Your story has motivated me to go all in.....again. I'm a Marine vet that has felt lost for some time now. Nothing to my name and a shitty life. Watching you made me decide to change things. Now I'm contacting a recruiter for US Border Patrol. Thank you for lighting a fire under my ass. I needed it
I got you bro. You really wanna get dialed in and locked TF on email me:
Tcavofficial@gmail.com
That's awesome bro! I'm in the firearms industry and make holsters. I own the company. This dude is legit. I'm ex Navy, not a SEAL, but wow did I have a career. If I say with this guy, we would have some serious stories. Good luck on Border Patrol.
Semper Fi Brother
Hope you do well. I've been in the same shit. Back in shit but not legally thank God right now but I live with a drunk nut and my youngest and that could change cuz of her flipping any minute. Early forties now. I'm so FCKed off, don't eat, weak I can barely breath just getting on two feet. Anyway, I gotta get my shit wired tight again before it kills me.
Beautiful story of the loser who cant live like a human and had to institutionalized forever.Living off the tax payers money while running around with a plastic gun thinking he is a hero.I salute you,Sir.😂😂😂😂
Sorry I couldn't make it through the entire soap opera. Let me recap. You were given the opportunity to be a seal, a position that people would cut off their rt nut for. Despite being a SEAL you thought it was ok to get into a barroom fight. Your country slaps your wrist and your retained. As soon as the limelight was taken off you do it again. Despite the crimes committed you got a general discharge. What a "gift" You were so grateful you traveled to Europe to join a Military group that is not the U.S's
We all screw up. You placed your needs above the SEALS twice. I understand and can relate with it all, except your lack of accountability. The Legion is an option, and maybe it will help you get it together. Sir you are not a SEAL. A SEAL would not draw his mates into any controversy. The reason you were not jailed or given LTHD is because they wanted to be rid of you ASAP. You know what I'm saying is fact. What do you think happens when your C.O. has to explain to the DOD why Special Forces has a troop that can't follow basic rules and runs to another country. The DOD would want to know why the C.O. allowed this to happen how good of a leader can he be? Your telling your story to find some sort of resolution or maybe a pat on the back, but you're still placing your needs above the righteous SEALS. You go join the military in another country ok, but do it alone. All that was given to you wasn't enough. If it were you wouldn't be here on RUclips. Good Luck, if the Legion dumps you I'm sure you could go red.
I say this with great empathy, no-one will want you until you like yourself. Get of the drugs for good and get counseling and you will go so much farther, and find piece. And I think you deserve it and are worth it. Remember lose the I and use we instead. Best of luck Sir.
French citizen here… Thanks a lot for your videos. SEALs are world famous. Our Legion Étrangère is legendary here and also known in the whole world. When you meet legionnaires on their free time they are incredibly generous guys with « big hearts » as we say here. On duty they are phenomenal warriors respected and feared everywhere.
As a French guy as many others, much respect for being a SEAL. But being a Legionnaire, fighting for our country 🇫🇷 patroling for Vigie Pirate in my country hits completely differently. Tu es aussi francais maintenant ! I hope you ll find what you re looking for in The Legion and that you are enjoying France and our culture. Many thanks and respect for joining the Legion Étrangère. 🙏 🤙 🇫🇷
All the love to France mon frere. Donne-moi une deuxième opportunité👌🏼
D'acc!
Yeah, this dude was meant for more. Most SEALs, not all, couldn't handle FFL physiologically. FFL is real. We've been in business for years and have sold to over 33 countries. My dad knew FFL people. They're real. Americans have no idea.
@@ruffianotvI think most Americans think they are badass criminals given a chance for more. We don’t think of them as special forces. What do you think Americans thought of them?
Great comment! peace be upon you.
I’m a Marine vet. Infantry. Your frank discussion and honesty is telling of your character. Much respect. I dreamt of a Legio Patria Nostra life after the Corps but I didn’t have the guts to do it. You had the guts to do it. Well done. Hope your career in the Legion is all that you hoped it would be. Be well.
Same teufel.
Going
Into the FFL requires bawls…
If I was only younger….
