    Ex Legionnaire

    because I did not come out combinations in civilian life, and most of the time I was a soldier, I think about heading home, that in the Foreign Legion franceza.la my 32 years I do not think too many chances to be accepted, but still you try sheep.

    what I do not understand is why there Ex Legionnaire?

    retired?

    have Temine first contract for 5 years and have not continued?
    Why did this? not worth it?

    deserted?

    do not get me wrong, I do not want to criticize anyone, just want to know if the system has flaws recruitment.

    That's because I want to go and do not want to be rejected my fault.

    I am Romanian and please excuse my written English.

    Thank you!

    Re: Ex Legionnaire

    Well, let me try to "translate". You say you're life did not went as well as you hoped to, welcome in the club, and that you will try to join the Legion Etrangere (Legiunea Straina), despite the fact that you're 32 years old.
    Ex-legionnaire's are those who served and finished their contract with the French Foreign Legion. On this forum they are those who have their name's in green (Mr. Voltigeur, Cpl K is also ex-legionnaire and forum moderator so they're nick name is in red).

    Now the important thing, whatever reason these ex-legionnaire's have to leave the Legion it's not something for everyone to know. It's called personal reason.

    If you have trouble understanding my written english I'm more than happy to reply in romanian, hungarian and german. Of course via private message.

    Perhaps you could translate for us the part about trying sheep?
    You never know until you try.

    well as far as I know if you don't have chances to be accepted by women you try sheep. Or at least that's what the guys from the REP told me....

    And to give some serious input too: Everyone has their own reasons to either leave or stay after their 5 years.

    The question about sheep comes up in your gestapo interview Grimm. The answer you give, and reasons for that answer could determine if you get in and where you end up in the Legion. I can't believe you don't know that one...

    Well I'm a Scot, so to put it mathematically.. Sheep + Cliff > Dog + Peanut Butter

    But remember kids, bestiality is baaaaaaaaad.

    And with that I've most likely completely derailed the thread, so my advance apologies to the OP
