  Old soldiers in their 70s, from countries that may no longer exist, sit together drinking wine and singing the Army march under the Mediterranean sun. [<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Y0M2lexUbc&amp;t=1045">17:25</a>]

  After 1945 many SS men ended up in the French Foreign Legion as an alternative to being prosecuted for war crimes and many of them turned out to be very good soldiers.

  After 2-3 years, Legionnaires can revert to using their given name if they so choose. &nbsp;The process is called &quot;rectification.&quot;

  There is so much wrong, while you can find the information about it. So, let&apos;s start. <br>[<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Y0M2lexUbc&amp;t=5">0:05</a>] When entering Fort de Nogent, you have to do pull ups.. <br>[<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Y0M2lexUbc&amp;t=164">2:44</a>] They do care about crimes, petty theft: no problem, bigger crimes, that can cause problems, <br>[<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Y0M2lexUbc&amp;t=220">3:40</a>] The declared identity (Anonymat) is not mandatory. <br>[<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Y0M2lexUbc&amp;t=264">4:24</a>] The first four weeks: on the Ferme, or farm. <br>[<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Y0M2lexUbc&amp;t=295">4:55</a>] The 88 steps/minutes came from the Hohenlohe regiment, one of the ancestor regiments of the Foreign Legion. <br>[<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Y0M2lexUbc&amp;t=320">5:20</a>] You get French lessons and learn it also throught the songs and being coupled with a &nbsp;French speaking binome or buddy.<br>[<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Y0M2lexUbc&amp;t=341">5:41</a>] Your instructros are not senior NCO, but atleast caporal and sergeants. <br>[<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Y0M2lexUbc&amp;t=415">6:55</a>] The Marche Kepi Blanc, after the first four weeks, of training. No, the commanding officer doesn&apos;t place the kepi on your head.. you do it your self, under while shouting Legio Patria Nostra. and the marche it self is 70 km.<br>[<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Y0M2lexUbc&amp;t=487">8:07</a>] 13 DBLE left Djibouti in 2011, and these days, it is garrisoned in Aveyron.<br>[<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Y0M2lexUbc&amp;t=510">8:30</a>] and you patrol the perimiter of the space center..<br>[<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Y0M2lexUbc&amp;t=595">9:55</a>] Promotion to 1ere class, after around 7 month normally, and is not based on how you behave. <br>[<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Y0M2lexUbc&amp;t=607">10:07</a>] That is after that you showed your skills and recomandation, and, taking the caporal course (Stage Caporal) in Castlenaudry, with the 4 RE And, there are no females in &nbsp;La Legion, And during that time, you don&apos;t care where some one is from, you&apos;re in the Legion. <br>[<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Y0M2lexUbc&amp;t=680">11:20</a>] Francais &nbsp;par le sang versé, That rule still apply these days.<br>[<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Y0M2lexUbc&amp;t=778">12:58</a>] Only your initial contract is 5 years. <br>The AI.. horrible.. &nbsp;<br>I served my self for 5 years: 2 REG

  I was unaware that French Foreign &nbsp;Legionnaires dressed like Roman soldiers or that the Kepi Blanc looked like a German Navy cap.