And maybe had more bawls lol
Marine, I was Army, trust me, you did enough, it's not about guts, the Marines to every other branch of US Military service, is The Legion, minus the parlay Vu français. 😅
wtf are you talking about pog. nobody thinks like this@@carlclarkarmyret137
@@carlclarkarmyret137 I've seen videos of the new recruits back talking their DIs and they can't run, do push-ups, or do the course.
yeah army rangers think marines are like the foreign legion because marines passed bootcamp.
lol u sure are a genius jk @@rangerswidow
Good shit man! When I was with MARSOC back in ‘07-08 we had this dude from Senegal in our company and I remember one day we had to stop by his barracks room and he had this green looking beret like yours on top of his desk and I asked him where that was from as I’d never seen a beret like that and he told me he was in the French Foreign Legion and I was speechless. Dude was a solid fighter! Mad respect for you all! New subscriber.

Just binged your 4 stories. Keep them coming mate! Support from Scotland 💪
Cav, these few videos have me captivated. I’m 62 and a retired CW4 Army Aviator, and I thought I’ve heard all the stories about overcoming adversity. But I can hear the strength in your voice and see it in your eyes. If you chronicle it right, at the end, it will be a best selling book that would motivate and encourage others who need your strong words. Keep it coming Brother
That's legit bro thank you.
Id buy a copy
@@bootoscarmike5897I would as well.
@Delatta1961 that's right.👍
I am retired military and now work as a veterans advocate and service officer. I talk to vets that are in bad circumstances and have severe problems. Your story is an inspiration. You owned your mistakes and overcame adversity. That’s what a real man does! I think this can motivate others to do the same. Stay strong! Much love and respect!
I’m a retired Canadian soldier. Your story is truly inspirational. You are a man good character. I hope you will tell us more about your training journey and what it is like in the Legion. Thank you for sharing your story with us. Respect from Canada 🇨🇦
Appreciate you bein on the journey with me
Thank you for sharing your story. I was an Army vet, cavalry scout, who served in Iraq in 2005, got out in 2006. Civilian life was hard around 2009 with the job market and high cost of living. I was stuck with debt , high rent, working two jobs, and then I was thinking about joining the French Foreign Legion as a way out of my madness. At the time I didn't follow through but much respect for your decision. Sometimes you have to lift your chin up and do what needs to be done.
Scouts Out bro!
Somehow the RUclips algorithm brought up your videos. I’m 25 and enlisting into the USMC as an infantryman. Your channel has a lot of potential, your stories are motivating, and you could be a huge role model for young guys tryna get their lives together and/or join the military.

Mate... I served 24 years in the British Army, been out for 8 now and miss it every day. It's a wavelength thing, I could listen to you and have a beer and a chat all day. The military is like a bug and once you identify the greater good that it can bring to your life it makes everything clearer and more stable. I worked with FFL guys in Macedonia and Kosovo in 1999, great bunch of guys. Looking forward to more of your tales and life lessons. All the best.
Thats whats up bro👊🏼
Woah, I was KFOR in 1999 too! Truck driver TFA 5000 as a civvy.... Skopje...etc and Pristina. Two of us fell asleep waiting for the convoy to move, it moved alright, but without us sleeping beauties. Woke up bang in nomansland, me in a 7.5t and this huge artic from....Slovakia..? We went to catch up the convoy at dawn, the Macedonian cops waved us to a parking lot full of civvy non KFORS, we would have been stopped there for effing days, but big truck from Slovakia just went in one entrance and out the other...I followed him we burnt down that road, eventually caught up with the convoy, being run and marshalled by a young Para Sargent and his squad, being MP's, showing more management expertise than the whole of the UN in their warm 4x4s with UN painted on pristine white sipping on Cappuccinos and writing shit on papers, phonies,
The Macedonian cops thought we had just jumped the convoy and took big guy to the cash machine ATM to fine his ass
but the young Para Sergent stood in and explained to the cops, in no uncertain terms, that we were part of our convoy. He had to negotiate and handled it well and won. Kudos to that young soldier, I'll never forget. I'd been driving alone forever, it was nice to be in the cosy convoy at last, protected by the Paras. We all made it to the TFA5000 site, the Americans were directing traffic on the roundabout. It was a freezing cold, misty morning, like something out of a war movie.
