My son unit's is the recently created 4th Foreign Regiment Reserve Company.

This regiment serves as the Foreign Legion training center, comprising along with the HQ Co, 3 basic training companies , one cadre instruction company and a specialists training company, each with its training center (dubbed a farm), and consequently the regiment has no fixed manpower strength because of the personnel turnover.

To unburden the unit with the detachments and securities missions (notably the anti terrorism Vigipirate patrols), a 6th (reserve) company was recently created, and by exception is composed exclusively of French nationals.

As they are French reservists that did not enlist in the Foreign Legion, they do not wear the famous white képi on parade but the black infantry one.

For all the rest they train and serve exactly like the other Légionnaires, wear the green beret and 4th Foreign Regiment badge and use the regiment's armament and equipment.

I managed to find an almost new, hardly used "Scootcase" travel-portable mobility scooter at just over half the normal retail price, which arrived today.
This folds down to a single, very compact package for transportation, and includes the extremely tough wheeled transit case ( although I doubt I'll use the case, as it's rather large and tricky for me to lift ).
This will make things much easier for me, loading and unloading into my car when travelling alone, as my regular scooter, although it strips down easily into five parts, is a lot heavier, and awkward to handle due to my limited grip and articulation.
Looking forward to trying it out on my next travels, beginning on 4th September, when I'll be back touring Norfolk and Suffolk.


 
Well, best of luck with your scooter. One day I was driving down highly A1A and became concerned about a burning smell. Eventually I realized it was not coming from my car. The traffic was passing a slower moving vehicle up ahead. When I got up there I found an older gentlemen had tried to put a electric scooter in his trunk, but since it was too big to fit he decided to just let the rear wheels roll along behind the car. Of course, the wheels were not rolling and the rear tires were being milled down by the road. He was driving along with a big smile on his face, no doubt congratulating himself on his clever solution to the problem.
