5.0 out of 5 stars Very Informative, January 8, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Foreign Legion - Vol. 1 & 2 [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This video is a two tape set on the Legion Etranger. The first video is about Legion boot and shows some of the rigors which must be endured in order to become a legionnaire. It also shows some of the selection process involved.

The second video is about the Third Regiment stationed in French Guiana. It tells about their role there and some of the Legion's ceremonies such as the sacred Camerone Day and the Legion's slow marching step. This video is a must-see for anyone who is contemplating joining.

This review is from: Foreign Legion - Vol. 1 & 2 [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Having trained with FFL troops, I must say I was quite let down by this video. It was kind of boring and not really that intriquing. Found myself fighting off sleep more than anything else. A good video on FFL would be the World of Valor series which use to show on the Discovery channel. Who ever made this video needs to take some hints from the Discovery guys.

4.0 out of 5 stars Interestning but not more, December 4, 2000

This review is from: Foreign Legion - Vol. 1 & 2 [VHS] (VHS Tape)

As said before the tape contains two films. The first is about a englishmen joining, and his time in the selecting- and "boot camp"-phase. This film is really interesting and good. It shows some of the training (the singing lessons too!). The second film is about some fresh legionaires coming straight from Castelnaudary to 3e REI in french Guyane. It is very interesting too but what I really miss is to see something from the other regiments, not only this. Although worth putting your money on!