We arrived safely, I wanted brekky but just slept and slept. I woke at midnight and chatted with the guard - a military girl who was wearing double coats and clothing because she had double influenza and she was doing guard duty in -5degC, FFS! Respect!
I joined the marines to turn my life around because I fucked up so much growing up. With all the noise on social media now a days fake news fake influencers, it’s refreshing hearing your authentic story. You remind me of rich piana when he was still with us. I hope you keep pushing content because this next generation needs to hear your message. They’re doomed without your wisdom
We'll keep it improving and keep it real
Much respect! I'm a Canadian vet. My friend joined the Légion étrangère after his discharged from the Canadian military. I always had so much respect for him and taking his life back. Continue de mettre du contenu comme cela sur RUclips, tres pertinent!
Quebec Beauceron here. Canada 🇨🇦
Sir, I think your going to help so many young people by telling your story. Everyone makes mistakes in life. That's ok. Taking responsibility and not allowing yourself to continue making bad decisions shows maturity, discipline and commitment.
You got this.
You’ve got me hooked enough to keep watching… The sole reason: PERSONAL ACCOUNTABILITY
That’s an honorable trait for a man to have. Good job! 👏🏼👍🏼🇺🇸
Awesome to see your growing follower numbers! One thing that is lost to most of your viewers is the significance of what you lost from leaving the teams. Only those who went through the journey truly appreciate and know what it took to earn that trident.
That's what's up bro. Damn that's heavy.
Anyone else getting Wes Watson vibes....
Anyone that likes or comments on this post. 99% wouldn't even get past the 1st March in basic training. These dudes are the hardest on the planet.
Yeah Wes Watson 😂
Nope
I wasn’t sure what to expect from these, but I listened. And the thing that came through so clearly was the honesty. Massive respect for sharing the backstory, owning it, and your message of taking responsibility for your life. God bless brother.
Thanks for listening
Here's a question for you mate: In video 2 you explain how you can be waiting 2-3 years to get your passport back to visit home. Do you get your cell phone while in the FFL so you can text or call home whenever you want or do they completely strip you of anything to do with the outside world with only authorized calls from them?
During the initial 5 months you dont have your phone. You get the phone back (with no SIM) when you get out of bootcamp.
@@tcavofficial fuck, I thought that might be the way they done things. It definitely seems a whole new beast from any other western world military. I’ve heard once you’ve done your 5 years, when you’re a pensioner, you can go to an old folks home on an old vineyard for free solely for ex legionnaires, is that true?
I've watched a few videos and I was hooked so I subscribed. I love this no BS approach. I think your channel is going to rapidly increase in popularity.
I appreciate that!
I just discovered your videos, here, today, in Texas, at 11:43 p.m., on Tuesday, October 10th. Your story is gripping. Enjoy learning more about the French foreign legion but it's your personal stories that really gets me. Basically saying don't just talk about what you're going to do but go do it. Own it. Get it done. 1000% right.
My man! U know we love Texas man. Lotta good homies from the Lone Star. Welcome to the journey and the lessons along the way🤙🏼
After watching your videos, I’ve realized that the process of joining the Legion is more than simply a process, it’s a metaphor for life change. Walking through a single door, handing over your passport, stripped of all worldly possessions and your identity. Saying farewell to your loved ones and your past. What you’re left with is what’s on your back and what’s in your heart, allowing you to rediscover who you truly are.
Twice in my life I’ve been stripped down to the utter necessities and had to face abrupt circumstances, it’s in those moments that true growth are possible. Truly inspiration story. Such candor and insight. Good luck and keep us posted.
Big respect to you brother. I got a similar story like you and I know how hard it was for you. I made a great decision and I left my country 16 years ago when I been drinking a taking some drugs. I felt very down and I wanted to end my life. Now no alcohol and drugs for 16 years and I feel so good and I'm fit and loving my life. You making a great videos and I love your story. Good luck to you🙏
as a US Marine there are only two organization that I admire the most is the French foreign Legion and the Gurkha's. this is due to the sheer determination of the individual willing to sacrifice everything and anything to get considered and look forward to the months and perhaps years of hardship before they are truly accepted into their unit.
I think the IDF are pretty BA and probably the best in the world.
@@AmericaineAParis The IDF cant even control a 2 kilometer rectangle called Gaza LOL
Respect for this move man.
it takes balls to put a man's ego aside and move on like that!
