Description

A very exciting episode featuring Charles Stoeng who spent 15 years in the French Foreign Legion.  Charles is from Norway, and he explains what it was like to join the legion, going to France, the process and selection and what life in the Legion is like.  he talks about his time as part of a Desert Reconnaissance unit where he spent time in multiple countries in Africa, the Middle East, and former Yugoslavia.  We get into detail about brotherhood and the sense of belonging we all feel and ultimately miss about the military. We also touch on how in the military, especially the Legion, can open people up to many types of people with different cultures, backgrounds, economic status and how we learn to work together and become family.
