2eme REP...this have been the days.

[lastchance20101]

Why was this comment removed??

@Klvavite: Um yes, there are images of 6 REG in this presentation:

1m22sec: 6REG, 1 CIE beach mine clearing

1m32sec: 6REG DINOPS in Kayak

2m32sec: 6REG, 1 CIE providing security for mine clearing

2m42sec: 6REG 1CIE boat patrol

All these pictures were taken by photographer Jose Nicolas at Lac de Codolet near the 6 REG (now called 1 REG) base.

You guys that have no idea what you are talking about, don't chime in as you have nothing to add.

[LoveMyMuzik]

Do All 2 Rep Soldiers do Freefall Parachuting as well or is that only certain companys

[legionpara61]

Nous sommes les hommes des troupes d´ássaut,Soldats de la veille Légion

Demain brandissant nos drapeaux,En vanqueurs nous defilerons.

Nous n´avons pas seulements des armes,Mais le Diable marche avec nouc, Ha, ha, ha ,ha,ha Cas nos ainés de la Legion,Se battant la-bas,nous emboitons le pas.....

2 eme REP dans mon coeur

[daffydude84]

what song is it?

[deadjailorrocknroll]

no, your wrong. the crap is the group within the group.

[cal90064]

No its not. CRAP is the old name. It was changed to GCP in the late 90s.

[TristanTheSaint]

@deadjailorrocknroll

I would tend to agree with you, this is more or less what happened in the 13RDP and I doubt the 2REP was any different.

On the other hand I was in the army a long time ago and left more or less at the time they created the COS... so maybe they merged CRAP and GPC: which does not make sense to me from what I know of both kind of units and their purpose.

[cal90064]

Well then you're both wrong. Look it up.

[startwiththeballs]

@TristanTheSaint, they renamed to GCP, group commando parachutist

[deadjailorrocknroll]

yeas, and they are called C.R.A.P.

[cal90064]

They haven't called the CRAP for like 10 years. Its called GCP now, read below

[MattyKB]

not really SF, their airborne is just like anyone elses but all get HALO qualified

[cal90064]

Only GCP got HALO qualled before, not all of 2 REP. GCP also gets a higher level of training. DIN gets airborne and closed circuit qualled. Some considered them Spec Ops before.

[R3dVlad]

GCP / 2-Rep

[davyRS6]

message pour "adcsoa" !ne raconte pas de conneries s'il te plait ! avec ta programmation robotique a l'arme blanche ! tu insultes les hommes du cos qui sont de loin les plus opérationnels ! les commando hubert sont a la fois chuteurs ops et nageurs de combats ! alors métrise ton sujet ! d'autre part un ami a moi ex 2eme rep lui meme reconnais des commandos hubert que se sont les meilleurs !

[cal90064]

CRAP hasn't exsisted in the Legion for years. Its called GCP now. And the kayak pic and the wetsuit pics are the former 6REG, 1ere CIE with DIN. Nice transitions though

[Kivavite13]

@cal90064 NO NOT 6 RE... 2 REP 3 CIE AMPHIBIAN THEY ARRIVED AT THE CENTER AMPHIBIE IN 1995

[Octavian69]

respect FFL...i'm starting my basic training in almost one week...

[nercrom]

Well the FFL is basically a para shock force. You'll notice that almost all of them wear para wings on the right side above the breast pocket. It seems as if all legionnaires do para training at some point in their careers. Some of these guys even do their own spez ops training, known as LES CRAP. Its their counter terrorist unit. but basically, they are are a self relaint force, who has all services and support units within thier own corps.

[shargor]

All legionnaires are required to take parachute jumping training.

[cal90064]

Naw, I think still its just 2REP and DIN do jump school. There are a few exceptions though, but the standard legionnaire does not go to jump school.

[angele74500]

mon copain est ds la legion et i me mank grave jtm grav et fierté a toi je taime plus que tout

[PARATROOPER88]

why do you ask that mate?

[fredlelyonnais]

The Foreign Legion is not a special forces unit, it is a Shock/Assault brigade.

The French special forces (COS)are made with two other units of the French armies :

The 1rst Marine Infantry Paratroopers Regiment

The 13th Dragoon Paratroopers Regiment

Plus The 10th Marine Commandos Unit

And some other specialised units

The Foreign Legion is a well trained and efficient combat corps, but the real tough guys are in the COS = Commandement des Operations Speciales.

[adcsoa]

Oui, mais au niveau du mental, nous sommes 10x supérieur à toute unité du COS.

C'et là oû réside notre force-légion.

Et quand tu escalades une colline sur laquelle vont se jouer des combats à l'arme blanche, c'est ta programmation "robotique" qui fera la différence.

Donc pas trop de ronflant stp avec tes COS qui, bien que complets, n'ont pas cet attachement viscéral qu'à le légionnaire a sa parole donnée.

[jsoholt]

excuse me, but it seems to me that the last war that any French troops really got involved with, was the Algerian war.

So how come that I seem to remember forever rescuing French regular troups in trouble?

There was no COS whatsoever, only scared conscripts getting rescued by legionnaires.

Why don't you smarten up your uniforms to start with, and try to look like soldiers at least. I was there and I saw you, asshole.

[franckdanielknives]

legio patria nostra go

[laxmaster60]

haha, im 13 and i wana join the legion its my dream :)

[SlGRlD]

lol you guys should.

[xAndyBelfastx]

don't inspirate younger lads whenver u havnt even been in the Legion. If a man feels its for him, then go for it.

[smellybridges]

if i fail my exams im joining

[IamDaReAlSeaN]

im joining anyway!!

[tomkinson]

Can anyone answer a question. Are those old photos or are these guys really still using round parachutes? Most videos on GCP are round shoots rather then new modern RAM air ones. Are the old pics or is that what they use?

[Daniel192655]

They use both, but for training purposes the rounded chutes are mostly used.

Legio Patria Nostra

[SlGRlD]

the rounded ones are mostly used though

[TristanTheSaint]

@SlGRlD

Yup round ones for low altitude (~80 meters) jumping : thats how the 2Rep put the whole regiment on the ground in couple of minutes O_O

I never did or saw this kind of jump performed but the person that told me so did that in Kolwezi, he was the first man to jump there (and is (was?) a general in the legion)

[sidimba]

@TristanTheSaint you are right / so be it /and forget about this/all the best wishes /good blessed you

[IamDaReAlSeaN]

i aspire to be part of that bortherhood . these guys are the toughest sons of guns IN THE WORLD BAR NONE!

[chiamara75]

pour mon Père ... commando dans la légion étrangère , chez les paras , je l'adore maintenant , mais j'en ai beaucoup souffert avant parce qu'il était très dur , mais maintenant je comprends mieux ... pardon de ne pas avoir compris ton message .

[watisna]

[Boudabang]

Vive la legion! Legio Patria Nostra!

Devenir legionnaire un jour c rester legionnaire toujours.
