As someone said in an other thread in summer time are a lot of wannabees that see the selection as a suplimentar income after they spent all their moneys.That is not general but are few that act like that. And there are another category of ppl that even if they become rouge ask for going civil because they don`t fit in.I don`t remember who said here about a corvee that had to do ,in that time he found usselles to clean some flowers from dust but afterall he understood that a soldier have to learn to obey and execute the order receiwed whitout questionig why i have to do that or that.I will personally try in september or october next year. It will be cold and wet but this is not o problem.In my opinion autum-winter is a period with not so much wannabees.Not so many want to taste the mud.An important factor that they want to see from you is your commitement if you gonna be a legionaire.And offcourse another important factor is the luck that you have once in. If , hipoteticaly you are let`s say russian and in that day have been accepted 15 russians it`s probably that you will get an inapt temporaire.But as you rememberred Alex L. he was the exception that confirm the rulle.He wake up in an morning and meet some folks who told him about legion , and the rest is history.I personally know a man who tried in March 2006.He became rouge but asked to go civil.He told my after that that the legion is not for him. He was a member of his board , Misu.A lot of ppl like i saw recently some kids on this board think that they must be accepted because they are good at sports , have some college degrees , good health , etc; and they are the chosen ones.Misu`s cousin who now is in 2`eme REG before legion was a simple peasant , who once heard about legion.No college degree , martial art skills and so on.If you go to the selection and told them pick me because i`m the best motherfucker that your army saw you will be rejected from the start.You have to ask yourself and after that give the answer: Why the legion will accept me? Ppl have to understand that in selection time they are just some clay and the legion decide if it`s possible to be modeled/adapted by the legion needs.If they are not then subject clossed.If they succeed and became legionaires it will be a great adventure , for some the height of their existences but also a lot of work , work and work again. But is worthing.
