So can finally put up a update now that everything is some what operational.

I swapped over to the 2nd Btn Foreign Legion as a company first Sgt (Chosen company). The btn was in a hibernation type state while the UA officers were organizing everything.
I typically have been against the legion due to the various cluster fucks etc, but joined as i know the Ukrainians taking charge in building this out. And I came over to hopefully show that there can be a disciplined fighting force of foreigners & Ukrainians.
Since taking the 1st Sgt position we've (C company) grown rapidly while at the same ensuring proper rank & file, discipline & structure.
One of the biggest challenges has been learning the Ukrainian paperwork & military code/structure but I've gotten a good grasp on it. The other big challenge has been getting all the soldiers давідка and other forms that the legions, or other units failed to do.
14 months ago I never thought I'd be a mid ranking NCO within a company in Ukraine. And honestly, I was perfectly fine simply showing up to a front line or trench with my combat loafers, half in uniform, my bag stuffed with RPGs, C4 & grenades and just running amok creating chaos
But shit happens. Now I wear a full uniform (most days), sit in on briefings, ops planning and get to watch the chaos created by my evermore lethal company & btn. I guess its a fair trade. We are implementing and testing things & I can't wait to post about them in the future.
Some of which will likely alter modern military tactics when it comes to implementing sigint and targeting on a far reaching scale and how COTS devices can be uses to target individuals, infrastructure, and other targets far from the front to allow assault forces openings.
Stay tuned y'all, its been a chaotic journey, but its just getting started.
Lastly, if your looking for a unit as a foreigner (or Ukrainian as I can do transfer papers) and don't mind 0600 pt sessions, and actual structure, hit me up and we can see if you'll be a good fit.

I'm going to start a weekly series on Idiots who provide information/support trackanazimerc doxxing.

Figured I'd start with an American.
This mothers basement dwelling asshat frequents the TG chat and provides lovely commentary and sometimes personal information on foreigners.
This Russian account is used to track Western volunteers on IG. You can find his personal account by searching followers***

The 101 group apparently has a US registered business as well.
Another frequent person in the TG who frequently calls for the killing of volunteers and family members.

I haven't forgotten about this, nor will I just roll over on it. Him and his organization can go fuck themselves. The dudes are stealing money, and it doesn't take a dude in a subway to figure it out.
And no I'm not going to roll over on this. But I will however call it out 100%. And I'll back it up with other unit chat.
Go home you fucking twat

Explanation of everything:
No, I'm not a bot
No I'm not pro-Russia(fuck Russia and everyone supporting their war)

I went public on things to get the quickest course correction possible to prevent unnecessary deaths and after exhausting other means to get results.
There was/is consistent and considerable failures at a leadership level. These failures are going to get men killed needlessly, lower unit effectiveness, and morale.
Leaders in the military should always fight for their men and strive to achieve the best results possible.
If, as a leader, you are not fighting for your men, you can't expect them to want to fight and die for your orders. It's extremely plain and simple.

We consistently hear Ukraine isn't Russia or like Russia. And that is true. Ukraine is Ukraine(no matter what Russia believes)
