He had joined the JGN as a young gendarme, as you do to join that. And in their system, they attach a new guy to a more experienced guy. And he was, remember when they raided the Airbus in Marseille? Yes. He was, I think, number four in the door. Because- You want to talk about a mission I would never want to do?

I know.

I know.

Ballsy, man. We actually visited their compound and I saw the helmet where the mask, they got those thick fucking helmets. He took the round, the AK round in the- Knocked him out, but it saved his life. But anyway, he was switched on. And I remember one of the entry exams was you had to do laps in the pool, a certain amount of laps in time.

So here's a Zhejiang guy, and then you got the legionnaire, Joel. And he's supposed to stop you when you're done. And you just let me go. And I'm like, like, you know, like, it's funny to think fucking Legionnaires, man. What the fuck, you know?

I'd have the white kepi. Okay. So you always wore that? Yes. Okay. Well, no, we had the green beret. Okay. So that's more parade wear. But, um, yeah, when we would be in comments and like jumping, it would be green beret. But when I would like leave garrison and I'm traveling back forth, it would be the white kepi. So visually distinct. Okay. Yeah. Um, Yeah.

And I remember we finally, uh, you know, and I enjoyed, I liked my big thing. I couldn't wait to get out of the Herc and going out the side door, the ramp cool at night, whatever. But it was, you know, that side where you, you pull yourself into the, I just, for whatever reason, that's what I wanted. Right. And I'm not, I wasn't into the civilian skydive.

I was more like, I, what interests me is the operational side of it. But, um, Yeah, I enjoyed it. I think I was lucky. You know, I got the long arms, long legs. And so I was able to, you know, I was a stable, stable jumper and did okay. But I remember at the end, there was two, we had two teams of 10. And they, the final jump in the ceremony to get our wings was on Wright Field.

And that's where the Wright brothers had flown the planes to introduce them to the French. And the regiment CO was there and all these guests. And we landed about a mile short. We had to walk back with our rugs, you know, our rigs on and our gens on our shoulders, like fucking, I thought that was pretty fucking funny. But yeah, you know, it was, you know, but again, I'm the only Legionnaire.
