    At least this guy is honest and is telling HIS experience and not just what he thinks. That is more than 99% of the viewers can say. Thanks Viking for posting vids about the experience as I am sure many of us are wondering and thinking about joining ourselves.

    Nice to see young people having interest to join la Légion Étrangere. Served for 7 years (sorry if my english is not very good) in the 3ème REI, quite a long time ago, I am 46 y/o now. If you acheive your Képi Blanc and serve la Légion, you will never forget it. ex légio Legio Patria Nostra.

    I guess it's a bit late, but still - Each contract you sign in legion demands that you serve atleast 5 years. so yeah if you get accepted you could sign another contract when the first one finishes and therefore will be able to serve for 10 years

    Michel, I've compared these knobbers to people who have studied karate for 5 months and earned their yellow belt. If the viking then opened a dojo with himself as instructor who would join? It's the same as the Viking giving advice about something he knows fuck all about. 5 months of joining, going through interviews and then BASIC training does not make you a legionnaire and it certainly does not give you the right to give advice.

Then he will have a VERY boring 3 months before he gets to regiment. It'll be at this point where he will be able to buy a phone and get into contact with you.

    Hi there, thanks for the very interesting and up to date video regarding the selection process. My biggest concern, i was hoping you might be answer, is to do with eye tests taken. I have a slight colour problem and was wondering if you know what colour tests are involved? did you encounter anyone with this problem. I was on the website and it mentioned it depends if you want to become a paratrooper or commando. If you fail the colour book with numbers another test is taken called a lantern test which determines how bad it is

    grunt moab you get paid while you are there, they don't hand it to you until you are Red. But if discharged they will pay you what you are owed in cash. (Blue is around 30-40€/day and Red is 50€/day). So depending on how long you last you will have a fair amount but they want you to spend it in shops and on gear.

    Unfortunately Miguel, nowadays you can ask to go at the end of basic training. This is not a good thing because it draws wasters like the Viking to the legion. In his case he was kicked out of the Canadian army. He was not up to the rigors required to be a legionnaire. So he went crying to his chef de section and begged to leave. He then decided to try and justify not making the grade by doing crappy KZread videos. A right royal waster.

The third one was kicked out for fighting with one of the slavs (and the cold war lives on! :p). I did meet a few more later though. During Training however i was the only candidate who was from North America, and one of 3 native English speakers. Others spoke english, but as a second language.

    I went to Marseille Aubagne last Week, when i was there, i had not the Courage to go in. The long lonely journey gives me to much Time, to think about it. Also the "Problem" that i had to much People at Home, who don´t supported my choice. It´s a big different to think "I go for 5 Years and join" than really doing it and be completely alone and away from everything. The thing isn´t over for me..., for sure. But if You go, be more than sure and from the first Step You do in the direction of the Legion, let everything behind. All thoughts that can hold You back.

You will run many, many kilometers, i was extremely unprepared for the amount of running, and not just that, the terrain in which you will run on. I survived, not without much teeth-grinding and a constant flow of obscenities from my mouth though. It will just be a little harder if you cant keep up.

    I don't believe i've once called myself a legionnaire in my videos, however i have information that people want and am willing to share it. Personally, i have zero interest in anything to do with the legion, just thought i'd give back to the community. I truly appreciate your concern though.

    If you are able to perform and show little signs of it, i would avoid mentioning it and see what happens. Worst case scenario is that you are accepted and then the problem arises later on and they send you home.

    It really is like that until you have passed regimental training. So approximately 6 months until it gets better and more relaxed.

    Reza you are out of the loop. The FFL hasn't taken anyone with a serious criminal record for years now since the late eighties. You can't join the legion if you have a bad criminal record. They overlook petty crimes but not major ones. With so many applicants they can afford to be super choosy on who they take. And NEVER LIE to them as they have an amazing intelligence network. They will expose your lies and they will definitely not take you on.

    Zakalon is 100% correct. Petty offenses are forgiven (unless they are drug related, sorry no druggies in the Legion) but not only are serious offenses not forgiven they WILL make it a point to call Interpol if you have any outstanding arrest warrants (and they do check). So if you are fleeing justice, do not think the legion will offer you refuge.

    Actually that is not true anymore, the Legion is highly selective. Only 1 out 7 applicants gets his kepi...I seriously doubt the British Army is that selective.
