    So i made it

    Hi everyone. I was on the forum about 6 months ago just letting you all know that I got into the Legion and am now at 2e REI. If anyone has any questions about selection or training put it on the forum and I'll try to answer. Maybe not straight away though because we are on the terrain tomorrow. Beaucoup marche, c'est nickel ici. Au revoir for now.

    Good going...Looks like Bobby Dee from the forum just finished Castel, Antee posted that he is in the Legion now too and Arnie should be in Castel training away now as well.

    Glad you made it.

    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: So i made it

    Happy for you and congratulations

    As I am planning to go dow there pretty soon myself what were your impressions of:

    a) selection process how many did not make it and what were the reasons in your oppinion;

    b) basic training,

    c) the thing that puzzles me the most what happens once you get to your regiment, do you get retrained, or given instruction regarding the regiment's or company's special role (does the 2REI has similar brakedown to 2REP like urban warfare etc.)?

    Take your time answereing I actually do not expect much just bits of fresh info here and there so that I can know better what to expect and how to stay?

    At the moment I am studying French and reading field manuals
