@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.

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...

@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.

@pigeonpsycho i have read up on it a lot, did not know that they post someone who wants infantry behind a desk that is bullshit.....

@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.

@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.

@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 Because people realize you spend 90% of the time cleaning instead of becoming some super solider.

@pigeonpsycho if its such a cake walk why do they have the highest desertion rate of any military unit on the planet.
