We need a “I hate running. That shit’s for the enemy.” t-shirt 🙏
😆👊🏼
Yeah that'd be brilliant
I'd buy one for sure !!! 👊🏼
I second this! I was in the Canadian Army for 8 years, I would rep that shirt. Hard as nails brother! 💪
Hate it so much. But that is exactly why you have to do it.
I know you probably won't see this, but these videos you're releasing are helping me through a rough patch. Thank you. Really.
I see it. I got u bro👊🏼
@@tcavofficial talk about the food from day one to today and the pay! Please.
This is the best one yet. Great job breaking down the difference between "not for me" and "I am a quitter" as I don't think others understand that divide.
Exactly this comment
Here’s my prediction. Your channel will surpass well over 100k RUclips subscribers by the time the year is out. This channel is going to rocket off into the cosmos and I cannot wait until it does. I respect you brother
Ryan that's what's up bro❗️ I sincerely appreciate the support of the authentic ones👊🏼
@@tcavofficialif you ever want to get some content in. Would be a pleasure to do so brother.
@RyanForrest1664 I'm game brother. Shoot me an email lemme know what's up:
Tcavofficial@gmail.com
Wes Watson'esque
You need to get on Joe Rogan bro, more people need to hear your story, it’s fucking incredible
T: Your situation is highly unique in that you have checked the block in the special operations world that very few have. I spent 20 plus years in Army SF and knew two other guys that tried out and successfully finished their tours in the Legion. You are in rare company my friend.
Appreciate you here brotha.
The way you're straightforward and also extremely articulate in a sense where you do not use 'um', 'uh' but instead giving yourself time to say the next thing, absolutely love that!
Tactical pause. Filler words are for those unsure of what they are saying. We live by this sh*t👊🏼
@@tcavofficial Yo I’m planning on going to BUD/s after I graduate this year I’m pretty confident physically I’m running a 8:54 swimming a 8:52 25 pull-ups 100 push-ups 100 sit-ups wrestler and boxer running 50 miles a week but I’m 5’10 a buck 40 I started my bulk already but I’m tryna keep it clean I should end up at about 152 (2 lbs a month) which still sounds pretty small do you think I should up my calories so I’m gaining more weight even though I’ll end up at a higher body fat ideally I want to be around 170 but ima have to get alittle dirty with the bulk to put on the weight in the amount of time I got till I graduate
@@Hollywood88877 can I reply..? If you're burning carbs with regular sit ups and pres ups at 100 a time Increasing carbs will be burnt off but you should be eating protein foods and "healthy" fats too. You need a healthy balanced diet. Protein, Fat and carbs are fuel. You won't be gaining body fat if you are exercising like 100 sits and pushes and running and swimming. You'll be burning fat but, but, you won't burn fat if you stuff yourself with carbs because you will burn the carbs first. But, but you need some, not much, carb to start the fat burning process. If you are going at it like a basket, you be using carb initially in your body - you need carbs or you will feint. Faint? Feint? Fkit!
Fats are NOT bad. But, if you are a fat basket and you want to lose that dumpy stuff then minimum carbs find out how much is minimum then carry on burning your fats;with exercise all that gym shit and eating protein, fats, fats, not sugars.
If you burn more than you eat you lose weight. If you eat more than you burn you gain weight.
Your body at rest if you are a male needs around 2,000 calories a day.
So if you are working out you need a lot more, your tummy will tell you.
Your stomach is like soft elastic - if you stuff it constantly full of food you will be forever hungry, like a dog.
If you starve, try not to, but if you eat way too little, your stomach will shrink, when it dies this, it is hard for you to eat too much.😊 but try to avoid this. I lasted 40 days on tea and coffee don't do it, it will try to drop you.
Fat is NOT bad if you burn it off. It is 👍 healthy food.👍👋🌄🌞
Sugar is crap, you can live without it but it will give you energy, but so will bananas...
