I have read some of the now closed entries on the last Foreign Legion forum and realised that nobody there had actually served in the legion. Well, I have, 5 years, and I'll be happy to answer questions.

1.have you some problems when you return your homeland?

2. I heard that in france legionnaires dont have good reputation, is it tru?

please, answer my question if you be able

1) No unless you've actually fought against your home country while in the Legion. The Legion allows you to not deploy to fight against your own people.

2) Apparently it's still notoriously racist but they don't allow for people with serious criminal records and prefer people with no criminal records.

and

according to statistics one legionnaire of ten dies in combat, is it tru nowdays? or is it old statistics?

Well, I have no idea but I have a strong feeling that it is a very old statistic.

Question No1.....No

Question No2.....As all Regiments are based in the south of France,except for 2eme REP, Calvi Corsica, and 13 DBL (Djibouti),the locals are used to seeing Legionnaires it doesn't bother them

If anyone has any question about joining or general questions about the Legion I will only be happy to oblige. Jsoholt who has not been on for three weeks or answered my messages , seems as if he may not come back, but I will be on here regular, so if I can help I will. Merci

Good to have you here.
