3 жыл бұрынFULL MOVIE - GUIANA - This is a very old movie. I gues the language is swedish (and english) with english subtitles. The year must be some like 1995- 1996 or so. I know a lot of the actors. Enjoy .....

I spent time as an Infantryman in the Mountains, Forest, Winter Warfare, Desert, and Jungle. The Jungle was by far the hardest and everything changes from the formations you use, navigation, communications, hygiene, etc.

J.O.T.C. Fort Sherman (Panama)... on night operations... we literally had monkeys bombarding us from the jungle canopy above. They were throwing anything they could find down upon us. One squaddie, at the back of our patrol line, was actually knocked out by a large branch/tree limb (courtesy of one irate jungle monkey).

The indicatif of the Year is (In this movie, like he was so often) the Lieutenant-colonel Hans Eberle (1:01:35) who became 1994 Commandant / Chef de Batallion 3 R.E.I! So the film was made between 1994 and 1996!

You were lucky : I used to know a Korean guy who engaged at the same time as I did as he wanted to do the same as you but they did not let him resign before the end of the 4 months instruction classes that were hell for him. He also wanted to be able to tell his story after a quick return home, but he had to pay a higher price for it than he initially thought. And I think he regreted his tourism attempt a lot in the end.
