    Pay

    Are the recruits paid during the initial four months of training?

    Re: Pay

    I read in my book that they get paid €40 a month in their 4 months training, then after they've finished they get paid what they should have in training. Is that not true then?

    Depends on what you consider pay. If it's financial gain, then forget it. You're not paid in money you're paid in wine and the privilege of picking grapes at Puyloubier with the Anciens, and, if the Anciens decide that you're suitable enough you may 'pay' for your stay in Aubagne and Castel by helping the local farmers cut and gather hay in the old fashioned way using scythes, as the grim reaper holds. If you are only thinking of joining for financial gain then chose another career as the Legion is not for you. But if you are still unsure ask Joshcboy to seek the answer in his book, his book has the answer to many questions.
    Joshcboy, I've tried everything, vacuum pumps, weights, creams etc, how do I gain 2" length on my member and an 1" girth? I'm sick of going for massages and the masseuse running out the room laughing when I turn onto my back for a front rub. Can your book help me?

    The book answers many questions but unfortunately it doesn't have the answer to your problem. Sorry

    Re: Pay

    If you were really lucky you used to get a bonus at Aubagne..a toothbrush and a packet of smokes each day. But with the recession and so many peeps obsessed with how many laps you can run round the local duck pond rather than how many beers you can stuff into your bergen..they might have stopped that now.
