But I’ll be writing about the things you won’t find elsewhere online. The Legion fights a lot, and for those who manage to survive, creates new opportunities. (Presuming you weren't forced out of your home country, which is a very different situation than voluntary service elsewhere for no major reason.). "They called over a German and invited him to fill his tin mug. . You will do one good march at the end of every week in la ferme [link 10], the first one will only be about 7–8km, then it doubles every next week until the fourth and final week where you do the 40km Kepi Blanc march. Also, they send me a pension every month so I can sip on mezcal in Mexico and make a nice easy life as a writer. 11. I was no longer navy. I was making bad decisions and I knew it. Selection went remarkably fast for me as i don't have a criminal record (something very, very rare in the legion) and my test scores were great. I'm a soldier not... wait a minute does that mean ask me anything? As long as they are your nations ally I see no problem with it. In the end, though, the Legion's grip on the continent became a matter of national humiliation. Technically, there are human rights and you are not allowed to be corporally punished. Dropped twice, never fired." If one of them messes up, you will both pay the penalty. It manifests, most importantly, in a renowned fierceness on the battlefield. Can you tell me more about obtaining citizenship through service? I obtained the rank of Caporal. Looks like you're using new Reddit on an old browser. Call it a hunch, but I think that's bullshit. We actually had recommendations like "don't stare at them, they don't like it". Q: How about evenings, weekends, holidays in the Foreign Legion? So whatever language you speak; Spanish, Arabic, or Mandarin, if you get caught speaking anything other than French, prepare for some pompage action. While I did encounter some that considered what I was doing equal to being a traitor, they were the minority and could still usually be engaged in reasonable conversation. Dual citizenship is exactly that. I don't see it as "giving up" anything. A one-way plane ticket, a couple of layovers, and 22 hours of traveling later, I found myself on the ground in Aubagne, France. Most of this conduct appears to have ceased, but the culture endures. That being said, it's pretty awesome. After that, a psychiatrist tried to make us sweat by questioning our intentions and highlighting our flaws. And yes, some people have died from training [link 6]. what about dual citizenship? I was interested in foreign languages since middle school. There are some good documentaries out there so have a look if you have not. The cross-section of the guys I met in the Legion was eclectic to say the least. This is an information page. You will do much more cleaning in your first years than training or deploying. You will be assigned one or two "binômes", who will probably speak some amount of English, and you will help them learn the basics of French. All NCOs in the Legion started as simple legionnaires (except for a few NCOs from the French Army, assigned to some regiments as well-trained specialists). Here's to many more years of epic badassery. In exchange, you get shipped off to God knows where and have a chance to reinvent yourself. So, you have to be better than the rest of candidates in all aspects to get a chance (NOT the right) to be selected… There are no “bring this or that, pass this or that, make this or that” tricks to be accepted. Then came an interview that was basically a drawn-out "Why do you want to join?" Historically, the Legion has been a place where "serious fuck ups" can go receive a new life and, along with that, a second chance. Maybe it is due to globalization and politics, maybe they just have so many people trying to join they are allowed to be picky. Same shit as the navy, seems there was a translation error, that's why i was in "Limbo" for so long. A: You are allowed to contact your family once you have started your basic training in Castelnaudary, by mail or payphone. Q: Do I need to speak French before joining the French Foreign Legion?
