Thank you so much for all you do for us! It's my dream to join the French Foreign Legion, I'm training everyday as hard as possible to pass selection. I am concerned about my age however I'm 29 turning 30 by the time I knock on the door I hope so badly to make it as it's all I want in my life to become a solider of the FLL. I'm from South Africa.

human qualities and no prejudice ... true words I still recall as a civvie since the 2001 , meeting an ex sergent 2 Rep , Momo le Morocain ... moi ex caporal chef and english , both lauging , drinking a beer together and talking things very few people could understand . I go into the Arab cité and they leave me in peace because they know my connection with Momo ... freres d’armes

One of the most important things you said was that politicians have NO clue. They never felt the fear of being under fire and running out of ammo because of a logistic foul up. Or weapons that don't work because of cheap designs accepted because a politician wants to help a constituent business. Or what it means to have your life in the hands of someone else and having to trust them.

"Prejudice"...you said it right Mr. Thomas :) Not only are you a wise man, you are a good man and it shows

thomas as you know i was a soldier for 20 years in us army. an nco most of that time. when i went in in 1968 we still had the draft so we were exposed to people not only from all over the us but all differnt life experiences college graduates craftsmen farmer homeless like myself many times a college graduate was subordinate to a highs school dropout because he out ranked the college grad. but we learned from each other recently a man who says he is a retired navy seal i believe he was anyway he made some comments about viet nam i got very angry for the reasons you mentioned here this fellow was onloy a little boy when viet nqm was going i went for a short tour and for 2 full length tours i got very angry when this fellow wanted to pretend he was an expert oj that subject and i said why not shut your dam mouth when you know nothing of what you speelk.. i retired in 1988 before the gulf war i never ran my mouth qbout the middle east war because i never was there i hope he got the understanding that i told him hd didnt earn the right to give advice regarding viet nam i like your message about the human quality i like to call it a positive attitude. i met many men too intelligent to do somethings yet the uneducated could accomplish it easily for they simply did not question everything but follow directions i gave aqnd it got done quickly and as easily as possible whereas the college boy was too dam smart i used to say some people are educated beyond their intelligence.. i still like that saying.. anyway i hope i gave you a little laugh hee and have a good day

Well said Thomas without humility in battle we’re no good 👍 very important pal love from Ireland 🇮🇪

Im really thankful that i found your chanel :) thank you

Adj. Thomas-Words of wisdom from you guide me in my daily life -Non of us can know everything about everything -life (and I/M 63 NOW) -have been to 20+ countries and everyting is the SAME =LOVE /COMPASSION /HELP/DECENCY -HUMILITY -MUCH LOVE TO YOU MY FRIEND --GREAT FELLOW LOL TIMOTHY

Love this channel. It's full of real wisdom. Thanks.

Merci pour votre service.

Honor, fidelity and a good mindset are what makes us different from the ridiculous politicians. There’s a certain pride in wearing the uniform, but a heavy responsibility as well. Wise words from you my brother.

Wise words of the day, again received and understood. I agree when it comes to politicians.. just bullshit, and no good stuff, quite the opposite to you Mon Legionnaire. Thanks for correcting allons giron, I thought I had been singing it wrong! 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

I really like what you said about people commenting on the war in Ukraine, I also like your channel and that you picked my country to move to, I am glad you like it. About the war in Ukraine I don´t know if I have the right to talk about the war, I am nothing but a former homeguard medic, I went to the French Foreign Legion at 18, stayed 1 day then decided to leave, I did 3 months in the International legion of Ukraine in 2022. Keep up the good work Thomas

Big fan glad to hear from you

A rescue swimmer should not have learned his craft on dry land.

Hi The Legionnaire my dad was a Tirailleur Algérien in ww2 from the battle in Belgium in 1940 to the battle in Africa to Monte Cassino and Landing of Provenance up to Germany. All he said when I was asking how was being a soldier in ww2 dad? He’s answer was, son war is misery, people die all around you war is bad.

Thank you for pointing out the difference between politicians and those on the front lines ……. Go there and do that is vastly different from ….. we will go there and do that …….. no person should sen others to a place they have never been .

Greats brother Thomas will you show and teach us what a legionier would us and carry typically and thank you

In 6 days I will arrive at the door in augbangne .. wish me luck

Now that's not fair. I finally found something I could do and I am not allowed because I am a woman. I have to get exonerated. The whole thing was lies anyway. I like your station. Will keep watching.

Kick Ass Legionnaire!!!

What vacancies do they have there or what can you choose to do there?

👍👍👍👍

How does the chain of command work, is it purely managed from the French army command or also EU and US command. Thanks !

what is that song you sang before le boudin?

Thomas, how to be at the top of the class so you can choose a regiment. How could someone without military experience do it?

Keyboard Warriors Never been in the Mud and the Blood!

Hallo. Can you say what happens if you leave the foreign legion before first five years;;;

Would a shoulder replacement surgery disqualify me? The FFL’s website disqualifies for knee problems, but there’s no information about shoulders.

Hello sir in French foregin legion interview they ask from many candidates do you like to masterbed or not we should give a fair answer

What is the longest march and longest run you ever accomplished during your Legionnaires career ?

Sir I want to join the french foreign legion, but I am from south america and don't have money to travel Europe. It is possible to join in the french guyana this 2023?

Hello Thomas, I wanted some advice. I heard that in the legion, your breakfast is some bread and a cup of coffee and nothing else. How did you overcome hunger?

Where are you? Alles gute.

Apakah saya boleh bergabung dg Legion

Hi Thomas can you or anyone tell me if a serious incident were to occur due to gross negligence or misbehaviour and you are questioned by your superiors and the statement you give end up costing your brothers to be disciplined or kicked out of the legion. Would you be seen by your colleagues that you are a snitch or traitor?

I want to go to France from the UK to join the legion I'm ex army , served 2 years 6 months and pissed hot on a cdt and got dhdc will the legion look at this in a bad way or give me a second chance. This was 6 years ago I'm 28 now and want the military structure and adventure in my life again , any advice is appreciated.

I have been preparing for 4 years for French legion, but I did not get visa to France, I told embassy but they rejected me for straight 4 years, today visa is again rejected, I am so depressed didn’t know what to, I waisted four years just to get visa where I’m doing vo2 max at 12, pull ups 20 still, running for 6 mile a day, this is so depressing:

hey Mr Thomas, ive heard FFL dont like muslims and dont accept them and IF they do those persons have a bad time in FFL what can you say about this ?

My life is like a rat in a maze here. I can explain

Sir what's the age limit for joining French GCP commando unit?

I have a black soul too. I never felt white.

Sir please send me a iq question 🙏🏼

you mentioned people from "yugoslavia"...well they are not good everyone there and that country was artificial.that's why now republics there are independent.but in Bosnia is still serious problem.back in the day Bosnia was just a part of our Croatia and now Croats there are suddenly a minority.

Tiens,voila du boudin, voila du boudin, voila du boudin, pour les Alsassiens, les Swisses, et les Laurains, pour les Belges, il y en es peut.

Sir, women can not join. There MUST be roles for women
