French Foreign Legion Selection 2017

[@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.

Jerónimo Rodríguez I'm 18 and joining in 5 hours time.

[@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]

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.

[@gustaspons1310]

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.

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.

[@sergiysorokin2858]

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. Bon chance ✌🏻

[@baylog9679]

Are you in ?

[@user-ne9oj1tz8l]

I went to Marseille Aubagne last Week, when i was there, i had not the Courage to go in. The long lonely journey gives me to much Time, to think about it. Also the "Problem" that i had to much People at Home, who don´t supported my choice. It´s a big different to think "I go for 5 Years and join" than really doing it and be completely alone and away from everything. The thing isn´t over for me..., for sure. But if You go, be more than sure and from the first Step You do in the direction of the Legion, let everything behind. All thoughts that can hold You back.

I think his answers are completely honest and I believe him that he finished basics. So I have to thank him for this video. I am thinking hard about joining, and I always have this image of a super elite force that you can only join when you are 3 meters tall and have arms like Arnold. It is nice to hear that probably normal people join and have the chance of passing (with a fucking hard preperation)... This guy is not mad about the legion he made his experience and shares it.

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.

You can cancel contract when you want. 5 years contract means you have a job at least for 5 years.

Man you can't cancel and go man this is a lie

[@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.

I was in Fort De Nogent for almost 2 weeks, and Aubagne for 2 weeks (1 week bleu, 1 week rouge). All in All before being sent to Castel was about a month. Thanks, I appreciate it!

[@Littlest.Viking]

During selection, there were 3 Americans that i hung out with in the English Mafia. 2 were in the selection group just before me and neither were selected, both ex-military. The third one was kicked out for fighting with one of the slavs (and the cold war lives on! :p). I did meet a few more later though. During Training however i was the only candidate who was from North America, and one of 3 native English speakers. Others spoke english, but as a second language.

[@looperradical2689]

​@@Littlest.Viking I really want to join but I have a major surgical scar on my shoulder ...is that instant DQ?

[@diegoleal4943]

I have screws and plates in my right eye, i used to be in the US ARMY it does not prevent me from any military activity. Why is that a problem? That would be the only dq for me. Can I get a note from my doctor to clear me?

[@streetview2978]

can you tell me please about salary ? Some one told me during training time you get arround 2000-2500€. And after training 1250-1500€. Is it true ? Can you tell in détails please

[@alexkola4071]

do you get any extra money after you finish 5 years of service

[@andrew4558]

I watched a clip and they said $1500 Euro a month now. If you serve outside of France your pay will be doubled.

[@dloyfwaymeather977]

Marques P Are u in the Legion bro?

[@jaisingh-yt3rb]

Is asthma a problem ????? I can run and all , do a lot of physical stuff like trek in the Himalayas and all but still have to take some medication ! Will that be a problem ??????

[@Littlest.Viking]

If you are able to perform and show little signs of it, i would avoid mentioning it and see what happens. Worst case scenario is that you are accepted and then the problem arises later on and they send you home.

[@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]

Miguel Soares 5 years is a lot to commit too especially in a different country in a different military

[@RyanAcoustic]

Miguel Soares dude come on.... He never said he is a LEGIONNAIRE but the fact is he was... stop abusing him .... getting kepi blanc means a LEGIONNAIRE dont you know...... that's his wish is he did not want to continue...

[@fuckthecountysheriff2194]

Heywood Juhblowme do you ? lol

[@ChocoLater1]

Good come back Viking

[@heroesofmightandmagic356]

Hi, i want to ask you one question, did you earn some money for 5month training and how much? I ask you because if i want to back home i need money for airplane 😄

[@bhairabniroula4530]

Which season is better to go to legion .

[@Littlest.Viking]

I personally think during the winter. Talked to a couple guys who had been during the summer, and the selection process took forever. So in terms of a quicker selection i say winter, however if you do not like the cold then it will make some of the training a lot more difficult.

[@pranilborkar2546]

Littlest.Viking hi sir just saw your video its amazing you are doing a great job. I have a question here, i actually have cavities in 2 of my teeths is it a major problem after curing it.

[@pranilborkar2546]

one more question sir, can we have a personal chat or any of that type i have a lot to ask.its a request please do contact if possible. iam from Indore, MP(India) if you are on facebook name-Pranil Borkar.

