Foreign Legion: the Secrets of a Selection

[@biggshow1045]

As an American pmc I was at camp lemonade. Had a bad experience with some locals that tried to take me for money. I was able to rock my way out the window and running down the street carrying my laptop and backpack. A legionare jeep passed me and asked me if I needed a ride. Their were about 5 guys left that were chasing me. The legionares took care of them and saved my butt. Great bunch of guys

It's a lot better today compared when i did it. Government did a heavy crackdown after people died during training and just brutal punishments being thrown around. You had beatings and 2-3 hours of sleep during basics with people hallucinating and what not . We had more than one just breaking and more than one person being sent to a mental felicity. You can train great soldiers without breaking them. Glad to see it has moved forward and i hope it's not just because cameras are around.

I was there in 2017. I only saw beatings when people really fucked up or answered back. Group punishment was still there, but a fist to the stomach once or twice a week really didnt bother me. We had one guy breaking mentally during the farm, but he was shaky from the start. The training is hard, the discipline is hard and, food is scarce and sleep is rare, but everyone but 2 guys in my group finished the Kepi blanc march. I think we had 4-5 hours of sleep every night at the farm, night patrol duty included. It was manageable.

After all this shit then they got a wake up call of note when they reached their combat regiments😂😂 months more of shit they never expected. This is only the first phase of training, basically an intro to drill and basic weapons handling, bit of tactics here and there but nothing too hectic. Once you reach your combat regiment you go through basic training or instruction as they call it. It's also possible to drop out at this stage. But it's much more tactical, you know how to march and how to sing like a knob. Now you go through the different weapons introductions and training. Much more specialised training and they weed you out once again for various specialist courses etc. If you're shit then say hello to the kitchen, if you're good then there some awesome options.

In the US Army the instructors cannot have anything in their hands and play with it, because the distraction it creates. I got gigged on this and for having my hat on the cargo pocket the first day. I also warned the students not to overeat. If anyone fell asleep, they would spent 15 min on the front leaning rest. Of course when I turned my back to them, they would put their knees down and I always made it clear when I was turning, so they can get up and think, they got over on me. Eventually I got their attention and they no longer fell asleep.

Wonder why the South African didn’t join his army there not bad still got good units and special forces

[@notundermywatch3163]

And then he'll be picking boogers out of his noise forever whereas he has better changes to be deployed with the FFL and he sure as hell make a lot more money.

I actually think the translator might just be AI. He/it pronounces "adjutant" as "a joot ent". Very weird.
