Escape to the Legion

 

Grylls filmed a four-part TV show in 2005, called Escape to the Legion, which followed Grylls and eleven other "recruits" as they took part in a shortened re-creation of the French Foreign Legion's basic desert training in the Sahara. The show was first broadcast in the UK on Channel 4,[22] and in the USA on the Military Channel.[23]

 

Ah thanks - my cousin got a call up to the FFL. He's got a French passport, that's probably why.

Interestingly enough French nationals arn't legally aloud to join, so the Legion recruits them as Canadians or Belgians and forces them to change their name...

Its not an easy life- 5 year minimum contract, brutal training and because youre expendable you get sent to places France is too scared to go themselves [The legion entered Mali 3 weeks before regular French troops were deployed]

 

but I guess it is one hell of an adventure, plus you'll be a proper certified badasshttp://www.blog.flicks.co.nz/wp-content/uploads/badass-badge.jpg
