For those of you who talk about this, as if you are about to join. Don't think it's all games. A lot of it is secrets. But 1 thing í know, is that one of the tests you can be tried for when trying to earn your white barret (becoming a true legionaire), is walking 120 kilometers in 48 hours with 40 kilograms backpack, through snowy mountains. So don't sit around here and pretend that you for sure are going to join. You probably won't make it, but do try. It is a dream of mine too
i dont see anything elite about these guys. a bunch of rejects from society who get rejected by the ordinary military? just sad. nothing to be proud of.
Whatever power those legionnaries might have it doesn`t transfer to civil society. Once they`re out of that legion they`re back being rejects & missfits of society again.
Rumours of the FFL disbanding is false, infact i was on the phone to the FFL, Paris yesterday about joining. But, they never told me how long the selection is
French ARE allowed to join the Legion and make up %25 of their numbers. The Legion was made because foreigners were forbidden to serve in the French Army after the 1830 July Revolution, the foreign legion was created to allow the government a way around this. The purpose of the legion was to remove disruptive elements from society and put them to use fighting the enemies of France. Recruits included failed revolutionaries and SOME troublemakers, but was certainly NOT a haven for France's scum.
@DeciBoibel Legion was separate to the French Army until the 80s (I think), then they were merged with the French Army and serve as a heavy line infantry unit. They have their own special forces wing in the form of 2reme Parachute Regiment. The role now is as an infantry brigade under the command of the French Army. The legion gives the French an easy way to muster new troops and reach recruitment goals - remember 9/10 applicants are knocked back, and many wish to return to give it another go.
@DeciBoibel Oh and the Legion is useful in situations where military involvement may be necessary but it is extremely dangerous, or there is a risk of political and public backlash - in situations that the public dont approve of. The French would send in the Legion; if they die, well at least no French were hurt, if they win, then that's a victory on France's behalf. They did exactly this in Namibia, sending in 2reme instead of French forces because the mission was deemed too dangerous.
Who the hell made this? You can join if you are French, they just change your nationality on your papers to that of a french speaking country such as french canadaian, certain african states etc. I served , first with the British Royal Marine Commano's and then the 2eme REP. The majority of the elite 2eme REP come from Britain and Germany. In fact look closely at the nationality ratings and the majority of Legionnaires are British, Germans, Eastern Block Europeans and Africans, in that order,
A good Friend has 3 non- violent non drug related felonies, will the screening process deny him? Saving and planning for the trip, there is material online stating that the ffl branch may be shut down for lack of funds. Is ther any truth to this? Thanks for anyone who can respond. Best to you.
@imgonnaletyoutellit I saw a recent documentary that said the legion will ignore a persons criminal past as long as it doesn't involve dealing drugs. You can send them an email to clarify on their official website.
It's most likely that all officers are French-born citizens. It's the same for officers of every nation - native citizens can be commissioned, the rest cannot. Of course, some citizens want to be regular soldiers anyway.
Just amazing how many people believe they are ''Legion Etrangere'' specialists just because they watch movies. Anyway, only in this one, there is few major mistakes. I was lucky enough to serve as an officer in the 2e REI. So to reply to few of the comments below, the max. age to engage is 35, and starting as kepi blanc, you have very few chance to become an officer. If you want to do so, you have to go through OAEA school, what is pretty difficult for non native french speakers.
@Julawski hi, i was wondering if you can tell me some tips about joining... what's the best to say why you are joining and what sould i not say?:) and how many questions you get asked about criminal past? and what's the avarge amount of money you can make in 5 years?
My plan with this, is if all goes to hell, Join the FFL, do the 5 years, go back to usa, join Navy OCS, become a SEAL Officer, Army OCS maybe, either way I would have gone through one of the toughest enlisted experience, and I hope my men would respect me more for that, and I would be the best guy possible, I know bad officers, and I don't want to be that...
@shitbrick999, 40 yo is the maximum age to enlist, although that would likely be tough without a high degree of fitness and some previous military training
It is my understanding that in reality there are a number of French GIs. They join up under a false nationality. Some have noticed how some of the so-called "Quebecois", "Walloon", "Senegalese", etc., have accents strikingly similar to those of Lyon or Marseilles.
unfortunately, even if things do fuck up so much so that you need a new country to live in, you'll have to attain french citizenship under your original birthname... no "nom de guerre" for you.
@anton7036 best time to join is in april so you dont go to the farm in winter. As soon as you get your combat boots put the soles from your trainers in

@sniperRobert On what grounds are you saying that USMC are better than FFL?Every elite force has its own training ans secrets.Don't judge FFL from a TV show.
@milky0candy i love how people think they know better then me cuz they read it somewhere. yes there are french in the legion, grunts as well but the number is so "high" cuz of the officiers. in my section we are around 30 and only 1 guy is french
@milky0candy In the french army, about 30% of the officers are former "grunts". If you're OK, you will have a real chance to become an officer. The other 70% come from military officer academies.
hi everyone ,i have decided to join the legion due to the problems i have to rejoin the british army,is anybody interested to do so ,get in touch with me , cheers
@madjaime2007 yes he have no choice. But the legion is thinking seriously about changing that. You can join the legion with ur real name. But to those who want to join the legion, think very seriously before joining the ffl. you will be a PUPPET for the legion this military corp is fucking crazy LIMIT TO LEGALITY NO KIDDING. A special investigation have been done on the legion by a french tv CANAL+. and believe it or not is not always as they call AWSOME.
Things man..Things..Crazy FUCKING THINGS MAN. Lol im jking I could never join the legion, the legion is for a man that can leave everything behind him, family friends his life...Which many men cant..so many are men who have nothing. CRAZY shit.
I hate how this documentary makes it sound like the legion is all secretive and mysterious. Maybe the soldiers' true identities aren't known, but the legion itself is NOT particularly secretive.
there is a BIG differance from having made some bad decisions in life and "being a failure" . Some of these man have been to the edge way before they joined the Legion,they probably have risked life and limb for more pointless reasons then "god and country" . it's like there fighting for redemption, thats a powerful insentive to get the job done
mercenaries are supposed to make a lot of money.. these guys dont make tht much.. its more about the feeling of being alive before dying than makin money..
'I was in the Australian Army and i was kicked out'
So how the fuck did he manage to keep that from the Gestapo? I thought the legion did thorough back ground checks on all applicants and any little problem would mean you get rejected.
@techlogi7 u dont get rejected by the legion because u been kick out by the Australian army. The legion will kick you out when the POLICE ,INTERPOLE of ur country is looking for you.
@techlogi7 Maybe he didn't keep it from the Gestapo. It's my understanding that if you are honest with them, that goes a long way. It also depends on why he was kicked out of the Australian Army. If it was something trivial and told them about it, then the Legion MIGHT give him another chance. If it was something serious or really bad, then you're right, he would be rejected or have INTERPOL on him depending if he was wanted or not.
@geunsjl a yeah ? i'm french and i'm in the foreign legion and the most big part now are the guys from east of europe they are the most strong physically
