It seems like most people do 2 years and then switch, is this usually how it works or is it just a coincidence?
Not sure there's any firm rule. I've heard of legionnaires spending 90% or more of their career in the same regiment, even some that did more that the 5-year initial contract. I guess if you don't ask to change, you will remain in the same regiment, but that's only a guess. Former legionnaires could comment on this.It seems like most people do 2 years and then switch, is this usually how it works or is it just a coincidence?
The word banane in French does exist outside the Legion and simply means... banana. For some mysterious reasons, in Legion slang, a banane is a blunder or a f*ck up and a bananier (banana tree) is a legionnaire producing a lot of... bananes, voluntarily, or not.(...) If you are not a total banane (and don't worry, that word does not exist outside of the Legion and the locals will look at you wild eyed and wonder what on earth you are talking about). (...)
Mysteries of the Legion... Like fumer un cigare (smoking a cigar) meaning receiving a roasting from your superior...(...) Even me, understanding it as fruit, I am perplexed on how it made its way into the Legion hall of fame for F*CK ups.
I think I can answer for 666, he said he was going after. Now believe it or not this is the best thing that can happen to him. Before you go on these courses you get what is called la note de gueule. Basically this translates to what your superiors think about you. What kind of courses you have done. What missions etc. Vigi and his company courses and then Opex, all mean he's off to a good start.DCLXVI, are you doing your Cpl course before or after your Opex?
When you get made Cpl is there a ceremony of sorts? If you wouldn't mind, do you think you could post some pictures on the forum of it?BOARD/FORUM
Believe me, there is far more to me that only select men know and behind the scenes on this forum, and it is need to know, so you know what that means. Joseph is correct, I am going after. It is the best thing for me, too. Because I will have more merits, more experience and possibly do something very noble in the line of duty. It is certainly better for me and will read well upon review and before stage.
USMCRET is correct too. I am all your hard case, or whatever you want me to be to you. But like USMCRET says, sometimes reading my post has most of your dick skinners covering up your tiny cum receptacles. Put 'em down and open your ear balls!
Aside from that, as I said, only a hand full get the pleasure. I don't need to name names. For the rest, keep holding your breath, hell, you are blue here already, your heads are all about to explode.
Hi USMCRET, does that mean that in the USMC (or generally speaking in the US armed forces), a corporal is considered an NCO? Not the case in the French military. A caporal is still considered an homme du rang (or rather, a militaire du rang, MDR, now there are women in the Army). Even caporaux-chefs (caporaux is the plural for caporal) are still, technically speaking, MDR, although those with a number of years of service can have some prerogatives normally reserved for NCOs. The NCO category starts at Sergent that would be the equivalent of Sergeant (pay grade E5) in the US Army.(...) when you become a Marine Corps Corporal you receive your “Blood Stripesâ€. (...) You have been Blood Stripped, you are now properly a Marine Corps Non-commissioned Officer!
They want you to spend at least 2 years in company combat then obtain a specialty now jobs have changed since my time but transmissions (communications) you were treated pretty good specifically if you transfer to CCS.It seems like most people do 2 years and then switch, is this usually how it works or is it just a coincidence?
