@15230 Ah marine, figures, you know there's other units out there that make the marines look like little girls. It's a fact of the life, the marines aren't the begin all, end all of the military.
@TheBardicDruid USMC, we fight for the US. We are not run away criminals dodging the law like 70% of Legionaires. Thats why they treat them like Dogs because they are not French and most likely Criminals. If you like this shit Sign The Muther Fuckin Contract.
@15230 I've been in sticky situations with US Army, USMC, Navy, and several foreign units. And sorry to break your heart but the USMC isn't all that special, their just another bunch of grunts just like the rest.
@15230 OO-RAH! Long live the Queen of Battle. Glad to see this. God & I love the truck drivers, but to BE one? Nooooo. Gropos get it done (if the gd gov't would let us).
Does 2REP have to do this shit or do they do different training? Because I want to join 2REP. Hopefully ill be in the FFL in around two years once I finish school and get fit enough.
@bushpigification i think that all legion troops have training course in jungle i think it is 6 weeks,and alsow desert training course in Jibouti,and mountain course in French Alpes,but some units are specialized for some tipe of warfare like 3 REI is for jungle or 13 DBLE is for desert but all of them have chrash courses outside of thers specialization.And 2 REP is considhered most elite regiment so they probably have those kind of courses.
les pauvres^^ se déguiser en nanas faut le faire, c'est ce que j'aime chez eux, ils se prennent pas aux sérieux même si ils le pouvaient, vive la legion étrangère!!
ffl pretty bad ass for all the shit they put up with in the obstacle courses but this training looks next to poinless compared to sas's jungle training stint apart from being able to put up with hardships of obstacle courses all day
@Langalino That's only one part of the training in the metal war imposed to new recruits to make them flinch, if they don't, they'll go on to do more purposeful things...
Im not French or American. But just wanted to point out he said the fastest and slowest times. Didnt say there was another group of marines who had done it etc. mabey that group were just being lazy. i dont know. just thought id point that out
@dynamicz108 Once...just one small time, say something similar to a Marine or Infantry. See what occurs. If you were too busy, in school, "couldn't take orders", or whatever chicken$#@& reason to avoid joining when u were younger, piss off. Not "heros," just men & women, but they stood up. Where are you?
legion etrangere is the best,i am albanian so i am not french,being albanian allows me to join and this is my intention,i am 20,when i reach 25 i become a legionaire,what do ya think ppl?
French can join the FFL. They merely "change" their nationality on their initial 5-year enlistment contract. They'll claim they are from Belgium, Switzerland or are French-Canadian.
I talked to a US marine and asked him who is the best. I mentioned the Royal Marines and he said NO the French foreign legion is the toughest he has seen.

For every one battle the USMC lost they have won 10 from WW1 to present. The Corps are not special forces they are shock troops. Don't talk to much trash... after the roman empire Italy has been pimp slapped by everyone they have come up against. Even the Ethopians kicked the crap out of you during WW2
The Roman Empire lasted for 2000 years, compared to it the Commonwealth has been nothing but the blink of an eye and the modern "American Empire" is nothing at all. Italy WON WW1 and during the middle ages the italian City States were powerful: Venice ruled the mediterranean sea for centuries...
...Italy wasn't prepared for WW2, that's true. That was one of Mussolini's greatest mistakes, but some italian troops fought very well despite their dramatic lack of issues: the Alpini in Russia, the Folgore paratroopers in Africa and the famous "X MAS" frogmen for example.
that always depends on WHERE you see them. They look skilled in jungle-warfare, but who do you think would've done better in winter-warfare of ffl and for example hsk of norway? Just saying. All are tough in their own enviroment
they do train in the winter in a northern country too...they train in all types of environment....they even set them out to the desert too....so they get tough survival tips on every terrain
whoever doubts there toughness of these men and the rigour of their training is a dummy and probaly couldnt survive boot camp in the salvation army much less then elite infantry like the legion and 101 AIRBORNE

