Not sure if /k/ is the right place to ask; but i'll give it a shot.

I've bought a plane ticket heading to France to take a shot at joining the FFL.

I've already have had a short military experience in my country, (BMQ only). I know I can easily pass the physical tests and medical tests the legion will run- but the only step that worries me is the actual interview, is there anything I can say that will boost my chances of being selected? Not planning on lying my way through or anything, I just want to know some basic points I can bring up to increase my chances of being selected. I'm already fluent in french.

Other than that, anyone here in the legion or has had experience in the legion? Some stories would cool and interesting to read up here,

Thanks in advance.

Do you speak French fluently? If not, I feel sorry for you

Also, enjoy being the most expendable of troops. They don't give a shit about the FFL, they aren't spec ops, far more like marines that nobody wants

Good god we have these threads weekly.

Might as well make it a fucking general at this point.
>>
>>32464607
you need to be able to speak and understand basic french and especially orders, you also need to learn the french hymn perfectly

if you don't speak french, they are going to teach you, but you are going to be in a world of pain

>unless you are a slav
Elaborate ? I read your PDF thing, but it seems like any retard in the US that has been rejected at MEPS can see this as a viable option, not just Slavs

Huezil.

I just want to live peacefully, anon. Take my kids innawoods to hunt and teach them men stuff when they are young and work my ass off for them to be way more successful than anyone in my family ever was in generations.

Oh sweet a BR. How violent is your boot camp? I've heard it can be pretty bad especially so if you were a paratrooper

Download some apps that teach you french and use the shit out of them until the moment you get there. Learn as much french as you possibly can to make life easier. Focus on military ranks and orders and simple commands as well as the alphabet and numbers. Spend every spare moment you have practicing that language.
>>
Also maybe watch some you tube videos in French about the FFL. Every little bit will help. Immerse yourself in the language as much as possible.

Well the pdf thing details how this fella didn't back down properly to the russian group, copped a beating and his mate was killed. It reads like its a penal battalion. You would have to be retarded to want to join a penal battalion.

I say slav because the only good reason to join is for a passport.

>>Do you secretly have asthma?

W-why does this matter anon? I'm one of the fittest people I know. Shit I managed to hide my asthma the whole time I was in the British Army (managed to have an inhaler near to hand most of the time though and usually took a hit before PT). Even did P company.

Well it sounds like you can deal with whatever the FFL throws at you because of training in Brazil.
I had a friend who quit Argentine officer candidacy because of rampant Nepotism, he went to the FFL and said the brutality in training was pretty extreme. After his 5 years he came to the US and joined the Marine Corps, which is where i met him

Good to hear Britain isn't the only country with disgusting nepotism in its officer corps

>BMQ

So what's wrong that you couldn't hack it in the Canadian military?

Got some bad news for you senpai, if you don't have the right stuff to serve in our godforsaken armed forces, the FFL will chew up your bitch ass and spit you out raw.