MINIMAL carbs is needed to kick start the fat burning process. When the body needs fuel it will look around and seeing not sugar it will start to burn your fat for energy. If, you, don't, exercise but be a couch potato then you will have very little need for fat so any excess food you eat will go into long-term storage in your body called, FAT. And you become a fat basket!
Sugar is unnecessary except in an emergency sugar is natural speed ( well it's processed)
Sugar is generally not good for you.
Carbs produce sugar in your body which is used to power your body - when this readily available sugar gets too low (yayy!)!then the body starts to burn fat 👍
Anything you eat produces sugar in your body Anything and Everything.
Unburnt carbs or sugar turn, to, fat. Without enough carbs the body reverts to using fat for fuel, this is very 👍😊 good!
Remember, you can burn protein, fat, sugar.
Unless it's an emergency don't try to live off sugar, that would give you diabetes Type 2.
So small amount of carbs, find out how much.
Then burn off the fat.
CAVEAT:WARNING: If, if you burn way too much fat and energy and fking starve yourself in the process, you will certainly lose weight but you will also start to burn muscle first before fat!! Flesh! This is because your body needs the protein which you are not giving it because you are either starving or going way to heavy on your diet.......not good....👎
This is often the result of a crash diet - then you have another job of replacing the muscle, this, I believe is through gym and proper recommended food 🥑🥝.
Having depleted muscles is not a good thing, for obvious reasons. You heart is a muscle so avoid muscle atrophy.
If you drink loads of water you will suddenly lose belly fat but do this over a week to 10 days only and don't be exercising or keep it small during that time. Don't forget , if you drink loads of water you are also flushing away vitamins, minerals, which is why you lose the fat, the body is getting desperate yet feeling full. If you do this during COVID the fact that the body is in a major battle with the COVID and is calling in ground and support too means that this fat burning process is exaggerated. Bye bye belly fat. But, if it does not work in 10 days then get back to your normal diet.
Trans fats are bad 😞 they come from fried foods but, but you can burn them off just like you can burn off Any shit providing you work hard in the gym, out on the field etc. etc.
Protein foods.
As you sleep amino acids create spirals of protein which then take off around your body repairing muscles 💪
So thats why you train, and eat protein.
Hydration is king. Don't drown yourself but drink plenty of water. At least a couple of litres a day. It's, critical🤕
Smoking alcohol drugs, forget all that shit. Am not saying don't socialise am saying don't make it part of your diet.
Socialise. Balance the work you do with the play you like try to have friends, buddies, or luvverz and normal fking life man, balanced off against hiding in the effing nature.... because one, helps, the other.
Good healthy diet. Meat is good any meat. Not bacon. Not pork, much. Chicken is good, pastrami,
Good hydration.
Good healthy exercise.
Walking is good.
Running is good.
*Things which will make you fat fast.
Eating and slouching on the couch.
Sitting on Social Media for hours (extremely bad for you - do this for 3 months and, you die...)
Eating a meal before bed.
Pints of beer,
beer before bed.
No exercise.
Snacking all day AND eating THREE meals a day. (Do one or the other but not both)
Killer foods
Baked goods (you like pizza? Sorry)
Cakes but in moderation
Cookies but in moderation
Processed foods🙊
Boxed meals😟. If you eat these once you ain't gonna die overnight but you don't want to live on this food forever.
(Not K-rats 24 hr rations these are good and necessary and worked out by all those qualified nutritionists back at camp)
Good luck Hollywood.
Yep...when you pause you are so still I think my internet is lagging!
You seem like a cool dude, not a narcissist like many former operators on RUclips. I can tell from your videos like this one that you care about other people. Failure will do that to a person. 😃 At French Commando school we would be doing training and then the instructors would just take off and we would run after them to the other side of base and continue training. I bet you went through this too!
As a young Marine getting ready for the Force Recon Endoc, I developed a mantra for training. “Keep going, don’t quit.” As I ran up the hills at Pendleton, this kept me going. I averaged out 3rd in an Endoc group of 16. That was just one day, but I have used it ever since. Quitting is a foreign concept now.
