While we were in training we were on the Farm for xmas. We came back to Castel and spent the evening of the 24th Dec celebrating with the rest of 1ere Company. We all received xmas gifts from the Legion. It was a leatherman type tool and a really good pocket knife! A cracking gift! We went back to the farm and a continued training. A couple of months later we're back at Castel all of us Legionnaires and as you can imagine many of the boys had lost these gifts or had them pinched. I still had mine. A Brazilian(I forget his name) in my room had lost his....On the weekends the officer fucks off and you're left with a sergent and a caporal for the weekend while the rest of the Cadre go out, it's normally a pretty chill bit of downtime..... I took a shower one evening and came back to my room to find that my pocket knife had gone from my locker! It was blatant who'd nicked it. I walked straight up to the Brazilian and asked for it back, he denied pinching it so I smacked him and went through his locker..... Sure enough there it was, in his wash bag. I grabbed the Brazilian kiddy and put the knife to his throat and told him if he ever stole from me again it'd be the last thing he'd ever do! I walk back to my bed and carry on getting dressed and sorting my shit out. The Brazilian is crying and getting rather loudly worked up. He tells me that he's going to get Euseibio(cheesy names galore in the Legion lol). Euseibio was another Brazilian in our section who was a right hard cunt. He claimed that he'd been a Ju Jitsu champion in Brazil and whether he was or not the cunt was mean and tough. So, the kiddy in my room runs off to fetch Euseibio...... I quickly get my tracksuit on and my trainers too. I walk out into the corridor and towards Euseibio's room, I stop about 20foot down from his door and take my top off. Word had spread quickly and a few people were gathered behind me and on the other side of Euseibio's door waiting to see what went down. Now, I'm from the Valleys in South Wales, I was a para before the Legion, I can fight, I've killed, I'm never scared. I waited and sure enough Euseibio comes swaggering out of his room as anticipated..... Euseibio is an arrogant dick who pushes in front of the weaker kids in the line in the canteen and generally bullies his way around. He looks at me with a surprised look on his face, he didn't think I was going to be there waiting for him....... Euseibio is about 6foot and 14stone, a lot bigger than me. However, I can see in his eyes that he's a little scared...... I smile like a mad man and claw a my chest making several deep scratches that start bleeding. I hold my hands at my side in clenched fists and say through gritted teeth "I'm going to kill you, you fucking cunt!". Euseibio crouches and comes towards me like a spider! 15ft, 10ft, 5ft, he's close enough! I rush him. He stays crouched and as I approach I drive my knee cleanly into his face. I felt his face give way, I'd broken his jaw at least! Euseibio goes flying backwards and is sprawled on his back clutching his jaw. He's sort of screaming with the pain but, I'm a right nasty cunt, when I go, I fucking go. I dive on top of him. He puts his hands up to cover his face. I start butting. I'm on top of him with a knee either side, I've got both hands holding his tracksuit top and I'm butting like fuck. His fingers are breaking and whatever's behind them is getting fucked up too. I keep going and eventually the cunt goes limp. His hands come away from his face and I can see I've destroyed him. I'm still raged, I need to show everyone that you can't fuck with me. I keep butting and popping a few uppercuts into his badly broken jaw. He's lying there lifeless. A few boys try to grab me and pull me off but, I've got no top on and I'm a strong guy for my size and weight also, I'm pumped. I wanted to murder him. As the boys get a grip of me from behind, a few more come from the direction of Euseibio. I know I haven't got long left so, I make a big lunge, butting him for the final time only I didn't lift my head. I sank my teeth deep into his smashed face and as the boys pull me I'm like a terrier with my teeth sunk into him. Euseibios head lifts as the boys pull me. A few others are holding Euseibio and his flesh tears leaving me with a bloody mouthful of his flesh! The boys pulling me let go as soon as they get me a few foot away. I'm standing there in the corridor panting like a mad man. I look like Hannible fucking Lecter with blood all over my face and splattered all over my body. What seemed like a silent eternity passed and then the Caporal and the Sergent arrive. Everyone freezes! The Caporal and the Sergent know that this is bad. This is not your average punch up. The Cadre know a little of everyone's history in the section. The Sergent certainly knows Euseibio is hard. He also knows that the guy stood 5 foot away covered in blood is an ex Para. His face says he's unsure of what to do. This Sergent was from the 2emeRep, he knows a fe Brit Para's and he was in the Polish Para's before the Legion. He thinks he's walked in on a murder scene lol. He tells the Caporal to get the Police Militaire. He looks at me and calmly says that he's going to check Leg. Euseibio and that I'm to stand still. He feels his pulse and tells one of the French kiddies to go get someone from the infirmarie. All of the Brazilians (about 5 or 6) are standing around looking VERY frightened. I'm staring at them all still panting and spluttering blood, still topless. My mates told me afterwards that I looked like a total fucking psyco. The Caporal Chef on evening duty at the infirmarie arrives and it turns out that Euseibio isn't dead but has severe head trauma, I know that!lol Then the Police Militaire rock up. There's a fat Ukrainian Caporal Chef and a huge Pacific Islander. The pair of them don't bat an eyelid. The Pacific Islander asks me what nationality I am. I say "Gallois"(Welsh). He laughs and says in perfect sarcastic english "What a fucking surprise". Turns out he's Samoan and played semi professional rugby in Llanelli as a young man! He explains that we're going for a walk but first I need to shower. He supervises me showering and getting dressed. He tells me to gather a day sack full of spare clothes and my wash stuff as I'm not coming back this evening, maybe not for a while. We leave the company. The next day I have to do a Compte Rendu, basically pass report in front of the Company Capitain. I go in, he's polite but firm. He tells me that he's read the Police Militaire report and that he knows Euseibio attacked me!!!! WTF???? He tells me that I'm getting 4 days jail for violent conduct and 8 for bringing the Company into disrepute!!! 12 days!! Not bad for attempted murder!! I did my jail, loved every minute of it and returned to the company as a feared man/legend. I finished training without any other person laying a finger on me or the three other Brits, not even the Caporals or Cadre! Euseibio was medically discharged from the Legion.
