Is it a good idea to say youre joining the Legion to get a Fench Visa? Or should you flat out lie and say Tourism?
As Volt said, there's probably no definite answer to that question. Probably depends whether or not guy in embassy where you asking for visa likes or hates army, unless there is some decree by French government which obliged them to give visa easier for guys wanting to join FFL. But I highly doubt in that because there would be many of those who would abuse that. Saying they want to join, but actually have no intention to do that.Is it a good idea to say youre joining the Legion to get a Fench Visa? Or should you flat out lie and say Tourism?
Neither! If you are truly interested in joining the legion be up front and say so! Bullshit is not going to get you anywhere!Is it a good idea to say youre joining the Legion to get a Fench Visa? Or should you flat out lie and say Tourism?

Dude, your military's top sh$t, you Phillipinos get to see a lot of combat (compared to us Indonesia)and regularly train with American SOF. You shouldve joined when you were below the cut out age.Well Caporal I will be 30 this November. I am not going to join the Legion for now because I need the funds to get to France.
I wanted to join our local military when I was younger but I fell into a bad place and was over the maximum age to enlist. Age limit for our military to enlist is 26.
Also Gurkhas and Filipinos, I would say we are better than Gurkhas. They may have Kukris but our units are drilled better I think with close combat martial arts.

Stella were you alive during the period of what we British call 'Indonesian Confrontation' ? Your troops were pretty good confronting our RM commandos and Gurkhas. Google 'Claret Raids' in which my old unit participated.Dude, your military's top shit, you Phillipinos get to see a lot of combat (compared to us Indonesia)and regularly train with American SOF.

Well said that man.Gurkhas have historically a magnificent martial record. Filipinos individually are fine fighters. Also their Marine Corps is good. However when in close combat there is little or no use for martial arts. Finally according to Soldier Magazine the British Gurkhas have won several British Army all comers martial arts competitions.
A senior moment on my part. Stella Mella was of course not even born in those days of President Sukarno. A vicious little jungle war. SBS took a prominent part. My chum SBS won the MC.Well said that man.
