- Опубликовано: 22 май 2021
- 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🇩🇪🤝🇨🇵

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.

Irish and a soldier in the Legion makes him twice as dangerous.

If anyone is foreign and wants to know what this is: this chap is a member of the elite pathfinder unit within the French Foreign Legion. That is what the GCP does. Cheers, mate, get some.
Get some what?
Are they comparable to german Fernspäher?
@@aggravated_assault Yes, but GCP can also leads completly independant missions

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 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.

@@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
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.
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.
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.
From Ireland to GCP in the FFL, what a rare and amazing accolade. Respect.
can ube on the GCP being in the foreign legion?
yes if you are in the 2 REP

Thank you for your service mate. Great to have you by our side in the french army
What a life ! Be proud. Vive la France, vive l'Ireland !
Incredible dedication, resilience and general all round hard, tough bloke. Respect in buckets
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
😴😴😴😴😴 1798, Got an update on how that's going? 😴😴😴😴😴🤡
@@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
A very good montage ! I knew one or two ex-legionnaires and always remember everyone saying how brutal the training can be sometimes . I see you did 8 years and now have called time on your service .
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.
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.

Vive la France 🇫🇷
Comradeship and Brotherhood that cannot be found in any other profession. Good fighting. Much respect from Germany
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.
Awesome memory’s man brilliant u achieved so much in ur time in the Legion 🇮🇪👍
Great video Irish ... Awesome adventure's without any BS .. Loved it !!
Thank you for your service, Legionnaire. From a French-American who loves Corsica and admires the 2e REP. (I remember when McGregor went there!)
Yeees❤
I wish a nice new year s day eve to everybody. Lorinka
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

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.

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).
What a bad ass video. I can't wait too go over there and try it for myself when the time is right.
Hat off to you mate, great job and loved the video - all the best marching forward!
Loved that ,,, what an excellent life ,,, I was literally hours from going myself in the late 80s , I ended up in the army instead, still a huge regret to this day !
Thank you for your service

Thanks for the awesome montage man sitting in the airport waiting to go and see what's in store for me. Hope life's going well.
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 ;)
Merci à toi pour ton service !
I was hoping to see some scuba action, but just as well. Job well done, my brother in arms. Semper Fidelis!
Thank you for your service, vive la legion, vive la France, respect to our Irish ally
Great army with many from different countries, including our brave Irish 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
Bloody brilliant summary of times in the Legion ... Kudos ..Great editing..impact !
My son had to put ‘legion’ into a sentence for school so I typed French Foreign Legion in to RUclips to show him …. this video came up, really cool… hope he uploads more, looks like he’d have a solid fan base 😁
So badass...
Thanks for serving my country !
Ex-British infantry here, always had a romantic view of the Legion. You seem like you made some great memories and all the best for your future.
Well most people do have a romantic view about their dreams and things they want to do. I'm gonna try to join the legion even if it's not a rambo movie as some people claim.
Man you're a real life hero!