Keep going man!
Master story teller and a damn good human being. Love this guy.
Damn bro thank you🤙🏼
Dude your a breath of fresh air for a lot of people who need it. With your no bs approach and captivating stories your gonna do a lot of good for people. Excited to see where your channel goes.
I appreciate that
Religion is a man made system. The God of Abraham ,Isaac and Jacob wants only a relationship with you. It’s very simple and free.
Peace my brother 👊🏻👍
Good shit man. I went through the same shit when I started my journey to the military. Not only did it save my life, but it turned into a hell of a career. btw, your a military Wes Watson.
Ditto regarding Wes.

Congrats !
The legion is I think the only institution to offer a second chance, and you took it !
Proud to welcome you home.
Sir can I ask how many pull ups you did on that pivotal day in your life(?)
Im guessing like 20+ maybe 15 at least given his background
Fellow US veteran working in Germany. Very real statement about working in an environment where no one has that home feeling or patriotic sense and you like your in a cold place. But, growth surely comes from discomfort.
Fu*king drugs and alcohol man. They really mess life up.
Don’t know what the rules are but I feel like you could create a pretty big YT following if you can continue to make videos.
The way you communicate, stripped of any empty words or bullshit, is captivating. Principles hardened like steel.
Laconic is the only way.👊🏼
Having a Navy SEAL patrolling around my city for several years seemed a little overqualified 😅 Their loss
Great Fun hearing your stories with your enthusiasm and humor..make this old warrior wish I was 34 again😉💯
I will add that your references to own your actions and make command decisions instead of seeking someone to do it for you..is always acenduring message!!!
Well Done !

I love stories like this! I know the feeling of losing everything brother, and having a gun to your head, then pulling yourself out and deciding to make it happen. I should make a video of my story. I went from literally being told from my rear D commander I was gonna be flipping burgers the rest of my life, to owning multiple businesses, having an amazing wife and 5 beautiful kids.
Good work bro

Your interesting story, go from highs to lows to highs,,do your service in the FFL , and when you finish your service, get it all down in a book , and it will be a best seller, take as many photos as u can and integrate into your book..,great respect to you ...United Kingdom
👊🏼
Can I ask what accommodation is like? It looks like you have your own room? But I heard you’re mostly bunking
Some people just don’t know the rock bottom feeling of “shit I gotta do something different”. Now most don’t go to the lengths you have but victory looks different for everyone. Stacking wins and adding chapters to the book of you is what life is all about. Keep killing it my guy. All the love Out here.
Dude the way you explained your trip with that military voice and description of the scenario your body motions and willingness to keep going I was able to imagine the whole thing it was like reading a book thank you man.
Difficult diving into it and sharing but I strive to communicate it effectively. Thank u
How old were you when you went French Foreign Legion? I'm a prior service Marine (Machine Gunner) that got an OTH from the Marine Corps for pissing hot after 14 years in the service. I'm 42 now, I ended up doing construction and unfortunately gotten addicted to benzos over the last few years. I'm kicking my addiction now for the last 3 weeks but my marriage just ended and wife got custody of my 3 kids. She's going back to her country in Brazil with my children. I'm done man, I need something back in my life I have nothing. I miss the comradery of the service. Will the French Foreign Legion take an old guy salty Dog with an OTH on my DD 214? I've remained in top shape and can bang out 12.5 minutes on a 2 mile run. I can still bang out a 5 mile run in 33 mins.
Brother the Legion is 39 1/2 cutoff. Stay focused on the immediate and turn yourself back into your savage disciplined self. Email me brother: tcavofficial@gmail.com

Remember, inside you will ALWAYS be an addict. Don’t put yourself in the position or company that will you allow the opportunity to fuck up again. God be with you.
You are a hell of a story teller man. You’d get a truckload of hippies to sign up for The Legion with this tone. C’est un honneur pour mon pays de t’avoir reçu dans la Légion.
😂🤙🏼
"If we could see the future we'd be FUCKIN terrified." - such a good point. Everybody thinks if they could see the future it would be some sort of benefit...but man, I never thought about it like this. All the death, the hard shit you have to go through, etc... great point.