I appreciate you, TCAV. Showing my daughter your videos. She is struggling with motivation and has let failure get her down. Your message is a good one.
Wonderful!
Mr Cav - such words of truth! I'm 69 yrs old and experienced a business failure and then was fired. Picking up the pieces is tough but you express it wonderfully. I hope young men will listen and benefit. Keep posting and stay safe. Thanks
Thanks for sharing
4:02 pm Your advice is real. I retired military, USMC 1976-1989 US Army 1990-2001. Ranger/SF. Mil Contractor2005-2013 Proud for you getting your shit together. Glad I didn’t really know what I would endure & overcome. You nailed that part. Stay hard!!!
Mad respect for your career brother. Honored to have your support.
Your honesty is refreshing. Your a Mentor 👊🏻🇦🇺
“Don’t dig your own grave to hell” keeping that one!!!! Appreciate the blunt nature of your delivery….Reminds me of my youth as a young Marine in the 80’s.
I love that line too
I've come up short exactly where you've succeeded (both branches), dug myself that hole straight to Hell, and spent over two decades crawling back out. I stand in awe of your achievements, amused to hear Legion boot's pretty much the same as I remember, and heartened to hear the kind of no BS advice I could have used back in the day. Drive on, and good fortune in your future endeavors.
Brother glad to have you on the other side. We're all in this together now.🤙🏼
I’m a veteran from OIF/OEF and sometimes I feel I didn’t accomplish enough in my military career. Your channel inspires me to do more in my personal and family life.
Get some anavar Bro!
@@beck4218 lol used that in my younger days
Focus on being the best man you could possibly envision. Then use that man to help everybody around u. That's the ultimate purpose
At this point, in every video I've come to expect you to get yelled at by a Russian dude speaking French. 😂
Good video Bro. I was Army Iraq 2003-2004 then was honorably discharged. I can relate I hit the wall adjusting to civilian life. Had lots of anger seeing these civilians partying like no war was going on, got in trouble with the law few times Bar fights! One day decided to get my act together use GI bill go to college. It's funny I did consider joining the French legion when I first got out but did my research and a 5-year commitment was a little more than I could mentally handle at that time. I like your videos gives me a glimpse into what it would have been like 😎
bro when we got back we got mad when we saw people smiling
I am a new sub to your channel. I like your mentality, your whole demeanor. Thanks for the lecture in this video.
I'm 43yrs old, out of shape, and switched careers about a year ago. Fr: Driving/logistics to working on a treatment plant as an Operator. I have these written exams coming up and I haven't studied for shit since I left high school!
I'm nervous about failing the exams. (4 trys) is what we get.
The content in your video gives me motivation brother. Thx🙏

Failure is just the lack of finding that hidden gem of internal GROWTH!! Keep Climbing!! Keep Struggling the Good Struggles!!
What a great story and thanks for the excellent motivational tips you're giving us. Watch out bro every woman in the world wants to have your baby!
Lol, def not ready for that pressure
you are a fricken legend my friend..pure inspiration.
We in it together brotha🤙🏼
Seven times down.
Eight times up.
Eh, Taylor?
Always
Turn off the human and turn on the machine.
Are you going to extend and sign another 5 year contract or are you done after your time is up?
TBD
@@tcavofficial roger that mate, just finished all your videos, thanks for putting these together. Huge respect 🫡 and looking forward to more 🇺🇸 🤝 🏴
You don't learn shit from winning. Failure is the best teacher! Unless you fail you are not going to see the holes in your game.
Well said 👍
What are your thoughts on the PNAC papers, we haven't fought for American interests in damn near 100 years
Korea and Vietnam were definitely for American interests... and the world's interest. Communism is cancer.
I love your videos so much. They arent fake motivation. You've been through it. Thank you for sharing your story.
