Actually it could work. If crazy wife come to ask for you in FFL and you emphasize that your presence stay hidden she wouldn't get any info about you.If you are trying to hide from police/intelligence agency/crazy wife/ect forget about it. It won't work, and they can find out who you are.
From there if you wish to change your name it will be the exactly the same procedure that you would follow if you had never joined the legion.
Man, Its mother! You don't have to told her where you were, but you should inform that you are OK and Alive.Once, as a young legionnaire. ..i was called to the security officiers office. .wandering WTF now
Was Adj.G. at that time, spanish, and went on to become officier
He had recieved a fax from BSLE at Aubange. .sayiing a Scottish member of Parlement had contacted them (via the french military attaché of the french embassy / consulate, asking if i was amongst there ranks. ...it was my mother who asked him to try and find out...
Breif, was asked / ordered to write the mother a post card ,oh so dear.
He was kind of pissed off. Even said to me, "i dont need this shit. ..nor the Legion, so write her something good
Wasn't rectified, so there's an example of exceptions
Wanted to say to G...."I don't need this shit, man", but with held my desire to tell the truth
If there is one thing the Legion detests above all the others. ..is bad publicity.
Agree, but one thing is to left family behind and don't let anything blocking your way and another to go without saying anything to anyone and lets mother (father)asking themselves whether are you are alive or not."Travel light", is my motto and carry no burdens. ..no family, parents, wives or kids, freinds or souvenirs
"Me first", said, the self made man, man!
I think you are wrong there , you`ll only get "handed over " to the Police if and it would be a big if they actually found you, Interpol is different , as for ex wives and their lawyers they have no chance.If you are trying to hide from police/intelligence agency/crazy wife/ect forget about it. It won't work, and they can find out who you are.
However, if you really want to keep the identity, I remember on a previous thread we came to the conclusion that once you apply for French nationality, you can change your name to be "more French" i.e. your Legion name.
