Hi, my name is Dan, I will be 33 years old this month and from august I began to think about joining the French Foreign Legion.
I have been studying http://www.legion-recrute.com and http://foreignlegion.info websites. On youtube I estimate that I watched over 200 videos about the Legion and I keep searching for others to watch. On the internet I have read a lot of articles about the Legion and for over a month I spend 10-15 minutes a day on this forum reading new and old topics.
Last month I started the dental implant procedure for a missing tooth and I hope to finish with the implant by March. At the end of March, early April, I would like to be in Aubagne. I have time to physically prepare myself until then. Now I can do 7 pull ups and level 8 at Luc-Léger test, but I will train to be able to do over 15 pull ups and over level 10 at Luc-Léger test.
I consider myself lucky that one of my best friends did 7.5 years in the Legion, from 2003 until 2011, he was part of 2e REI and 2e REG and in his last year as a legionnaire he became sergeant. He told me stories and gave me advice, but at Aubagne it totally depends on me to convince them that am I worth to become a legionnaire. He laughs at me knowing what awaits me if I'm accepted and he recommends me to go only if I'm 100% sure I want to go, because will be many moments when I will want to quit and I must have something strong to motivate me to go forward.
