		Bonjour!
		A general explains how many a recruit has realised his own potential while serving with the Legion, often surprised at their personal abilities to overcome adversity.
		The Legion is your Home!
		An all too familiar landmark to every Legionnaire. Home is where you hang your hat. In this case, your "Kepi Blanc".
		Step back and take a deep breath!
		You have to be there to appreciate it. No picture can stir that sense of awesome anticipation of what lies ahead.
		At the entrance!
		To stand at the entrance to a lifestyle of mystery and adventure, knowing that destiny, is bigger than history itself.
		Are you willing?
		After numerous interviews and many questions, you will soon know whether a life in the Legion is what you want!
		Almost there E.V.
		The contract is read to you.
		This is where it's at!
		Marching proudly, the elite brotherhood of the white kepi! These are the firemen of the French army. They can be deployed anywhere in the world in a moments notice.
		March or Die!
		A slower marching pace, accompanied by traditional songs which are quickly learnt by the recruits.
		Marching is a way of life for every Legionnaire
		These Legionnaires carry on the traditions of the Foreign Legion.
		La Legion c'est Dur - Mais Gamelle c'est sur!
		The Legion is hard but the food is for sure! Sing for your supper... literally translated - the sausage - made of coagulated blood of a pig, an acquired taste to say the least!.
		Let me show you how it's done here!
		A helping hand from a friendly "sergent".
		Romance is not dead in the Legion
		Esprit de Corps, is built around the traditions of an elite brotherhood. This corps spirit never dies. Evenings take on a non-tactical line and there will be customary wine drinking and singing of Legion songs in front of a camp fire.
		Familiarise yourself with the tools of the trade.
		A recruit gets hands on training with a bolt action rifle. While serving with the Legion, one will become proficient in the handling of a variety of weapons. Here a killing range of 600m can be achieved with accuracy.
		As the band played...
		Marching while the band plays... an officer conducts the musicians of the foreign legion band as Legionnaires, file past at their traditional slow pace..
		Join the Legion band.
		The French foreign legion has a marching band. Those who are musically inclined are encouraged to join it! If the career in the band is not for you, just sing along!