[@Littlest.Viking]

I would recommend fixing your teeth beforehand. The legion will be checking your teeth and if they need work the legion will do the work for you. I would recommend seeing a real professional dentist instead of an overpaid military officer milking france's teat. Your mouth will thank you. Also i am not interested in connecting with facebook with anyone at this time, however i will be more than happy to email you.

[@pranilborkar2546]

Littlest.Viking sir how to find you on facebook whats your real Name ?☺ or can you please find me on facebook instead, i sent all my information in above comments. please.

[@josephcosgroveF4fl]

Viking, is your site or not? I'm seeing comments on here form the "ulimate loser Ryan" site. Get your act together otherwise instead of just seeing him with a kepi and a jugulaire he'll be wielding a wood axe next.

[@olejoergensen6481]

5 months, then you never ever been a legionar, just a wimp there wout like to be a wanabe

[@roccaboy1]

i have a question when booking a flight how do you go about it do u buy a one way or return since u not allowed to carry cash if you get eliminated how do you get back home ? im asking i will be coming from africa i wouldnt want to be stuck in france if i fail to make the grade

[@lebell79]

you're allowed to have cash, any personal possessions will be kept for you. a retour ticket will mean you are a thinking person and makes a better impression than (what I did) show up with a one way ticket. It doesnt impress them at all, so don't worry having retour flight does not make bad impression.

[@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.

[@craigvlogzz3369]

Can you get in the French foreign legion with asthma?

[@harresongarner4921]

awol deserter!

[@ludovicbegue5171]

If you got scars on the calves due to surguery, is that a problem? Its a surgery i did since birth. I can walk, i go to the gym, i do squat, i mean, i dont have any problem with it though.

[@gdhhgshwgwggwwf8471]

I think about joining Foreign Legion, thanks man. You are true warrior.

[@Littlest.Viking]

If it is something you wish to pursue, you should go for it. Thank you for the compliment, but im just a regular guy.

[@josephcosgroveF4fl]

Arsehole, he asked to go civvy because it was too tough for him.

[@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.

[@ericvondumb2838]

True warrior? More like true quitter!

[@TobyDaBeagle]

So my hand got split in half by a Miter saw i dont have a pointer finger knuckle and its not my dominant hand but it doesn’t hinder any task i do at all, i can do 35 chin ups full extension, im super fit, and extremely determined. Will this be a problem?

[@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!

Question for any legionaires current or former. I had a surgery like seven years backs and of course have two scars from it. I'm in damned good shape, but am worried it'll be an obstacle,. Will it be a problem if I don't bring documentation?

[@JunctionFTW]

I failed to mention, that this was a chest surgery to fix some broken ribs. I'm all good, but am still worried. I'm thinking and hoping a doctor's examination and note will be enough to pass.

[@evangelosgallos9224]

[@curtissmallwood6997]

Would I lose my VA compensation and/or other benefits in USA if I join the legion? Do I have to update my new name and everything or would I have two nationalities with a different identity?

[@Adamson11x]

If its still possible skip Fort De Nogent and go to Aubagne and say these words: Je suis un " your nationality" Je suis un volontaire rejoindre La Legion Etrangere" I know it's wrong but that got me in.

[@Rab-qn4mj]

Hi there, thanks for the very interesting and up to date video regarding the selection process. My biggest concern, i was hoping you might be answer, is to do with eye tests taken. I have a slight colour problem and was wondering if you know what colour tests are involved? did you encounter anyone with this problem. I was on the website and it mentioned it depends if you want to become a paratrooper or commando. If you fail the colour book with numbers another test is taken called a lantern test which determines how bad it is

[@cristianparra3618]

When you left the French Foreign Legion they returned to you your documents like your passport or drive's license. When they started pay you?

[@struggling741]

Thanks for the video man, I'm leaving for Paris on new years eve

[@onondowaga6852]

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

[@XXCrazyGermanx]

just had a microdisectomy because of a herniated disc (L5-S1). Surgery went fine and have no lasting symptoms. Would this be an issue when I try joining the Legion?

[@Imperialbbuilding]

I had light asthma when I was 2 years old and required steroids when I was 2. Since then I've had no issues. Would this affect me? Don't want to go all the way down to be sent home, thanks
