here's a simple training of survival exercice for legionary : they drop you into the djibouti desert (50°C without tree) and just tell you "get back to the base"...with 1 liter of water, a famas and a 45kg bag on your neck...
When you consider the fact that when a guy joins the legion hes gives up his identity, is considered expendable by french governemt and is almost certainly going to see front line action. legionnaires Are a Different Breed altogether.
Pay = 1000 euros a mounth. 1 in 10 die in training or action.
Id put my money on a legioner over any standard infantry Regular from any nation.
Speaking from the view point of an X british army soldier...we did a joint exercise with the FFL...they shat all over us, they're like tanks in human form!! You can never over estimate the FFL. After 2 weeks of near no sleep we were hanging and they were ready to go drinking!!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
the legion is NO were near the toughest army on the planet! definitely 1 of the shitest tho! anybody who thinks these cowboys are professional needs there head checked!!!!!
@enok2010 it really isn't. At the start it's tough, but if you talk with people who have been in it, and they're honest, it's mostly fucking around fighting the boredom and cleaning. One of the ex-legionnaires labeled it a fake army.
@pigeonpsycho soliders clean in every army around the world no matter how elite they are? If they don't like cleaning while in garrison why not request a transfer to Guiana, Ivory coast, even request to do a tour in Afghanistan, i guess those are the ones joining up and expecting to be Rambo. I mean if its that easy after the 5 years you can get a french passport. With France being part of EU that means you can live and work in any EU country if you want. Why not just stick it out?
@Baseshocks Have you not talked with any serving Legionnaires? Because I have and know what they do. Also, you don't request anything in the Legion. You could spend 5 years behind a desk, you do not have a say in it. The Legion uses you where it needs you. That is why some people quit. And you will be fucking around, cleaning, doing bullshit. It's not like other armies, look into it please.
@Baseshocks lol, if you show true strength and determination I'm sure you'll get a chance to go in a good regiment, but yeah you have no actual say. It's a real gamble, you may want to join the Legion to travel and experience shit, but there's also the possibility of being stuck doing desk work for years.
@Baseshocks It's also why the Legion attracts 3rd world peasants. The reason you just mentioned is why these mongrols stay. Most of the deserters are Westerners.
@pigeonpsycho It's not quite that bad. But yes, you do clean a lot, probably more than in any other army. There's a joke with the code of honour, saying "legionnaire tu es un volontaire servent la france avec baillet et serpier" i dunno how to spell it but it means youre a volunteer serving france with broom and cleaning rag, especially during weekends in castel, etc. castel is a bit like prison, unless you can bribe a sgt to take you to a brothel on saturday night etc.
@cedfr01 Considering the population of France makes up for 0.01% of the World population, while French citizens make up 25% of the Légion, that means a French citizen is 2,500 times more likely to end up in the Légion than *any* other human being.
@ProbablyCoolerThanU Fact is you're just another army dreamer / army looser. My father and uncle have together a 54 year long career in the Légion. And anyway, you couldn't check my facts since you can't read or understand French. The Légion only settles for the best, and you just don't fit the bill boy.
@Rachegotter We are not talking about me.. we are talking about how many French people are in the legion.. since when did this discussion become a discussion on me? ignorant idiot
@ProbablyCoolerThanU the number of French born citizens serving in the Légion totals 30%. Far beyond any other nations. Germany is number 2 with 25%. Thrre are many Eastern Europeans. America is far, far beneath with something like <1%. It's not a surprise considering anglophones in general are unable to learn a foreign language.
Give a link, last time I checked germans werent forming 25% of the whole legion, eastern europeans seemed to be in lead, for example 2rei's manpower was around 40-50% from EE.
@BaFUD You're wrong. Just visit the official website of the FFL. It's in French. The stats are there for everyone to see. Largest represented nation is France with around 30%. For one thing, high ranked officers are all French. The 25% Germans was true after WWII and until about the mid 80s. As far as I know, it's now more around 20%.
And I didn't deny that french guys wouldn't make a big number of the soldiers in Legion, but my point was, that the eastern europeans are big majority of legion these days.
@BaFUD and I never denied that there are many guys from Eastern Europe. I said the most represented nationality was French. I stand by my comments. "Eastern Europe" includes a dozen nations and tens of millions of people.
@BaFUD Certainly. But unless you can clearly define the term "Eastern European", your statement is murky at best. Are Russians Eastern Europeans? Most people would say Russia is not part of Europe. So guys from Vladivostok are Eastern Europeans to you? How about Germans from Sachsen ; are they Eastern Europeans? Germans from East Berlin? West Berlin? It's all very unclear. This stats doesn't say much, I think.
Wow wth, go ask the legionnaires themself who have added that "42% of 2rei is EASTERN EUROPEAN". And use some common sense for gods sake, you cant be that stupid.
And if you cant seriously figure it out and google "eastern europe" here's the answer: Belarus, Bulgaria, Czech, Hungary, Moldova, Romania, Poland, Russia, Slovakia, Ukraine.
I don't get it, according to you the ones that choose to go to the REG are pussies, so I presume that the NEDEX a are also pussies? What regiment of the Légion were you in? And a long?Unless the rules have changed since I was there, you should know that only the best noted get to choose their futur Regiment.
I looked on the FFL website and it said you can go on leave every year your in but you cant leave france untill your second 5 year contract(it you do a second).
Omg this is bullshit. If you dont like france enough to stay there for 5 years without any possiblities to get out. Your not meant to serve for the best army in the world AKA FFL. And Ive seen ppl quiting during their 5 years contract , you just need a good reason. Its not a jail out there.
Suprised? Not really. Still, a army without proper language is hardly the best army. Many of the people that join aren't even allowed to join their regular army for different reasons.
Some go to korsica and become special forces(airborne whatever), I can see them being better than a regular soldier though.
quentinrichard alright there? im in 3 para at moment and just fancied gettin away for a bit of a mooch about with the legion.but i proberbly dont fancy staying there for 5 years.i just wanna see whats it like you reckon you can just do the training and then get out or something.that might sound bit daft but i reckon your in the know so any help from ya would be grateful.send a message or something to profile cheers buddy
I am so close to the edge , just leave all behind & dive into the FFL
