It might help if you elaborated on the injuries, otherwise you probably will get "BULLSHIT".
Welcome to the forum and have a nice day too.

It would depend on how those wounds were received ie during a police shootout and what kind of damage they may have done to your internal organs.

Hehehehe where do I start ?? OK guy, for a start you will have to be more specific :confused:
What type of wound is it? A wound from doing the garden i.e. pricking you finger on a thorn, drive by shooting, stab wound ? Until you explain then no answer:p;)

You got a huge mouth for a first question!!! Just take the plane to France and you can find out for yourself just like all of us did.
Ah... And before I forget: no, they do not accept people with recent bullet wounds!!

A tendon was cut in my right hand by one of those old fashion shaving blades that fold open, I don't know the name (cause of this the tip of my index finger has now bowed in).
A bottle in the other caused just as much harm in the other hand. An axe in the left hand shoulder blade when I was deployed into Indonesia.
Punctured lung in the past from a knife when i was young
and three bullet wounds that this guy I know was recently involved in.
The other small cuts and broken bones that i have had in the past am not to worried about. I also have a large surfing gang tatoo that I think they will not accept me for.
The scar that never healed was the 2nd degree burn on my lower back.

Soooo?!?! Do you think this is some kind of preliminary selection place? From what I read of your description you are a flipping wreck that will have nothing to do in the Legion. However, nobody can judge your physical or mental state based upon your own and maybe clumsy and probably distorted description on the internet.
There is only one way to find out, take the plane, travel to France and join the place.

As Flash said - "Lucky"... LOL

Besides anything else going on with history and criminal records (if any) that Stoeng may be able to advise about, the fact of the matter is that if you have scar tissue that won't heal, the spiders and creepy crawlies in most Outre Mer postings will just see you as a lunch box and eat you from the inside out with weeks of your arrival.

You'll be spending most of your contract fighting off potential infections in the infirmary by the sounds of it - and a sick soldier is an expensive soldier.

Not being cruel here - but it sounds as if you've already seen your fair share of excitement in this life . Why not train as an accountant or undertaker or something?