@ blidderbla, the high drop out rate is because majority of french men are pussies and can't take easy training. No one can take USMC or Navy Seals training, and I also must give props to the Spetsnaz because they are some tough ass boys too. USA still reigns supreme. Looks like if France gets in another war that the USA will have to bail them out AGAIN, just like in WW2, PATHETIC!
The French are allowed to join, but because of some tradition the recruit is asked to sign a contract with an 'adopted' nationality and name change. After 12 months they can 'regularise' their paperwork and assume their true name and nationality.
What you are saying is idiotic, Us always wants to measure dick and want to be in every conflict for control, Us are pathetic idiots that only wants to control the world. Without their nukes Us and worth shit.
@thegunsareback how did u serve 2 years,first contract is 5 years and then after that initial contract only then u can sign 6 months contracs,but first one is 5 years.Only way to get out after two years alive of course is either to suffer some heavy injury,or to get some seriouse health problems that will prevent u to do tasks u are asked to do in legion.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I was thinkin of starting training to see if I should bother going over to join but this is all a bit homosexual for me. Whats the deal with the cross dressing? anyone know
Not homosexual dude. One of the best parts of being in any military is the "esprit de corps" you build with your brothers in arms. This is just one of the many strange traditions you'll find in any military unit to that end. In this case I imagine that it humbles the officers a little bit, humanizes them in the eyes of the troops. Plus its a chance to get shitfaced and laugh at each other. Don't take it too seriously. Try crossing the equator on a Navy ship sometime, strange stuff there.
It's only a once a year thing each January called "Fete de rois".
It's a tradition of the officers inviting the NCO's to their mess for New Years wishes and an alcohol induced fancy dress and buffet.
The morning starts with a football game (Soccer) of 11 vs 11, this degenerates into a mass scrum of Officers outnumbered on one side with NCO's on the other.
Next stop Officers mess, with 20 or so picked for fancy dress following a protocol depending on regimental functions & rank.
I get that it's not gay bro. I was actually trying to explain the strange behaviour inherent to military culture to the guy who said it was gay. One of those things that if a guy isn't a part of it, he ain't gonna understand.
@dusty8512 , I think they've imposed a bunch of PC regulations now so it's not as interesting. I crossed and beame a "Trusty Shellback" in about '91 and it was an experience for sure. It is the only time I know of when rank means nothing. An Army Colonel went through it with us and I give him credit, he actually seemed to enjoy himself.
i still have my grandfathers trusty shellback card he recieved after wog day in 1944...pretty cool...it looks almost like my cousins..he got his in 2002.
@RAIZEDBYWOLVEZ That's cool man. One thing about the Navy is that they're real big on tradition. There's a bunch of them but crossing the equator is the most memorable for me
lol for all those who think that the army of their country is better than the legion (mostly americans).i'll tell you now that i serve in one of the NATO countries, which means the training standard that i am familiar with is close to all other NATO countries. and its NOTHING compared to this. (i am talkin conventional units,SF is a diff story)
well the regualr british army infantry regiments have 24 weeks basic training, for paras and marines its 32 weeks. the ffl is 15 weeks exactly the same as the regular french army, it even states on their website that the training is EXACTLY the same as the regular french army.
It has to be exactly the same as the French regulars because of budget restrictions.
The FFL can't say "we have to teach our lads French" as an excuse, as thats not viable. Once affected to their operational regiments, Legionnaires receive complimentary training depending on their speciality. As in any job, there is continuous assessments and training over the career.
@martgonzo basic training,but this is not basic training,u first go thru basic training and then on results u show on that training an depending of legion demand u get deployed to diferent regiment.This ppl have all passed basic training and got deployed in 3 REI,it is clearly said in first part of movie.This is begining of specialization training and conditioning for jungle warfare wich is specialization of 3 REI,this is not basic training at all.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
listen dickhead, i served with 40 cdo rm for four years and did two years with 2nd rep legion ertranger, the legion is a fucking joke, fuck knows what nato country you serve with but believe me its a joke the legion, i dare you to ask me what im talking about
People who write stupid comments such as "weak bastards", "russian soldiers would beat the crap out of them i five minutes" etc. don't have a slightest clue what they're talking about, neither do they know how hard the FFL is, especially the joungle course. These soldiers are all extremely hard to have come this far, and they all have my respect!
A really awesome series. All are very realistic, nothing added for the cameras here, folks. They are a tough bunch. Choosing a life such as this...you become hardened pretty fast. No, I'm not an ex-Legionare, I've only had the privledge to have trained at one of their Commando Schools...and this was nothing shy of a shit kicking, let me be that blunt and honest. They have my respect and admiration. If I were young and fresh out of school again, without any map in life...it'd be an awesome.
Glad you all enjoyed the show and glad to see the war of meaningless words that plagued the comments on the previous clips finally dried up. I am amazed my comment on the visiting Marines caused such a stir. I was only repeating something I'd been told, not something I had any hard proof on. I would never allow myself to critise any army, any soldier. Anyone who has served his (or her) time in any army deserves our admiration.
this is x100 times suckier than my military trainin.. I am shocked that they put very little emphasis on safety. V dangerous, their training! Basically they rox!
I'm not suprised by the lack of comments by people like that at this end of the videos. Those types of people think they have the stamina too complete a course such as that of the FFL, yet they don't have the attention span too watch five videos. After watching five minutes of video or documentary, or read the first five pages of a book on any subject they think that they know everything...

I'm not suprised by the lack of comments by people like that at this end of the videos. Those types of people think they have the stamina too complete a course such as that of the FFL, yet they don't have the attention span too watch five videos. After watching five minutes of video or documentary, or read the first five pages of a book on any subject they think that they know everything...
