TCAV TV: Deployed Russian Border with Foreign Legion - Story 70 

Training with him currently really nice guy responds quick and helps out a lot

Hey Taylor, congratulations on your engagement. I’ve been watching since your first video and they’re super motivating. Could you do a video on your time with the Legion in the jungle doing anti-mining operations? Thanks 👍

I gotta admit your French cracks me up!! I’m dual citizenship born in USA but also French…thank you for your service with France and with the SEAL’S…you’ve come a long way!!!! Congrats!!! Bonne chance!!! Viva the U.S. and France and all of greater Europe!!!😊🇺🇸🇫🇷✝️🙏

We had an Estonian platoon with us in Iraq. Quality soldiers.

This is the type of guy that you keep behind glass. Break only in case of war.

Cant wait to meet you one day bro i was FFL 2rep° did time with GCP your stories bring back memories of my time in the legion wouldn't change for world stay sharp bro! "LEGIO PATRIA NOSTRA!" #TENNESSEE #AMERICA

You’re right, I was in the Gulf War 1990-1991, trained every day, no showers lived outside, couldn’t be stopped, I still train and keep it my daily habits.

We all rooting for you Taylor, stay safe buddy.

Thanks for the inspiration. I'm old now, but in my early 30's I decided to change my life. I had just gotten into recovery and somehow landed an amazing job all in the same day (after losing literally everything). And I wanted to keep the momentum. That same week I started waking up at 4am, which is a beautiful time to be awake, when all the world is sleeping, and picking up the weights. Everyday. I never missed a day. Seven days a week. It wasn't easy at first, but I loved the suffering. Everyday 4am I would wake up, pray, make a protein shake, and hit the bench, and then onto cardio, and then shower, then work, and then back to the weights again. Everyday. I kept at it even when I didn't want to, especially when I didn't feel like it. Getting off of that bench in the mornings felt great. The best way to start the day. I was developing good habits, and I learned that my mind wanted me to quit way before my body needed to quit. For years I never missed a day, and the transformation both physically and mentally was amazing. I am in my fifties now, and I still wake up at 4am, and I still love it. I do not hit the weights as much, but I take care of myself and I am healthier than most older men. Anyway I told you this story to say this: You can do it, but it won't be easy at first. It will suck at first. If you want to change your life you have the power to do it. You are smart enough and you really can do it. Sorry for the long post. I have been watching this channel since day 1 and just had to share my story. If I can do it anyone can do it. I was a real POS for a long time. If I can do it you can definitely do it.

I did Estonia 🇪🇪 in 2019, winter to summer, 8 months in total with the KRH battle group, great place, great blokes, the legion was there then too, top guys. Had to video one of your marches, amazing, I put it on my channel

Always appreciate hearing your stories and the good advice you provide for the young folk, from one old salt to another, hooyah.

good words and wisdom

100 percent, it only takes one excuse! I'm married, have five kids and work 9 to 5 but I get up early, on my time, and head to the gym. It only takes one that one excuse to stay in bed. Stay strong

One of your best videos!! “Only one reason”

You have a great attitude brother. Keep on truckin. 🍀🇺🇸🇫🇷

Glad you're doing well, bro. And getting exposure from podcasts.

Hi, there and thanks for Your service, specially in Estonia. As a Estonian myself it is not a small thing for us that guys like you putting the time and the knowledge to make our country safe. God bless You and your family and your service buddies!

You’re a badass sir. Big fan since I heard your story man keep living it up now

Shout out to you and all the Europeans I’m Austrian American and with what’s going on now respect to all your service being part of keeping the gap bridged between us

Outstanding story

“ Awesome “ Kudos to you Sir Cavanaugh. Good Day Sir , Out Here 👍😎

I havent seen you in a minute Taylor, I'm glad to see you're doing well man. Stay healthy!

Great video as always… you need to do a video about learning French and how people communicated with each other all as foreigners trying to speak French

Lookin good man, i like the way you present yourself. Hello from northern California man! Be good,taje care. Hooe your family is well.

You're a man of many talents nailing those accents 😆

Guard your heart and mind brother. I’m running on the beach in Florida thinking of you. Stay on the narrow path and away from drugs and alcohol. Stay sharp and humble. Thanks for the edification

You're truly an inspiration. Of course I can only see as an outside observer, but man, your life has been a hell of a ride brother. Your mental toughness has really done you a good service and it seems when you call upon it you can keep pushing neither looking to the left or right but straight for the goal. In all that you have stayed humble enough to live a life of service to others and you are still helping people find their way through the human experience. It's good to see you have gotten to a place where your mental discipline has paid off and you are enjoying the fruits of your labor. Truly amazing.

Afternoon coffee ☕️ and story 70. Always intrigued by your legion experience. Thanks for showing the video. Great stuff. Be safe.

💥💥TCAV... What up, Brother.... Looking good and doing it, Right... Stay Strong!!!💥💥

you always make my day with these stories, just wish you would post more pics in your videos of your deployments as a Seal and Legionnaire, but awesome videos brother

I'm just starting to understand what you're about. It's super on point and motivating. Im a fan already and will be watching my friend. You have a great story. Thank you for what you do. Mad respect!

Thank you. I am at 6 Years clean, was starting to have a hard time dealing with people. You stepped me back to watch my own behaviors, and where that very well possibly lead to. As far as eating healthy, that's really hard for me. I have no teeth. Mostly from being lacking enamel on my teeth. Also partly from sniffing what we will call muffins. Anyway, thank you for doing what you do. As always, thank you for your service, brother!

