  • HuggleBear, Thank you very much for your insight on the Legion.

    I`m currently planning my trip to France. By chance, I found a book on the web that pretty much explained a lot on joining the Legion, but having someone like yourself speaking about it, certainly helps wonders. I do however have a question that I`ve yet to find an answer or recomendation.- Is there a month or season of the year that would be better to show up at their offices? - I`m planning to travel in April, on time for Cameron

  • @SupremacyFA - A good valid question!

    Winter is the best time..... Potential recruits have less romantic ideas about the Legion, when it's cold! lol.

  • this is the stuff people do in the gym.

  • @VerystrangeMaster - Indeed, but why pay for the privilidge..... Whichever way works for you, go for it!

  • how is the food in the legion? would love to know.

  • @Gonken88 - It not great.... But sufficient!

  • @MrAlfonzo93 - My Advice:

    Quit training on Chin Ups! You'll always be able to do more under, than over hand. Always train overhand and the underhand will take care of itself. Also, do it after a run!

    You have the right attitude

    1. You're not just talkin' but already doin! Good sign. 5x *****

    2. You've evaluated your performance, decided on improvement and set goals. 5x*****

    3. You're asking advice from people who can help you! No point asking the Brick maker about Jewellery! 5x*****

  • @hugglebear69 pull ups i class as over hand and chin ups underhand, btw im going for royal marines im not brave enough for the legion, give it a few years and a few hard blows to the head and ill consider it : P

see all

  • @hugglebear69 Thank you much Mate, I almost forgotten I`ve written to you. - I was one of them, thinking winter time would be a bad idea, but I`ll trust your advice and will replan my trip.. - Best Regards, Cheers from Mexico

  • @darksam6 - Yup... That's it! lol

  • "IN" 85 USMC I did the required pull-ups: 25, instead for show-off I had to stop at 40. And he's fu*k**g w/ number ten. I wonder if he could beat me in 3 mile run at my best time 16:23. Well Special Forces, Rangers, & SEAL couldn't. Oh well.

  • we have to do 12 in school sports...

  • Is this some guy at his house? Or maybe a Legionnaire in France or Corsica?
