if u looking to be a badass serving on today's battle front id say ffl is as close as youll ever come

you can take it as kind of "adventure hollidays" ...

trust is a "krasser typ"!

they are independent. they are leased out as mercenaries. basically they get sent in to do the ugly work. Since the FFL is mainly foreigners it means the french govt. doesnt take any political flak when they lose a couple of hundred ffl'rs

Trust is my homebhoy.

Cheers bro. (beer)

keep awake buddy, there maybe someone about to creep up and take you from behind...... WATCH OUT...IT'S JEFF

When I left the Candian Airborne after seven years, I looked at joining the para group of the FFL. I have alot of respect for them. If I didn't meet my future wife before I managed to get over to Paris, I am sure I would be with them now, or with a french grave stone over me.
From what I researched, the officers are not part of the legion. They are attached to legion of course, but they are officers from the French regular forces, who command the FFL troops.
As well, when you join you get a new name and identity papers. After five years, you have two choices with respect to your identity. 1 - go back to your old name before joining, or 2 - keep the FFL name that was provided for you and continue life fresh.
The FFL are truely dedicated to not allowing anyone access to it's personnel regarding previous lives. You are wrapped in an invisible blanket with them, but of course with the expectation that you will most likely die before your five years are completed.
Basic training is done with live fire, and the training is very hands-on. Hazing is at a whole other level with them from what I have heard.

*...or with a french grave stone over me. *

if i`m not wrong, they lost last 5 years 3 or 4 guys. (accidents..not get shoot from enemys.)

*..Basic training is done with live fire, and the training is very hands-on. Hazing is at a whole other level with them from what I have heard.*

of course, they never use blank cartridges, and training is under real fire..but you learn it faster
about hazing, well, its no band camp
i respect all member of the rangers, seals, sas, speznas, ksk and so on ..but believe me or not, the members of the 2rep. are the best trained soldiers in the world, and get shown respect wherever they are.
for example, ivory coast..at first there was regular french army there, a lot european people get killed, 2 hours after 2.rep landed , the riots where over. they have seen the green berets and run away * wonders why..*

crazy shit!

i had training with seals, they are tough.

all special ops are badass! it's one thing to be a great soldier... but to be a great special ops guy... takes a unique individual to make it in.