KEEP THESE VIDEOS UP!!! This is such a new and refreshing type of content - nobody talks about the Legion like this, from what seems to be the inside. I'm already hooked, brother.
More on deck brother EVERY Monday and Thursday. Gunna stay leanin into this truth👌🏼
Taylor can you make a video and discuss what happens if you die in legion? They send your body home or what? Kinda morbid, but just curious.
Thanks man , love the channel!
👌🏼
Were you going through physical withdrawals from the xanax and opioids?
No, i had kicked the opioids before I arrived in France.
If you can stay off pills and alcohol you will be fine. I'm rooting for you man

“If we could see the future we would be f#cling terrified.” It’s often true that the trial we go through to achieve things in life would turn us away if we had foresight.
I decided to post your last two videos to my Facebook because they send a message about being motivated, and not giving up on yourself even if you find yourself mired in a dark place. Maybe your story will be that kick in the ass someone else may need.
There is a difference in knowing you're in a dark place, and taking the first step to get out of that world of shit.
Keep on getting up in the morning and walking that walk all the way.
Sir, I discovered your channel a few days ago, immediately subscribed. Now I'm watching this video and your subscribers went like 10x. I love your approach and insights, and apparently I am not the only one. Respect sir, from the Netherlands.
I considered joining the legion in 1996 after I got destroyed in family court. I just couldn’t leave my Sons. I dealt with the consequences and pain. In the end I regained custody of my Sons. Some things are worth the struggle. Semper Fi.
So what is next?
Get your French citizenship? Even if you do not want it now you might be glad you have it 30+ years. What does it hurt to try?
Are you going to reup?
After 8 years doesn't the Legion help (and pay for) your civilian profession? Seems like a good deal.
Who knows maybe you meet a french girl, settle down have a family and years and years from now nobody believes the shit you went through as a young man.
Adderall. I trained my body to stay up 5 days at a time and sleep 36 hours straight without noticeable damage. Luckily i was an athlete or id be fucked. That's me afraid of the reality we live in, but I never fear death. To me, its the door to the next rip. The Spirit never dies as the cycle repeats. Thanks for sharing!
Bro, you're going to blow up. when you're done with your contract come back state side get 100% VA, and start a pod cast to motivate young men who are going to replace us on the wall. Good stuff bro.
I love your story of hubris and out of control behavior to gratitude and sobriety is powerful. Your description is your own, yet so familiar. Congratulations man. This is great stuff.
Its sad yo see you relapsing
I love his French accent!
11b b4 2nd battle of fallujah vet. I'm living the life u lived after u got out.. If I wasn't probably too old now it'd be a good idea for me to try out for the same route as u. You're a legend, keep on moving forward!
You got this!
Pay attention EVERYBODY! It’s never over until it’s OVER!
Marine vet here..Again, great testimony. There just comes a time in life where money and things don't mean a damn thing. Myself and others, i'm sure are past the age to take that journey into the French Foreign Legion, but there are other options to grow. Sometimes in order to gain, we have to leave behind everything we know. No seminar, book or DVD IOHO will teach one to go through and survive adversity but actually going through it. Thanks for sharing!
Randomly saw episode 3 of your road trip to goat fuck, and I’m thinking, this mothafucka is wild… out of fuckin control but I dig it… because you sound a lot like me… I recall once upon a time I contemplated going FFL but I stayed the path. Solid fuckin story brother. I appreciate your bravery of sharing your story so far. I plan to listen to the remainder of your fuckery and I’m taking notes. Respect to you.
That's def what it was! Lol. Glad to have you bro
Plz keep these going even when you think youre done

really enjoying your story. when i watch you i get a lot of Wes Watson vibes from GP- Penitentiary. I don't mean that in any negative way. He also owned is bad situations of his past and turned it around. Its cool listening to you guys.

