    Exclamation In the Dark, But couldn't be more excited

    I am in total darkness at the moment everyone about the Legion, I have heard the up's and Down's of them. Done my own research with the limited resources I found on the net. Which basically told me what i need to get there, and some training if im accepted but not much else. I have a few concerns before taking my trip in 4 weeks i would like to try get a few vague answers for them if possible, other wise i'm just going to go.

    1. I have one Tattoo on my low portion of my arm.
    2. Seeking advice about anything to advance my knowlege for Enlistment

    Recruit INFORMATION

    Age:20 / Male / 5'11 / 155

    5k run - 15:34 <---- Is this a decent time to begin with for training

    Your trying to say that you can run 5000m in 15 minutes and 34 seconds ???

    Before to get in the legion you had to do at least 2800 meters in 12 minutes, which is not that easy.

    So you in 12 minutes you can do nearly 4000 meters, why the legion go to the Olympics

    0 0:00:00
    500 1:33:00
    1000 3:06:00
    1500 4:39:00
    2000 6:12:00
    2500 7:45:00
    3000 9:18:00
    3500 10:51:00
    4000 12:24:00
    4500 13:57:00
    5000 15:30:00

    It is the soldier, not the priest, who protects freedom of religion; the soldier, not the journalist, who protects freedom of speech. History teaches that a society that does not value its warriors will be destroyed by a society that does

    Re: In the Dark, But couldn't be more excited

    OK tattoo advice already given.

    If you do really run 5000m in 15’:34” there is no whatsoever reason for starting training (they will take you on the spot).

    What is your next worry?

    Next worry is that will he stick out like a sore prick ? Since for the same reason he in the military would be excused shorts as it might embarass the Colonel's wife. Better than bed wetting tho.

    Wish I could run 5k in 15:34.... get me a different job I'd say...
    Do what thy manhood bids thee do, from none but self expect applause;
    He noblest lives and noblest dies who makes and keeps his self-made laws.
