French Foreign Legion Selection 2017

[@206wildcard]

At least this guy is honest and is telling HIS experience and not just what he thinks. That is more than 99% of the viewers can say. Thanks Viking for posting vids about the experience as I am sure many of us are wondering and thinking about joining ourselves.

[@nickomplejo]

Nice to see young people having interest to join la Légion Étrangere. Served for 7 years (sorry if my english is not very good) in the 3ème REI, quite a long time ago, I am 46 y/o now. If you acheive your Képi Blanc and serve la Légion, you will never forget it. ex légio Legio Patria Nostra.

[@garotogaivota14]

How many years can you serve at the FFL? I'm planning to go to France once I finished college (just in case I fail the admission) , and if I can actually join it, if I can serve for 10+ years would be very rewarding

[@chez9044]

I guess it's a bit late, but still - Each contract you sign in legion demands that you serve atleast 5 years. so yeah if you get accepted you could sign another contract when the first one finishes and therefore will be able to serve for 10 years

[@sol3cito33]

40

Why so much hate? He's been there for 5 months and he is talking about his expereince in those 5 months. He is not talking like if he was a veteran, just giving advice for the ones who want to join and want to know what to expect in the beggining

[@lordlucan7655]

Not Another video from someone who didn't even get to a regiment ... Stop Stop Stop please ... I could make a video about flying a Boeing 747 because I once went on one ?

[@josephcosgroveF4fl]

Michel, I've compared these knobbers to people who have studied karate for 5 months and earned their yellow belt. If the viking then opened a dojo with himself as instructor who would join? It's the same as the Viking giving advice about something he knows fuck all about. 5 months of joining, going through interviews and then BASIC training does not make you a legionnaire and it certainly does not give you the right to give advice.

You can choose to go civil when you finish your time at Castel and you have your interview with the Colonel in Aubange.

Chunk Yogurt if he's been gone for 6 weeks then he sound be in his first week of the farm.

[@hewesy7265]

Chunk Yogurt he should do great in their unless he gets injured. The Kepi March is done at the end of his time at the Farm. So in 3 weeks time he will have his Kepi Blanc and be back at Castel. Then he will have a VERY boring 3 months before he gets to regiment. It'll be at this point where he will be able to buy a phone and get into contact with you.

Ok no large sums of cash or credit card, ok my question is if I DON'T make it how am I suppose to get back to u.s., I know with 300 or 400 won't be enough for a one-way ticket to america so how would it workout the Plan B????

[@osarscott9173]

grunt moab you get paid while you are there, they don't hand it to you until you are Red. But if discharged they will pay you what you are owed in cash. (Blue is around 30-40€/day and Red is 50€/day). So depending on how long you last you will have a fair amount but they want you to spend it in shops and on gear.

[@hewesy7265]

Desertion is the most likely reason.

[@josephcosgroveF4fl]

Unfortunately Miguel, nowadays you can ask to go at the end of basic training. This is not a good thing because it draws wasters like the Viking to the legion. In his case he was kicked out of the Canadian army. He was not up to the rigors required to be a legionnaire. So he went crying to his chef de section and begged to leave. He then decided to try and justify not making the grade by doing crappy KZbin videos. A right royal waster.

[@hewesy7265]

Joseph Cosgrove it doesn't matter. He made it through the Farm and Castel. If he decided it wasn't for him then that is his choice.

Just for anyone, who think it’s easy to get in and Legion needs people badly - it’s not true, they cut down numbers and have more than enough applicants. I went to enlist in autumn of 2000. I did prepare for six month(running, swimming, working out). Some of the things this guy was saying are matching my experience, but some don’t. Anyway it’s been 20 years. Definitely prepare before you go, and have good running shoes, legion would provide if you don’t, but quality will be poor, have rubber slippers for shower, you won’t be given any and you’ll have to stay in line waiting for your turn to take shower and it will be cold.

@ Littlest.Vicking why did you only last 5 months?

[@minhtungoan7690]

i have 2 questions 1. The guy with glasses has any chance there? 2. I'm not good on running so if i just reach lv7 on luc leger is that ok? or i have to try more than that Thanks you

[@Littlest.Viking]

1A. Glasses will be seen as a liability, it will not however completely bar you entry, especially if you are a fit candidate in all other areas. 2A. Yes, 7 will be enough to pass the Luc Legere. You will run many, many kilometers, i was extremely unprepared for the amount of running, and not just that, the terrain in which you will run on. I survived, not without much teeth-grinding and a constant flow of obscenities from my mouth though. It will just be a little harder if you cant keep up. I personally scored 13 pullups and 9 on the Luc Legere.

[@minhtungoan7690]

thank you very much for your answer. Also, my height is 1m65, is there any problem about that. once again, thank you

[@Littlest.Viking]

Height is no problem. You are welcome.

[@josephcosgroveF4fl]

Viking you are an inspiration to us all. And yet the idea of going to a regiment put the shits up you so much you begged to go home. Is it true that you cried real tears when you got back to Aubagne so that they would let you go home to mom's home made apple pie?

