[@slavyslav]

I’m a 17 year old American who’s legit half tempted to do a legion workout plan to prepare for the legion in a year, go off the deep end, and reappear a legionary. Sure I could go to the Air Force as a linguist or the Marines, but the thrill of the legion is too hard to resist lol

[@johantoreld3419]

I would say join the marines and run with them for a few years and move on to the legion. You will have an advantage that way. And the legion isnt going anywhere.

Johan Toreld i mean that sounds fair. But tbh I kinda wanted to go the Air Force first because I wanted to enter the military as a linguist and travel the world and it’s easier to do both in the Air Force but hey you never know

[@fabgeronimo6596]

Un pouce levé pour toutes tes vidéos, BraVo Base, parce qu'elles sont sympas, parce qu'elles montrent des cotés de la FFL très attirants et qu'on ne retrouve pas beaucoup sur KZbin. Les bons cotés ! comme quoi mêmes les légionnaires savent prendre du bon temps lors de certaines opérations. Mais bon, qu'on ne s'y trompe pas, la vie d'un légionnaire à la base c'est de faire la guerre, tout le temps la guerre sous un régime de spartiate ... et quand il ne fait pas la guerre c'est entrainement, nettoyage, entrainement, nettoyage et etc alors quand certains internautes font part de leur toute nouvelle motivation je me dis qu'il va y avoir des déceptions. Et pour certains carrément des humiliations. Dans n'importe quel corps d'armée, régiments ou autre,à vocation terrain (le combat) de n'importe quel pays du monde il faut être bien fait et en bonne santé, alors pour la légion il faut être très bien fait et avoir une très bonne santé. Ceux qui réussissent à entrer ne sont pas le genre à tirer au flanc en général donc les petits maux de tête suspects il n'a pas du y en avoir beaucoup. Est ce que je me trompe, BraVo Base ? En tout cas tu as tout mon respect et je te souhaite le meilleur pour ton avenir. Apparemment on peut tous être optimiste à ton sujet car si j'ai bien compris il y a beaucoup d'opportunités en sortant de la légion, d'ailleurs si tu pouvais nous en dire plus ça serait sympa !

[@bravobase6801]

Merci mec. Je continuerai à publier des vidéos et répondrai aux questions du mieux que je pourrai. Je vais aussi éventuellement commencer à publier des vidéos de ma vie en dehors de la légion. J'ai fait du travail de sécurité sur les navires, on m'a proposé du travail en Irak. J'ai des amis qui sont actuellement en Irak. il y a beaucoup d'opportunités après la légion .. les gens qui pensent qu'un mal de tête les fera se reposer ne méritent pas d'être dans la légion et n'y entreront pas ..

[@fabgeronimo6596]

Remarkble video, how far the legion takes medical problems seriously that are not visivble? for example if someone has headache,feels weak and feels bad do the commanders let him rest or force him to work?

[@bravobase6801]

Well for a headache or some crap like that, they will call you a faggot give you a kick in the ass and tell you to drink water. However if you have a genuine illness or injury you can consult and go to the infirmary. People who consult too often are often seen as snakes and you will have a miserable life there after as your commanding officers will see you as a misfit and your fellow legionnaires will also look down on you because of how you will be having it easy in the infirmary doing Jack shit and them getting drilled fucked up. During basic training you won't get rest and its best to just push through..

[@Holydecipher]

that question alone is way off the spirit of the Legion. Your officers and sergeants will know if you are sick or unwilling. They will find out if your "sickness" is lethal or not. If it's not, your back to work. If you don't want to work hard for the Legion (LPN), your out.

Just stay active alot of running, dont worry about lifting weights and shit just concentrate on your running pushups and pull ups as well as sit ups. When you join dont give too much information about yourself. Tell them what they ask you. If they ask what your plan B is if you dont get in, tell them you dont have a plan B the Legion is what you need. Dont worry about learning French before hand. You will learn once you're in.
