The legion is the only place where you can pick up a new name and identity.
Like, maybe you just want to get away from your town as much as possible. So much so that you would want to go to France. |

The old legion is dead.
Entering is not so easy today. |

Are the FFL officers exclusively from the French St Cyr Military Academy? Are there any commissions granted from the ranks of foreigners?

Had a German distant relative by marriage in it. Got shot in the head in Chad in the '80s. He was a bit f..ed when he went in and was fully f..ed when he got out. Now he is a "citizen of France." Spin-off from service. They're a bit...

Topic: Here's a reason
I am a British citizen and have lived in England all my life, i dreamed of being in the Army, so when i finally turned 16, i applied - i went through the whole process..B.A.R.B (British Army Recruit Battery test), did all my assessments and then submitted my medical for which the AFCO (Armed forces careers office) send for a copy of COMPLETE medical history - from birth to present. Whe i finally received a reply from the AFCO, i was told i could not join due to 2 deliberate attempts of self harm...British Army rules and regulations state that "More than one deliberate attempt of self harm - of any kind" will permanently bar any candidate. Then i applied for the T.A. (Territorial Army) and the same applies - i am now 24 and have spent the past 8 years appealing from the SMO (Senior Medical Officer) to the Top Brass of the M.o.D (Ministry of Defense) and still had NO joy.
I have ALWAYS wanted to be in the forces - of any kind but first and foremost - The Army, even the RAF (Royal air force) have the same regulations as well as the Navy - so i have decided to apply for the French foreign legion as a "Last Resort" as i have explored every possible route that i can.

To give some that has a record of harming themselves a loaded gun is asking for trouble