Great story as always educational, entertaining & eye opening! Congrats again on the engagement, awesome to see when others are truly happy & doing/achieving what they dreamt of! Keep killin it, love the military stories and fitness/workouts! Keep em both coming they're awesome! It's crazy how some people don't see or understand the importance and multiple benefits that working out & having a routine, esp a morning one that gets you right and tight for the day! 💪 👍 🙏

Awesome story. Love the channel. God bless and protect you always.

Good old VAB lol, very surprised the Legion let you film anything to be honest, back in the day lucky to get a photo!!

From an old team 2 guy, you are rocking it. Very up close and personal. Ride this to the top, good luck, Bill Tucker

I could only do 1 pushup when I started watching your videos. I was just at the beginning of my own journey. Since then I can do 26 at a clip and I don’t miss a day. Down 10 pounds and feeling right!! 😊

Thanks for sharing!!! We trained with the French in Egypt one year. They had men and women together, and the two were having a conversation. The female was speaking and my buddy and I said, “that’s the sexiest language we’ve ever heard!” The male responded and we quickly agreed, “that’s the whiniest language we’ve ever heard!!!”😂😂😂

I’ve signed a lot of contracts in my life but this one is wt no doubt the most impactful of them all. Take the jump, it’s worth the splash. Trust

Taylor, can you please do a "Typical Day" for you please? Up at 2am I think, Coffee, ......bed by 9pm? Thank you man, love your story, it inspires, peace from China.

Be careful over there guy I’ll pray for you

I love how even now you're not part of the foreign legion you are careful with your words politely telling us that they treated us like shit compared to the regular army. I heard that the women there are beautiful too.

Never stop sharing your military stories.. People respect the hell out of that sort of service, and especially so when it comes to young men. It provides a picture of a solid, straight path you can take towards a life of enhanced discipline, hard work, respect, personal development, as well as a potential launch pad for any one of a million different career fields.

I'm glad he's on our side.

Great story, great message!

Our neighbors from LV estonians do not talk much like finns. Part of it is USSR heritage as well. What was kind of depressing. Lately people are opening up.

The 1992 Rio earth summit explains all to the, " Cannon Fodder " unfortunately that populates the earth.

I love that awesome grenade tattoo on your arm. I was wondering where I could get a super cool tattoo of a grenade on my arm? Thank you Captain

Keep dropping bro love the content

Great post - thank you!

Thank you, sir, for helping Europe staying free and secure.

Thanks for sharing your journey.

Sick video 🔥

Shine On...Blessings!! Hoo Yah...

Outstanding experience bro. You see, baltic countries are full of pretty girls and good people but, due to their past under communism they do not seem very amusing. That regime ended many years ago but old habits die hard. They are as i said a very friend and lovely people. Take care bro, you're the man. 💪

You the man bud👊🏼

Love the stories bro good stuff 🙏🏻

Hi from France, i'm an Australian who lives and works in France.been here 35 years, i've got the same problem,when i open my mouth they know i'm not French, but hey they love that accent......bit like when a sexy french woman speaks english....

Awesome stories! I'm in the Danish army and I did a similar deployment to Latvia in 2023 👊

Can you do a vid on diet in the military? Best MREs for macros. What supplements you are allowed. TRT? French vs Yank grub etc.

I listened to the podcast you did with Mike Ritland really enjoyed that one do you have a book out yet ? if so id like to read it

My wife is from Brazil 🇧🇷 and her friends that didn’t find an American 🇺🇸 Man left to work for Transfer Wise in Estonia 🇪🇪

You are first american who knows European geography and history 👍

very interesting

Hey brother! Other side also watching you😏 Different perspective and good mentorship from you. For me it was really unusual to hear that not so many actual Russian were in your Régiment, because in 2rep lots of us, most of who i know ex specops or VDV guys. God bless you brother, stay safe! And greetings from Siberia✊

Great story terrific energy on point!

Hello TCAV, I want to ask you a question, I know you said in a previous video that you didn't know any French prior to joining the Legion. Then after joining how long did it take you to pick up French.

Cool story

Sounds like a nice camping trip there in Estonia!

That would of been a pretty cool deployment.. you need to make a workout program for us old dudes I been trying to get back into it been feeling like shit being in my 50s sucks ass.

TC - you are getting up to workout , did other troopers join you on those workouts ? good story / good footage. thank you sir. ~ JDS/CT

All off eastern central Europe crazy history

Man, brother stop hogging up all that socal sun

The English accent was pretty good.

Always be a little fu**ing crazy. In a good way.

Stay safe and remain blessed

Cool video mate

Another great video bro😊

Good Morning Kind Generous

I like the trees the . last 25% rocked

Look at you looking like w3 nice video

Stay smart ...... out here

What's the culture differences between the legion and regular French military? I did a NATO exercise in Poland up near Russian Kaliningrad. Near every NATO partner was competent and cool as fuck. The French though, they were not fans of us Americans. At least my limited exposure, we'd be hanging with the Poles, Brits, Norwegians, etc and those French fellas wanted nothing to do with anyone other than their own. We did our joint live fire and that was it

Dude! you made me LOL!! "kinda a cold people they were like why is this guy talkin!" my wife and her family are born and raised in Soviet Ukraine.. I get it Brother.. They dont smile for pictures.. They think its fake and shady to smile for no reason! They dont laugh at any of my jokes! Silly American!!!

Nice story my friend 😊 hope ur ok 👌 🇨🇵🇺🇲

Tailored by Taylor lol

Yes.....reset. reflect. Get up before your command. Good job. Die to old self, reinvent what you were always supposed to be. Last and only chance. Bro, we have VERY similar backgrounds and life. Our journey was parallel. Imma have to talk to you, hell, you can come to my house. Illinois baby. 😅🤣 for real. Alot of things to do here....people hate on it. Reflection of their dark night....but hey, brother, hit me up.

Million ways ...1 excuse ✍🏼

Dead on British accent 😅😅😅
