French 4 Foreign Legionnaires
Thailand
Приєднався 3 вер 2020
On the 1st of May 1984, instead of re-joining my commando unit in Arbroath, Scotland, I instead went south to start an adventure which would last 17,5 years. Because I was already a trained soldier, I was "asked" to stay on to train the new recruits. After that it was 2 years in the Amazon jungle, when I returned to France I took on a bout of REP FEVER. Next it was 2 years in the desert in Djibouti. The fever had not subsided and I did jumps over there. Then it was back to the REP France, or more precisely Calvi, Corsica.
To begin with, I found it very difficult because of my lack of French. My aim with 'French 4 Foreign Legionnaires' is to prepare you for some of the hardships that you will surely encounter. Thanks to my early days in the legion, I know what you will be going through, together we can make it easier.

France shows off its aircraft carrier to NATO's strike force
The Charles de Gaulle, a French Navy aircraft carrier, set sail from Toulon on April 24th, ready to participate in NATO's "Neptune Strike 2024" in the Mediterranean Sea. It proved its mettle on April 25th, when it exhibited its ability to have jets, helicopters, and AEW&C aircraft take off from and land on its flight deck.
The primary objective of Neptune Strike is to demonstrate the Alliance's capability to combine high-end multinational maritime strike capabilities to defend the Alliance. The French Carrier Strike Group (CSG) is under STRIKFORNATO's command (Naval Striking and Support Forces NATO) for the first time during this activity, highlighting the Alliance's strength and unity.
Neptune Strike 2024 will be held from April 26th to May 10th across the Mediterranean Sea.
The footage will be awe-inspiring, including shots of the carrier navigating through the sea, Rafale M fighters, an E-2C Hawkeye Airborne Early Warning & Control (AEW&C) aircraft, and a Dauphin helicopter taking off from and landing on the carrier. Furthermore, the footage will feature an interview with the Commander of the 11th "Flotille" from the French Navy, who is aboard the Charles de Gaulle.

It's sad that alot of people assume all French Foriegn Legionairs are former criminals, just escaping their crimes. When many are either thrill seekers, veterans looking for a new challenge, or just normal people looking for a new life in the Legion and France itself. I wish the United States had a branch like the Foriegn Legion in our Military. I feel it'd help with alot of our illegal immigrants and non-U.S. Citizens seeking citizenship, if they want it badly enough and don't want to go through the normal American immigration procedures. Put U.S. Marine veteran officers in command of the branch and the training, they'll be the true rivals to the US Marines, not the wannabes in the US Army. Haha.
Che cos'è e a cosa serve quella specie di grembiule?
Hello, thanks for the great video. I’m new to the channel… I don’t speak any French, a few words here and there. Would they expect me to speak French when I first turn up to the recruiting desk?
no, don't worry about the language, although I would recommend that you learn as much as possible before joining
does the french foreign region get the same traning like other GCP members? ?
Yes of course they do
@@French4ForeignLegionnaires but they don't get the patent.
Does the Jaguar turrets have weapons and sensors to defeat flying FPV drones ?
It can fire airburst ammunition up at an angle of 45° so theoretically it could shoot at drones
I don't know
The elite of the legion is still 2meREP
Superb content. Please please consider making videos that applicants and trainees would find useful as they undergo training and take part in operational scenarios! Thanks so much for your hard work, dedication, and helpful content.
J'attendais des oprécisions sur la protection par le blindage: quelle grosseur, quelle protection ? 500 CV... Cela mets quand-même en perspective la force d'une Bugatti Veyron, qui en a 1000.....
Apprend la différence entre chevaux,couple et boite de transfert. Le moteur d'un Jaguar détruit ta Bugatti.
rien d'autres de plus débile ??? 1) les blindages sont souvent classifié 2) niveau 4 stanag 4569 , il faut pas plus de 30 secondes pour avoir l'info , mais bon , une feignasse a toujours besoin de quelqu'un pour avoir l'info !! dit nous , quelle importance le blindage , un T90 russe se fait démolir facilement , et pourtant , il a un blindage bien supérieur , le blindage en 2024 ne sert à pas grand chose , il y aura toujours une arme pour exploser ton blindage , un hammer A2SM 1000 kg fera de ton char super blindé un tas de ferraille exploser , retourner , incendier ! l'A2SM a une précision en mode laser de 1 m , un char est bien plus gros ! c'est quoi le rapport avec une Bugatti Veyron , c'est digne d'un idiot de faire des raccourcis pareils ! ta Veyron , a t-elle un canon de 40 mm , a t-elle un blindage même si tu le trouve trop léger , ta Veyron a t-elle 4 missiles AKERON MMP ? etc .............. je doute que ta Veyron puisse monter une pente de 50% !! fait percuter le Jaguar sur ta Veyron , ta Veyron sera exploser !
This is gold! Any plans on making more lessons like this? Merci beaucoup!

