go to JOTC at Ft. Sherman. Your deployment sounded very challenging. You are not wrong - land nav in the jungle is no joke. Lost my pace count trying to get around difficult terrain, and poof we are a bit Lima Lima Mike lol. Be good, man. A pleasure hearing from you.
Your ability to take experience into words with humility and kindness is something I've absolutely never experienced before in my life, sir... thank you for everything.
Appreciate that brother
Your stories are very inspiring. It makes me put things in perspective. The military mindset can help you in civilian life as well. When I was younger I joined our countries infantry. I was never deployed, and to be honest, I wasn't a good soldier because I was too stubborn. But it did teach me lessons to get my life straightened out. With content like this, I can keep learning those lessons.
Solid brief! Thank you. Love from Prescott, Az
Love that desert love and heat‼️👊🏼
Waddell, I have never been there...@@Mr.Average1957
Army Infantry Iraq Vet checking in. I really enjoy all of your content. I really regret not making a trip to Paris. I watch everything when you release it. You advice and perspectives hit home. Keep it coming!
Real ones get it👊🏼
Ok that was pretty interesting. Would love to hear more of your experiences. Thanks for the vid!
More to come!
Big W.W. vibes.
Killer content
I went to Brazil for 2wks I got bite by a mosquito & was sick for about 9days it sucked😂 but I loved it
Appreciate the insight and educating me on the FFL being in South America. I served in The Armed Forces of the U.S.
Army Active 83-86 U.S. Marines 86-89. You on the other hand have taken it to another level.
I will continue watching your content.
Sincerely,

I respect your service brother and thank you for being here👊🏼
Love your videos, and your message brother... Semper Fortis...
Right on
One of your best, thanks! I agree with the others. Write a book(s)! 😊
I spent a few years in Panama City, Panama flying in and out of there .Me and the boys decided one day to go fishing on Lake Gatun . What blew me away was the sounds. Monkeys screaming all day , crocs cruising around, birds everywhere crowing and singing . Thickest jungle I've ever seen ! On the way back after a few cold beverages we decided to stop to take a leak along the side of the jungle .It was around Sunset , and still some light . I thought to myself as I was pissin that there could be a Jaguar 1 meter in front of me and I wouldn't see it!!! WILD COUNTRY ! Much respect ! Keep up the good work! Cheers
Jurassic park
Man… jungle training was a whole other beast. I did mine in Okinawa, can’t imagine how much crazier it was in the Amazon.
Great experience
Crazy shit. You have done, and continue to have awesome life experiences. I hope once you are done you write a book.
I would love to see a movie about your life or at least a audiobook. Not too many Warrior become broken,lost, the living dead and then reborn.
Man Your a Great story teller it's very special never forget that it's more important than anything
This man is the real deal no doubt. Humbled by life. I’m a former 11b brother keep it up man you’re one hell of an orator. Respect! Toujours Pret
Toujour👊🏼
I've been enjoying your stories bro. Man that is fascinating. This one is so different from what my Army experience was, it was cool to hear about it. Keep it up man and thanks.
Thanks for bein' here brother. New vids dropped EVERY Monday and Thursday at 0600 Eastern Time🤙🏼
The recording at the end is mental.!!! The jungle is definitely alive and from the sounds of it, it has bad intentions. Great journey thanks for sharing

You do have a great way to paint a story for the watcher 👍
Thank you very much!
Hey brother, I was a combat Marine Corps 87-91 infantry unit 3/6 kilo Co. My hats off to you, bro! Keep giving us some great info!
Right on!
I like this video the best of them so far. You've established your back story, now let's hear some of the experiences. I spent 8 years in the Marines and spent a couple years on ships going to the Mediterranean, Middle East and Africa. I can relate to a lot of what you talk about.
Yeah had to set the foundation
So cool! Love your videos’
Glad you like them!
when i was army i went to jungle warfare school down in panama . being from florida i thought i knew the "woods" jungle but man i always told my kids the jungle was loud at night they never understood that. 50 years later i still have to sleep with a fan on for noise. i cant stand the sound of a million critters at night..good stuff
When my dad was SF thru 80s he was in Jungle Expert school Panama, not there anymore, The SAS have Green Hell down there too
Another interesting and great video!
Thank you! Cheers!
Really enjoy disvideo very cool Would love to hear more stories and future videos.thank you
More to come!
Great vlog Brother Semper Fi LFFL
Right on👊🏼
I went through Jungle training in Panama in the early 80s. I enjoyed as well. But through critters were relentless!
Armies of em
Great story man! I forgot France had a colony in South America. Didn't realize what it did until now! Can't imaging trying to keep the drug cartels and opportunists off your doorstep. Cheers!
Glad you enjoyed and being a part of this process. We have a lot more learning and enjoyable stories on deck brotha🤙🏼
Its not a colony. Its a Departement Outre Mere. Just like a part of mainland (Metropole) France.
Another great video 👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Hey Ty, always great to watch you, glad you liked Guyane ! This brought back memories, I was there in 2010 and back then we did almost only the Brazilian border - the Schlabords were in charge of the Suriname border. We had a massive Polish sergeant doing the diving to catch the boat engines after we arrested the orpailleurs - it was forbidden to dive but as you know, "pas vu pas pris" 😄
Cheers from Congo, see you on the Circuit after your service?

😆Just came out off the cuff. Lol
Impressive Capo !!
I have never done what you have accomplished. I have mad respect for you. You hit rock bottom then got back on your feet. Will you stay in the Legion? You are a man on a mission
TBD. You'll be on the journey with me
Good shit, Cav.
👊🏼
During my time as a grunt in 1RNZIR (New Zealand)stationed in Singapore/Malaysia, we spent alot of time in the jungle. I loved it. I was in my element.
It truly sounds like hell. So creepy ha! Can’t wait for the BOOKS (plural). Take your time and write them well. It seems they will become classics with all your experiences!
thank you, this is interesting
Glad you enjoyed it
Nicely done !
Thank you! Cheers!
Sounds of the jungle is fucking scary!!love your vids bro!keep doin'
