Promo Parachutiste is the selection course which Legionnaires intending to join 2ème REP undergo at Camp Raffalli in Calvi, Haute-Corse.
Parachute training takes place at Camp Raffalli and runs for two weeks with a total of six jumps.
The Legionnaires spend their parachute training in Calvi TAP within the walls of the regiment.
During the weekend they are still under the command of their monitor and they visit Camp Raffalli Legionnaires and paratroopers museum.
Once placed in their companies, newly fledged parachutists get a reality check of how fit they are as they are marched in full kit across the rugged terrain of the Corsican mountains.
