Good luck Comando, hopefully I'll be joining you next year.

Can a young man with a small criminal history in the U.S. join the Legion? This young man needs total structure in his life.

Answer is yes. If he meets the Legion criteria he'll be taken if he committed only minor offences.

If I decide to go, it will be in December of this year or, if not then, possibly in December of next year. If I don't go this December, it's unlikely that I ever will, though. I haven't made up my mind yet. I'm waiting to see how things turn out over the next 6 months.

2REP, 5RMP, 1RE, honourable discharge. Je ne regrette rien

Who are the ones that got rejected? Could these persons please give some advice on how to act and behave, what to do, and don't do during selection?

And when are you going back?

If it's war you can bet yer ass there's gonna be a draft... we're spread too thin as it is.
Anyway, if I CAN join the Legion I WILL join the Legion. Mark my words.

This administration is just fine thank you. It's better than if Al "invented the internet" Gore or Joe "2 wives/divorced" Lieberman were in office.

You want action gentlemen? Join the U.S. Army, there is plenty more to go around than in the Legion.

... I couldn't agree more provided that you can join the U.S military.....

But I don't think it's an easy life in legion! Anyway, I would like to join it after four years

Yeah, some of us considered that, but then again, when you ain't an american, you'll have to apply for an immigration-permit, and then, you have to prove that you can be american enough to join the US armed forces... Then the legion is much easier...

I thought about that, I got pensioned out after taking a round and shrapnel in Beirut, that did not stop me from serving elsewhere though.

I have a sneking suspicion that EagleEye might know me, as one of the lunatics in the 6eme at Corté. There were only a few English and a Yank (hmm where are you Pendragon?) there.

**Voivod** · 21st January 2006, 01:00

No plans of joining (any more).

**Tibrys** · 22nd January 2006, 00:26

Im going for a try in the Foreign Legion in August... im traning for it.
Im marsching for the moment 3k with a pack of 35 kg. and adding weight and range of the marsh every month..

Can anyone here, please give me a good traningprogram to follow?

Follow this mate.

Run, pressups, run, chins, run, dips, run, situps, run, swim, run.

There will be loads of (proper) training advice on this site mate. Use the search facility. Whatever you do build it up slowly. Dont f*ck yourself up by getting injured. Make sure you are comfortable running and good at bodyweight exercises i.e pressups, chins, dips and sit ups etc.

Good luck mate.