Awesome man!! Thanks TCAV! It’s amazing how many times in life I’ve had to completely learn something new and forget everything else. Glad to know I’m not the only one!!
Right on!
"I hate running, that shit is for the enemy"... hadn't heard that in a long time!👍
😆🤙🏼
I wouldn't want to live through another hell week....much less 3.5 years more of it....major props bro,for not giving up on the fight
🔱🤙🏼
These are words of wisdom that more kids need to be told. I know I could have benefited back in the day.
“You needed a sundial” 😂😂
😆🤙🏼
‘Hate running, that SHIT is for the enemy’. Love it 😂🤣.
TOO true! 😆🤙🏼
That 800 SAT score told you that the SAT wasn't for you...
Running is for the enemy, true. But if you want to get them you have to run faster... 😎
Thanks again for sharing with us. Let me tell you, it helps a lot to listen to your life experience .
I watched all your videos. Love them. 👍🏻
Appreciate your support🤙🏼
Man, you're a wordsmith!, You really got the words that put motivation out into the world.
The real ones get it👊🏼
I would love to hear more about your first year in France, learning the language, the difficulties and culture shock of learning the French language and becoming a part of the French culture. How is it to communicate in French and the difficulties you face and or still face ?
Love your lessons. Applicable to all facets in life. Well done man.
When you call in an air strike so you don't have to do it yourself. Remember the Air Force ! I'm a U S AIR FORCE VETERAN ! When I talk to an active Army or Marine .They look at me like I don't count.Besides we let the Officers do all the fighting ! ! !
Gotta find yourself and do a self ego check and can’t lie to yourself for sure. And sometimes yourself has to challenge itself . Like when ya might think “ there’s no way I can do this , let alone again. “ Or when ya say “ I love this shi! , is that it? I want more . ? (Even though ya really may not ) . But if ya really want it ,and have to ,and dig deep . Especially when ya see other guys dropping or quitting . Similar to let’s say fighting( martial arts, boxing , Muay Thai , etc)
If ya have ever went to learn or train . Ya know it’s huge just to go try . Not saying becoming a ufc champ . But just checking your own ego . How many times have ya seen guys come in , and then they’re 1 & done. Lots of times big guys. But it’s that coming back and learning and lasting a lil longer or taking longer to tap . Or learning head movements , etc. . When crap gets tough and/or hard conditions I don’t sit back and think how sad or sorry I am for myself or why I have to do something . I do it pumping myself up saying “ oh ya! I love this shi!, is that it? I wanna do more and daily . When others will think “ hell no! You’re crazy . And they’ll stop . Drop out. Or say before even trying “ no way”. Hell, they’ve already mentally beat themselves . Without trying. Big, small. Whatever ya are . Ya gotta know ya got that much more to do or use what ya have to be the best ya can be. And nothing is a better motivator than someone telling ya you can’t. Use that as fuel .
I got a stupid joke saying when someone has an excuse. I call em Eric . For Eric Excuses. They’ll always try to say why this happened or didn’t . And then they don’t know what it means. lol. And if female I call em Erica. As joke usually to myself.
And if I screw up or don’t come through I just take responsibility . And make changes. Slow is better than stop. 💯
Nobody has addressed the question of the legality of American citizens joining foreign militaries. And the answers are not clear, and one should consider the implications. I did not join the US Army out of a sense of patriotism, altruism, or any of the above. I grew up in a military family and I wanted to do cool stuff and play with cool toys. And I did that. And you know what? The US military wasn't my primary choice to be a badass combatant. It was the Rhodesian Foreign Legion. I was technically too young to have joined it at the time. Not technically, I was.
When I joined the Army (I was infantry) I professed to some of my compatriatists that I signed up to kick ass and take names and, well to kick ass. And that the US Army was a secondary goal.
They hated me. They thought I was fighting against my own country. I still live with that today.
Have you thought about the implications of your American citizenship serving with a foreign military?