Impressive story. Even as a French, stepping into Foreign Legion is something that would be very impressive. I can't imagine how much courage it took coming from the US and having no alternatives. I like the way you tell it. It took me years to understand what you sum up in one sentence and is the key of your speech : "When you're serious about something, shut the fuck up and do it". And I like to think legion have helped you think straight. And forget about the drug crap. (They have their way to make you understand clearly what they think about it) I've met legionnaires when I was in French air force. The main quality I would put on them is honesty. It's hard, but you're never lied to. Hope it will help you get a new and good life as I feel you deserve. Good luck. Tiens, voilà du boudin ! :-)
Someone went to the Wes Watson school of RUclips videos... Looking forward to the rest of this story. The contrast between the Teams and the Legion (training & operations). The U.S. is foolish for not having a Foreign Legion. If the French Legion was able to attract a SEAL, we could attract Danish Jaegers, German KSK, Russian Spetznas, etc. Top U.S. units already cross-train with other Tier1&2 units, but an entire company of these guys mixed in, would be interesting.
-kin 'ell, can you imagine.....?!
I’m impressed how you can be so, how do I say self strong looking! But you can’t run your own life! If that makes any sense!??
When you gonna talk about going fromjail to the seals?
That's comin bro on a future vid I got it on deck!👊🏼
learning french, no gear and coming off xanax. thats rough
Brutal😆
Almost got in trouble for pissing hot in the Corps back in 2006, i learned about the FFL through some friends and did the research, my plan was to go to Paris and knock on the doors, i didnt have to go, got to finish my enlistment, ended with a tour in Afghanistan in 2009

This journey you’ve taken and the stories you’re sharing gave me addicted for more. Thanks again, bro.
More to follow❗️
You got a subscriber out of me. I’m an O3 and company CO in the US army and wish I hade troops like you in my command. The new generation of privates are weak, emotionally weak and woke. I have a few good NCO’s that are Iraq-afghan vets like me. If you leave the legion get in touch with me if you want some US army time. We need troops like you in the US military. We can get you enlisted under a waiver programme.
Bro love the transformer line
Awsome just awsome...seek out the Lord for guidance and he'll take care of you. 🙏☦️🤝🏻
I was my own worse enemy from moving forward in my life I can completely relate I'm positive everybody has had they're moments some obviously worse than others
Story is too common let's re-write the script👊🏼
This story needs to be a Netflix documentary, Hollywood movie or something. This guy is the real deal and a.....awesome badass. But unlike many badasses he is also humble and real.
I was just thinking the same thing. Make the movie, well, and the book, I guess, this True story. You can break it up into parts, like chapters, like these videos, you, you've almost got the complete movie right here. 👍
very interesting story I've never heard of the french foreign legion before this. Thank you for your service and honesty. Good wisdom too: if you are serious about something. dont tell anybody, just do it. I would like to tell that the God you know exists has a name. His name is Yahweh and through Christ we all can know Him personally. He is the only friend that will never leave. "If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there." Psalm 139:8. It sounds like He was there in France with you
It kind of sounds like the devil had you and GOD stepped in and freed you from his grip. GOD NEEDS MEN LIKE YOU KEEP YOUR HEAD AND HEART ON GOD AND EVERYTHING ELSE WILL WORK OUT
Subscribed look forward to more storytimes man great content keep it up and don't be afraid to make the videos a little longer here and there :)
'There are more things in heaven and earth than can be dream't of in your philosophy horatio' never did Shakespeare write truer words. Your philosophy is sound brother! Stick to it!
Honneur et Respect a toi ! et a tes fréres d armes. like many said : you are an exemple for many ( not only young peoples ).
God bless you and your Familly.
thank you for your words of wisdom and experience it really puts things in perspective. you are a wise warrior blessed with experience in life. i was going to the legion in 2020 but covid happened, thankfully i still have savings for the ticket to france that got me through the pandemic. now still saving up hopefully in a year or two i get to knock on those big iron gates at nogent.
Your story is inspirational and kinda like mine in some aspects. I did 3 1/2 years in the Army from 84 to 87. I was stationed in Germany 2/29th FA. I was an ammo driver. But I liked to party too.Of course it got me into trouble as well. Drunk & disorderly, DWI in a 10 ton army truck (HEMTT)
I eventually got popped on a piss test and they gave me a general discharged as well. I'll be 59 in May and my experience tells me that whenever I turn to medicating my problems, eventually problems will arise. Stay clean man, keep your head up snd continue doing the right thing. Greetings from Corpus Christi TX.
When your legion service ends and you want to get back into US military get in touch with me. We can get you enlisted under a waiver program. I’m O3 company CO at ft drum 11B. I’m very serious and can help.
