Guys who really plan to join don't usually make a number out of it.



I remember we were discussing the possibility while I was in army. Some wanted to join to see real action - note that we, thank God, in FIN don't see real action.
No one I know actually went there as far as I know. Though FIN has had relatively strong representation in LE.

The french foreign legion fought beside us (Canadian Army) at Battle of Medak Pocket Croatia, very solid unit stayed and fought all 3 days... I can't say the same for other French Units!

But Canada is just a little brother of USA. Most Americans think that president of Canada is Mr. Oubama haha

France at least has its own soul and not always mimicking yankee.

Yes.
I heard from my friends that many Soviet soldiers went there after their country broke up and they found themselves left abroad alone, without support, without wages etc. (Imagine American soldiers in Afghanistan one day just receive a message "USA no more exists - you're fired. Good luck"
Sick stuff  :-[

Good way to start it all over again.

I thought about the Legion too when i was 31 ( they take you up to 40, if you are fit and with Military experience although after 35 itīs harder). I phoned their Office in strasbourg which is just over the German border. I spoke to a brit on the phone who was ex Brit army and was 15 years in the Legions Cavalry Regt. He told me itīs nothing special and was ok and told me the score what happens. I was fit enough because i ran a lot and know how to prepare for such things. Their running test at that time was 7 rounds of a running track in if i remember right in 12 mins so itīs 2,800 metres. I think now itīs a beep test starts slow and each level gets faster. I think if you are in the US then join your own Army, Rangers, there is enough good trained units and in the UK too. I have heard the Legions organisation is not good and i remember i asked the Brit on the phone about the Brutality thing..Long Pause... he then said,"they stopped all that in ī84. Well only one way to find out Men... me i am happy livin life. ;D

why do people even consider the ffl when theres options to be a mercenary?

 The ffl used to ignore your identity so when you joined if you were a wanted man or just needed to disappear it was a decent place to go start over without having to hide everyday. I don`t know if they do that anymore but I would bet they don`t ask many questions as long as you pass their physical tests.

interesting.

whats the salary?

I do not know what they get paid now, they have a web site. I think you are correct most ex soldiers can get good paid jobs now. When i first spoke to the Guy he said , "yeah you wonīt see your Family for 2 years".. then later in our conversation he said you would get leave sooner, so really itīs hard to say. He did also say they take single guys before married guys and if you were married you have to change your name. hey galeniko donīt do it Bro.. ;D I only thought about it as i was having a rough time then and wanted to fuck off. glad now i never because of my kids. Although i do think if i was not married with kids i would have went. I would have liked the Brotherhood that they embrace. Anyway we need you here , this is the getbig Legion... ;)

FFS pays 1000Euro/month.

...and most private mercenary groups only hire people with previous military experience.

Post by: Psychopath on October 21, 2012, 08:08:38 AM
thats quite bad.not as bad as 20usd a month like it was for yugoswlav army during balkan wars, though.

is it true that the ffl will make sure your criminal record is deleted?

i dont see that as viable option anymore these days, bc even with new identity, dna and fingerprints still remain the same.

or is that criminal record forgiven thing a fairytale anyway?

and how much do private contractors get?


They will take you in if you're not a fugitive for a major crime like murder, rape and things of that sort(They cross-check your name with interpol). Once you're in, they give you a temporary new name. After serving 5 years, you can get a French citizenship with a clean criminal record.

So essentially, you'd become a French citizen with a clean criminal record and can do as you wish within France. If your country of origin allows for dual-citizenship, then you can keep both passports, if not, then you choose between your country of origin or France.


PMC (Private Military Companies) AKA mercenary groups, pay a very high salary in most cases. On average, you can be making 150K-200K for various international missions, most commonly now in Iraq, Afghanistan, and other messy hot zones around the world.
