I forgot to mark cassecroute after footing.
Like the UK NAAFI break where you can queue up for a sausage sandwich or whatever the foyer are knocking out.
 
Look on the bright side though-
You learn loads of slowed down and translated Waffen SS songs and learn to open bottles of beer with your eye socket
plus you build a tolerance for food that would make John J Rambo throw up :)

Or learn Spanish with your hispano mates. Or any other language you want to learn, with the mates native of that language. And study for your medical quals or whatever quals you want to study. And go to the gym a lot and become a helluva fit guy. Or simply read for your own culture.

I even know guys who make a lot of money with stock exchange speculation from their laptop. (wether the legion currently allows it or not, we don't give a flying one, it just happens and that's what matters).

After all... life is what you make out of it.

Last but not least ; offshore work, HECP, remote site jobs are even more boring, you have to learn to never become bored.
 
Damn, that is my worst fear - boredom. One of my greatest wishes is to be delpoyed at all times, I am guessing that people with more experience than me (any experience, I have none) would beg to differ, but still, I have this urge to serve in the uniformed services & the Legion has a certain prestige over it, in my opinion, that cannot or is hard to match.

How often will one be deployed? im am guessing that certain units gets deployed more often than others, if so, who are they?
 
Hi guys, I read through this entire thread but could not find anything relating to colour blindness requirements for the Legion. I am 22, fit and healthy with no medical problems, no criminal record, good education, etc. The only thing I foresee could be a problem is that I am slightly colour deficient (something I found out only just this week). I have pretty much perfect eyesight otherwise (in fact it is apparently "unusually good") and can see colours on their own, but could not pass the Ishihara test and an Optec 900 test (similar to a lantern test). Would I be automatically ruled out, or could I perhaps attempt another test such as the Farnsworth D-15? I am confident I could pass at least that.
 
Hello Adam. I have been pointed in your direction with a simple question. Do you know of anyone who has been accepted into the legion that had a misdemeanor criminal case of sexual misconduct and was made to become registered in their parent country? It is the only criminal case I have and is not a felony. Nor is it a register-able offense in any state other than the one I live in in the USA.

Why didn't you just say "a conviction"? I see black spots on the horizon, prepare for incoming...

You said you were on the sex offenders registrar for 10yrs, you won't make any friends here!

He asked earlier about joining the FFL to lose his record and he was told that wouldn't happen, you guys will welcome him won't you, NOT!!. I can imagine the blanket party.

In answer to your question. A conviction of the nature you describe will not be a bar to joining. They won't be interested. They are only interested in serious crimes. If I were you, I would have a national background check done on yourself (that's the only one foreign law enforcement would have access to) and proceed based on the results of that.
 
I am 22 and have been training for a year to join the FFl, but a few months back i had to stop because of a stress fracture. I am back on track but i do not have too much money left, so either i go back home and save up again, or train two months more and off to France in january. If i go to France I would not really have enough money to travel back, so i wish to be in top form when i get there so I will be allowed to stay. I have read extensively and searched on forums so i know most everything required from visas, to the different tests given by the Legion (psychological, medical, physical, IQ,etc.)
My question is specifically, what is required to have a big chance at being allowed to stay after the initial weeks of screening and what is required to finish the basic training among the best of the course (to be able to have an opinion on future regiment). Some guides i could use are: number of pull-ups/time, number of push-ups/time, 3km run/time, 20km/time, marches with gear km/kg.

I live and train in Bulgaria, i play rugby, weight lift, and box but have never trained with heavy weigh-distance marches and have heard it forms the foundation of the legionaries (marche legionnaire). I have considered walking all the way to France with my rucksack, would you recommend it as for training (it would take 40 days of 40km walks, and would toughen me up to legion life)

I thank any and all responses and further advice is much appreciated

Bokomir, I could answer these questions for you, thing is that it have a few times already been discussed in this thread so it would be repeting what is already said.

I dont know if I would recommend it or not, I just wish that I still could motivate myself of doing something insane like that.
 
rather off beat question but does anyone know of any precedent of any legionnaires getting their french citizenship and going on to serve in SF?
