Hello everyone, I need a specific answer...
I am planning to go to the FFL preselection center in Aubagne on 10th August 2019, this is 5 days before I turn 39years old and 6 months. I know I am old and no need to elaborate on my motivation or fitness level etc. I just know I have to do it before I die.
According to this link ( http://foreignlegion.info/french-foreign-legion-age-requirements/ ) this rule exists: "The maximum age limit for joining the Foreign Legion is 39 years and 6 months. That means you have to be 39 years, 6 months and 0 days old at the maximum when you are knocking on the Legion’s gate."
Does the MAXIMUM AGE REQUIREMENT starts count once you pass the gate of the preselection center (the site says "when you are knocking on the Legion's gate" but this sounds too specific to be true) OR after they register my paperwork OR after few days of waiting OR when exactly?
If it is anything but the 1st case, how long time in advance should I go to Aubagne to give me enough time to meet the age requirements?
Thanks in advance
