Wittings nom Legion was winters he was 4cie rep before being shipped out to 5rmp in 82 for a major bannane i dont remember the sas tat. I thought he was previous to the rep in the green jackets or a county reg. i was monitor ca and can confirm he could handle a kayak.i heard he was WAIT FOR IT!! writing a book about the tests and how the Legion would have to rebuild the road in shorts while people in protective suits monitored them with meters.this,looks like he had an axe to grind.I remember him as a bannanier but an ok feller he was from up north but not a scouser or geordie.Originally Posted by mulgarat
on youtube in some legion vids i always see people (ex legionnaires ) commenting how bad the legion is, how all you do is corvée ,etc, theres heaps of these guys on youtube. its only normal fora guy to write a book about the real legion, i dont think many of the people who have a simple concept of what the legion is know what corvee is or how legionnaires live
i might get this book if i can

in my book drinking every day doesn't mean you are an alcoholic. having had a a few moths of showering among rep members never experienced gay activities, Au contraire.
how can you trust someone to wath your back when het is watching your arse. gays in the legion never make it (alive)

Piss-heads aplenty, the Legion was a hard life. Queers? I knew of one in the REC, a young Englishman who joined the Legion in the early 80's. There had to have been more than one, someone was ******* him, but I didnt know them. The English mafia wasnt having it and told him to desert or something bad will happen to him. The situation kind of simmered with the mafia for a while then it boiled over and something bad did happen. In rapport the capitaine asked why and the Englishman explained the fag was dishonouring Britain and the British people. The capitaine accepted that as a valid reason and the incident was forgotten. Not sugar-coated, just glossed over to show how times have changed. Martin claims to know the gay dude......I dont know about that.

Havent read the book and dont know his story but in the penthouse interview they mention the leadership is shit. What do you guys think about this? It doesnt bother me and i can understand why, i know it's not flawless (but effective nonetheless which is what counts), but from this i now see why the legion can be harder when youre ex-military.
Just my thoughts, what are yours on this ?
Will attempt a reply.
You get good and bad leaders in all organisations. Good leaders work for the team, bad leaders work for no one but themselves and generally cover their deficencies by blaming their subordinates. A good leader acknowledges his mistakes, learns from his team and takes one for the team if required. I seen equally good leaders in the ADF as I did in the Legion. I saw some really bad ones in both too. Good leaders I'll follow through hell, poor leaders on the other hand just can't respect or follow. Truth is, I can name as many NCO's and Officer in the Legion I would follow through hell as those who deserved a scorpion slipped in their bivvie bag (it happened).
Being in the ADF was also hard after being in the Legion. The softness and touchy feely approach and immaturity of some recruits at Kapooka was plain embarrassing. The training in Kapooka was good at the technical level, don't get me wrong they made me feel real good and positive about myself. The sense of urgency, the discomfort and the constant harrassement, hunger, mind numbing bullshit and fatigue you got in Castel was missing. It was a holiday. Did'nt even get it that bad at Singleton on Inf IET either, except feeling the 35 years catch up on route marches. These are the things that recruits need to get used to because its part and parcel of going to war. Why is it that 20 years later can still name all the pieces of a FAMAS and dismantle it in my mind while the F88 Steyr now seems foreign and obscure 5 yrs since picking one up? I know the words of atleast 10 legion songs but can't even fully recite Advance Australia Fair? Go figure, must be Legion training.

we heard a lot of storys from guys with lots more time in than us as will you but remember its your time now so make some memorys of your own
yae though i walk in the shadow of the valley of death i will fear no evil for am the hardest bast..d in the valley
Only time I ever saw Legionnaires retreat from a fight was in the Fleche Rouge. One of the Nayas got shoved and told to "**** off" by one of the lads and he hit her after she tossed a drink in his face and the next thing it was on. The whores grabbed those evil looking curved blades made for deknackering men and started up that wailing-howling noise and came after us. We needed no invitations and beat a hasty retreat out the door using thrown bar stools and tables as cover. Was'nt even 4pm for chrissakes. Still an epitaph on your grave stone reading "deknackered and hacked to death by naya pute" would not have looked good.

We never retreated but we chose once to "attack in another direction" once while using a list of off limits premises as an itnerary. We had a bit of an encounter with several dozen boo boos after Parky disassembled one of them for pushing a cassette in his face. We dropped a fair few of them but they kept coming. I remember seeing one Powells had done and he looked like a broken shop maniquin. arms and legs all bent wrong.....well upvucked!
we ended up being lifted by the civi Prevost police and brought before and elder French woman Judge.
She let us go and we went on the piss with you and the 3cie lads at Gabode Pouf.
Pas de pitié !
Pas peur !