Were you more in bodybuilder shape vs fitness shape when you first attempted the physical screening? I ask that because you look pretty jacked, which ain't great for running
'That shit is for the enemy!' That's funny!
Fail your way to success
Even as a civilian, this vid' was inspiring to me, at this very moment in my life. Thank you Sir.
oh so , i was wondering what regiment you where from , now i know , i've trained against the 2nd REG , once , they took our Fob in under 30 minutes -_- ( LT wasnt giving a fuck tough , i would have done better )
My life would have turned out very different if I could have heard TCAV when I was a dumb ass in high school.
Man, I love this! Solid advice for any situation in life. That, that doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger! Much respect to you!
I feel like I'm sittin' on the other side of the table receiving some counseling -- aka, Good wisdom...
We in it together bro
Respect. I learn a lot from these videos. Thank you.
Are you a religious man ?
Does faith play any part in your endurance or will to win ?
It's crazy that you've smashed these elite tests that very few can actually complete and you hate the main component which is running it looks like our Heavenly Father has blessed your righteous efforts that's cool AF !
💫✝️✨
You're doing good work brother. I had a meeting down in Ft Bragg back in the mid-2000's (funny enough it was with Goggins ) . IF the military ,. especially the Special Operations , Special Forces Community had their shit together ? The best of the best Operators need to start spotting the good soldiers coming up the Pipeline and train them directly . It is almost NON existent . You cant win wars blowing off and shitting on the youth . Train them right ,. make them tough ,. train in agility ,. stretch , eat right,. stay SINGLE,. you can go a long way .
Just subscribed to your channel. I really admire your ability to describe your shortcomings and more importantly how you overcame them. That warriors like you walk among us gives me hope all is not lost in this world. Best to going forward. You’re a one-man wrecking machine. Outstanding videos.
Thanks and welcome
Hey Taylor, I just finished watching all 7 of your stories. If you don't mind me asking, what made you punch that guy at the bar when you were a SEAL?
Enjoy hearing your story bud ,my path isn’t nearly the same but I’ve hit a crossroads in my life where none of my possible paths are to be taken lightly
Looking to relocate my family to northern Italy near the border from the United States and your videos have made me feel as if the journey that I’ve been fretting on aren’t actually as wild hearted as the people I’ve vented to have made it sound
Look forward to hearing the rest of your channel. Thanks
Mate, this is excellent info. This resonates in all areas of life. You should become a motivational speaker in the future! Really great.
Amor Fati
this is the best. for all of us trying to overcome adversity and truly trying to get better at something, anything no better words have been spoken. for every winner of first place there's lot's of competitors in the ranks behind him. never give up or if you do know when it's time. be good to yourself. not easy on yourself but you can always come back another day. obviously i am not on the level as you but from the bottom of my heart i thank you for telling it like it is and what it takes.
You failed the pulmonary function test.
We learn more from our failures than any successes as long as we can get back up and make an assessment of the what? Why? we failed make changes and continue driving forward. Being comfortable with the uncomfortable makes us wiser and mentally strong
Hope you continue to strive for greatness in yourself, and hopefully the values and morals that keep a man or woman dedicated to honor and integrity.... Daily challenges are part of the game. Luck to you!
Just watched all your videos in a row. Great motivational talks. Also like the French words mixed in, faux pas et bordelle. Salut!
Big up
If you are not barfing you aren't pushing cardio enough 😅
"Take two salt tablets and drive on"!
Good motivation, I love these stories.
We are all going to have failure in life it’s something people have to learn to deal with. I tell this to kids. It’s all about growth and building up yourself in whatever way. We all see successful people in the media and it looks so easy at times, but we don’t see the numerous failures that led to the success. Important life lessons 💪
Can you do a French video? I need skills. You know. What I mean
"That shit is for the enemy!" I love it, I'm gonna say that all the time now. Also, running is great.
Marche ou creve !
