Hi everybody !

happy to be member of this forum !
I'm pastor and I was chaplain in the French Foreign Legion for ten years between 1992 and 2002. I use to visit (pastoraly) 2eREP in Calvi, 4eRe in Castelnaudary, 2eREG. And I was with the Legion in Djibouti, Tchad, CentreAfrique, Sarajevo (twice, 1995-96, 1997).
My office was in Aubagne (COMLE).
Actually, I'm Acupuncturist working in my clinic in Aubagne.

Welcome Padre, i remember your predecessor at Calvi. He was not to enamoured with my crèche de Noël as I placed the baby Jesus and his entourage inside an empty case of Kronenbourg. I have now repented and in my defence it was the Jews that made me do it.

Woaow... Welcome aboard mon Père... The standing of the forum has suddenly made a significant step forward. If we have a Chaplain now, what it will be in the future ? The COMLE registering to the board to police the whole stuff ? Let's be careful guys...

Given the ages of some of us, GLE may be more appropriate to police it LOL:)

Hello from an ex legionnaire who spent 10 years in the Legion from 1992 - 2002.

Also living in Aubagne ;) I knew a good pastor in the legion "He had a beard, a goatee if I remember correctly" and he liked changing dollars into Francs LOL..... Those were the days in the Foyer in 1°RE..

Cpl K...

PS: Nice place the Résidence Grand Cèdre ;)

Welcome to this forum Padre, I have tried in vain to reform these heathens and they drove me nuts! (in the Legion and on this forum) Maybe you will have better luck. :D

We are all beyond reform. The best thing to do is keep us in alchohol and surrounded by the ladies.