[@hewesy7265]

If I was you I would train so you can hit 3k on the cooper test. It is over the requirement and will put you in good stead for your time going forward.

[@jasonvictor7681]

Cameroon Cajun , And your advice is foolish.

[@wambooislustigram5789]

its based on the country you came from and how much they are intrested in youre story and if they believe you or not. But to be honest mental healt issues and army get well and have a good life. You have problems after you served why doing this again? You risk in the worst case youre comrads life. If you as example have flashbacks and run crazy. You know what iam talking?

[@dloyfwaymeather977]

Before I watch your video I want to express somethings maybe I am not going to make sense but the point I wish to make is I have had the dream of the legion since around 14 or 15 I am an American the man who partly raised me my Dad was a Marine Reserve I knew somehow of the Legion from where I cant recall I actually lived in New York at 15 july-august in section 8 hotels awaiting permanent housing my Mom was a drug addict at the time she gave up when she learned the wait is years and we left back home to Colorado a month before 9/11 and as I was the last to leave home of my siblings I was somewhat lost my grades low all I had was a passion for basketball skateboarding and weightlifting I was always akward wt the girls but did ok so my Dad ( not blood) pops back into the picture takes me to El Paso Texas eventually realizing he is lost in a rundown city and up and leaves to Philladelphia leaving me a apartment and a food stamp card I never took up weed till this year but boy did I so soon after I met a person connected and he introduces me into selling weed giving me my first pound I set out and did well this began my criminality mind you I even worled went to school and sold together I did well for a kid on his own I had nobody though I was young and felt lost I eventually left ended up in CO went on a string of robberies and landed myself in the system I repeated the same things and in prison I dreamed I could do this one day become a Legionaire redeem myself... now I am 31 in a mansion under a bunch of pillows alone in my bed by a window overlooking a street my house sits atop a hill in a very nice part of town I am still in crime have a job took in my older brother etc. I just want to be a good man I am not trying to be badass just do my best I want to get away.

i think i will join this january 2019 see you there brother if you go.

[@lorenzoward946]

If your crimes are related to dope dealing, there’s a very good chance they’ll reject you. Just think about it as they will find out. Otherwise a hard upbringing is a feather in your cap. Give it a go.

[@CptConqueror]

I have a normal life in Sweden. Family, job, apartment etc. If I join FFL and pass the selection, will I then have time to deal with those things? If I fail selection, then I dont want to have quitted my job, got rid of my home etc. How does it work? If I go to france, I will need my phone, creditcard etc in order to get there. Will I get it back after the selection if I succed? If I fail? Is it even legal to take my personal belongings? Thank you for answers!

[@miguelsoares8606]

dude 5 ridiculous months, and you cal yourself a legionary. Ok you got your Capy Blanc..but pls don't call yourself a legionary. i guess you didn't have the balls to make the 5 years contract and be a real man. So please stop the fantasise like you know the real deal..

[@Littlest.Viking]

I don't believe i've once called myself a legionnaire in my videos, however i have information that people want and am willing to share it. Personally, i have zero interest in anything to do with the legion, just thought i'd give back to the community. I truly appreciate your concern though.

[@newenglandfb3995]

[@josephcosgroveF4fl]

Gdhh Codswallop, How did you recognize that the viking was a true warrior? Wait to you see the video where he's got a viking shield and a wood axe to decorate the scene. Then you can call him a true warrior.

[@Terracecasualx5]

Gdhh Gshwgwggwwf every day at Aubagne they ask if anyone wants to return to civilian life. After you are sent to Castelnaudry,it’s usually the family who kick you out and after five months I’d say this is what happened to this bloke.

[@MagusMagnus]

Serving as a mercenery in a legion which has been notorious to be a shelter for under presecution international criminals? Does it worth? It looks like being in a prison!!

[@hewesy7265]

It really is like that until you have passed regimental training. So approximately 6 months until it gets better and more relaxed.

[@josephcosgroveF4fl]

Reza kh you are way too informed for us. Wow! Everyone take not of what reza kh has to say. Anyone want any other advise check out Ryan ultimate scammer's site.

[@zakalon123]

Reza you are out of the loop. The FFL hasn't taken anyone with a serious criminal record for years now since the late eighties. You can't join the legion if you have a bad criminal record. They overlook petty crimes but not major ones. With so many applicants they can afford to be super choosy on who they take. And NEVER LIE to them as they have an amazing intelligence network. They will expose your lies and they will definitely not take you on.

[@mmarsh1972]

Zakalon is 100% correct. Petty offenses are forgiven (unless they are drug related, sorry no druggies in the Legion) but not only are serious offenses not forgiven they WILL make it a point to call Interpol if you have any outstanding arrest warrants (and they do check). So if you are fleeing justice, do not think the legion will offer you refuge.

[@mmarsh1972]

Actually that is not true anymore, the Legion is highly selective. Only 1 out 7 applicants gets his kepi...I seriously doubt the British Army is that selective.