Bad runner, I feel you! Went from USN where I never ran (except to 1. Liberty Call 2. Pay & 3. Chow) to the Army where I had to run every day. Hated it (running, hated it with a passion), but adapted to it. Never give up, never quit. Despite my numerous military and civilian failures, I just picked myself up, dusted myself off, and proceeded to drive on with the mission.
"I have to work harder" - most American youth have no understanding of what that means.
Honest. Approachable. Humble. Driven. Inspirational.
When the navy kicked you out, did they also revoke your trident? I hope not. You're an inspiration.
When in France🇫🇷
Apprendre de ses échecs ... Se corriger, s'améliorer, persévérer, et recommencer encore et encore jusqu'à la victoire ... Dans certaines unités militaires c'est une règle ... Je me rappelle de maximes qui étaient affichées le long des couloirs de la compagnie ... Entraînement difficile, guerre facile .... La sueur épargne le sang .... 🤔🤔
Great video! I've always thought that how a man handles failure is often a better measure of who he is than how he handles success. Stay humble and wise. Cheers!
Absolutely!
You are french forever now. Even back to the USA, even your never come back in France. Thanks for your service and continue like that 👌🦾
Wonder If you end up involved in the Israeli / Palestine war .
what mile time would be considered good for the FFL?
As soon as we enter the building, we in the Serbian Army take off beret . I am interested in what the rule is in other countries and armies
PS. it came to my mind only because I see that he is in the barracks and has a beret on his head
The same in France, but it’s for the vid I guess.
Nobody passes every test in the military. You learn that sometimes the real test is to see how you deal with an impossible task.
I bet your instructors loved giving it some to an ex US SoF guy too, which can’t have helped 😅
March or die …..classic legionnaires saying
Yes brother its me ex RM subs going correct way content great keep it up stay safe.
Loving your vids and your honesty 👍
Always
Hahaha... that shit was nice! "I hate running. That shit is for the enemy"
Thanks man. For some reason you are more motivational than a lot of the Marine Officers I have listened to. Keep it up. Did not leave the military the way I wanted to either but life goes on.
Does the SEAL aspect of your experience affect how you're perceived by others in the Legion? Or is everyone kinda the same, carving their own reputation regardless?
Yeah man it's there's some respect with it for sure, but it's really all about what u can do now
Hej bro,what the oldest age guy you met,who start French legion?🙂
Keep grinding💪 Respect
39 1/2
My question is, How long did you last as a SEAL “After” finishing BUDS ???
Seven years.
Keep these gems coming, you magnificent bastard.
Brother! Appreciate that bro. We are staying the course👊🏼
Good peptalk. I enjoyed that.
How many paliers you did at beep test?
I don't know shit about passing military runs, but given the size Taylor appears, I would think he'd do better had he not been carrying so much upper body beef.
Bein jacked at the beach is more cool than run times
" It's an absolute BORDEL" . You are french, now .
😆🤙🏼
Be willing to look stupid" is the realest quote ever
I wuz n da United States of America army fer 8 yeers bruh and I overran George Washington as da greatest armed forceman who ever lived my boi. I would beet any armed forceman n history n a 1 v 1 battle, weapons or combatives.
Put the bottle down, dog.
i love your story. im sorry to ask but im very curious about your bottom teeth. is the lighting messed up or did you give yourself a 'grill" or did you have a dental issue? im really just wondering. sorry if that's offensive. no disrespect at all. I dont see a private message option either.
Full metal permanent crowns bottom jaw
Not that you would even want to but could you realistically go back to the American military after having completed what you need to as a Legionnaire?
Possible, I would need serious waivers die to my General Discharge prior
Big respect Cav- videos are immense .
You always mention how bad you were at running during the tests, what kind of times are we talking ?
You must’ve been somewhat decent!! Passable atleast, just out of interest !
Keep up the great work 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Fast enough to be SEAL and a Legionnaire.
@@tcavofficial that’s what I’m talkin bout 💪🏽 fast enough bro fast enough 💪🏽