Bonjour Joe, ive got my white hat, served with 2eme inf, its funny how you throw a comrade under the bus so quick, iam ready to die for my brothers, every légionaire is my brother, regardless of their beliefs, there is only a few of us, its just a shame whats it come too.

That’s the british Ajax, same cannon

Love to see the full docu???
That is all that was available, I'm afraid.
J'ai l'impression qu'ils sont obligés de réduire la cadence pour la précision du tir. Je m'interroge sur la cinématique ou les fréquences propres des pièces meca. Je serais curieux de voir le développement ou les essais de l'artillerie.
Merci de ta contribution
@@French4ForeignLegionnaires oui, ça fait penser au frf2 qui était plus précis en rajoutant un réducteur de son en bout du canon, car ca changeait l'équilibrage des masses (= la fréquence de vibration du canon), faut voir la validation de la dga par rapport au dvp de nexter.
@@French4ForeignLegionnairesrectification: sur la vidéo, le canon ne bouge pas. Ca semble parfait. Mais par exemple sur le shilka russe (quadritube antiaerien), la dispersion d'une rafale est énorme, bcp plus que le phalanx américain, mais au contraire, la dispersion augmente la chance de toucher la cible...
Macron la Honte...

Impressive work, French have always best camo, predator is like : wtf?
Thanks for your input,
I was in the 13DB and I chose to get my team leader certificate at the 3rd REI. I loved it so much (it's a lie) that I came back to do the Jaguar course. I failed on the first attempt but I succeeded (barely) the next year. I've never pushed myself so much physically and mentally, I broke myself and came out of the shell as a new man. I owe my sharp mind, my whole mindset, to the Legion. Legio Patria Nostrum ! More Majorum !

Very good report, amazing I have some question, there is a age limit for gcp selection? And glasses are a problem? I have a little Myopie, not much , this is a elimitation reason? Thank you
Yes and yes
@@French4ForeignLegionnairesWhat's the age limit?
17.5 (with parent or guardian's written consent) to 39.5
@@French4ForeignLegionnaires amd What are the limitations when it came to wearing glasses? I mean, no person with glasses is accepted?
I would go do this but I am above their age requirements. Im former special operations in the US military and special government work. Special Operations Training Group instructors as well I’m still in tremendous shape. I should have left America earlier but I had to take care of family. Id leave to do this now if they didn’t worry about age and it was on performance. I still ruck run in the sand easy. No warrior becomes fat and loses his tactical proficiency
So are you going to give the legion a try?
@@French4ForeignLegionnaires bro I’d sell me house and be out there before summer. The silly age limit requirement is my obstacle not my body or TTP proficiency.
I'm sorry to hear that.
Great channel! I've subscribed and will watch! Happy Christmas and Happy New Year!
thanks very much, mate.
It's more of a leisurely stroll, really, isn't it?

Whats the final cost of this war machine?
I have no idea, but I'd say that it did not come cheap.
@@French4ForeignLegionnaires lol I heard about 7 millions euros
€6 million (FY2019) €5 million (FY2022)
Of course it is not .This pretty machine is armed with latest state of the art armament and equipment it is same armament as a modern IFV so its price is close to VBCI II which instead of 6X6 is 8X8 and have enough capacity to carry an infnatry rifle squad @@French4ForeignLegionnaires
And the price of course varies depending on the number one buys. Belgium bought 60 of them.
How long is the training Can a legionaire join And whats the difference between gcm and gcp
Hi, I don't know how long the training lasts, but it would be over several months. Corporal minimum. GCM are mountain and GCP are more the equivalent to the British pathfinders. GCM did not exist in my day (in fact GCP was called CRAPs back when I was in the REP). So, I'm afraid that I can't really help you out on that one.
@@French4ForeignLegionnaires ok thank yaa 😁👍🏿
Yes a légionnaire can join. He has to be a corporal first. He then has to the selection test to get into the GCM of 2REG. The GCM are the commandos of the Mountain brigade. So all Mountain regiments have GCM teams. Once they have finished their training they can all work together as they have in different areas of the world.
Ce n’est pas la légion étrangère, ça c’est l’armée de terre
C'est vraie, bravo. Bien vu
