[QUOTE="UrbanSpartan125"][QUOTE="D3nnyCrane"][QUOTE="UrbanSpartan125"][QUOTE="D3nnyCrane"][QUOTE="DivergeUnify"][QUOTE="D3nnyCrane"]Yeah, but it's THEIR obstacle course. They're familiar with it. I'd assume a VISITING group of Marines would be unfamiliar with it.I might change mine to the French Foreign Legion - I saw a DVD on their training and they're harder than a coffin nail...
Ironically, the record for their obstacle course in The Congo is completion in 45 minutes - it took a visiting group of Marines 8 hours...

Umm it is AN obstacle course -the Legionaires had never seen it before either. And any way you slice it, 8 hours is a long time to get an obstacle course done.
8 hours to do an obstacle course, are you kidding. What where they Marines from WW2. The French Foreign Legion is a joke, really its pathetic.I really do not know where to start with your ramblings:
OK first of all there have been massive changes to legislation to ensure that people with criminal history are vetted pre-enlistment, but who would you rather face: Hardened criminals or school leavers?
The 8 hours was done by a group of Marines. It is the longest time at the Congo Course. This was in 1999.
The moment you arrive at the Legion training you will not be responded to unless you talk in French. This adds to the already world-recognised miltary training experienced, in addition to adding to the almost inhumane psychological standards of the training.
Seriously, there is a reason FFL areas are no longer listed as world hot spots...
First off i would like to see proof of the 8 hour claim, because i dont believe it.Most of the people in the legion are criminals or have been kicked out of other militaries

And unlike the FFL, the Marines and other forces are actually fighting somewhere

When I was in Afghanistan I was a whole lot more impressed by the British and Aussies over there.
Who were you with?
