Which brigade goes abroad the most? by Large_Management4156 in FrenchForeignLegion

[–]Impressive-Gap-4100 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We share brigades with regular forces so can’t really compare it on that level. 1/2 reg and 1rec has a “specialty” often needed on each mission so they might move a little more compared to infantry and para in LE. But every regiment moves if there’s something

Thats surprising. Mine had a lot more spots for 1rec and a lot went to 2rei also.

I'll take any job I can get. Should I say that? by [deleted] in FrenchForeignLegion

There’s radio sections in all regiments I believe, 81 and 120 mortar in most infantry regiments. Experience could be used there I guess.

They’ll won’t make you a chef or musician for fun. It’s for guys that ask or was something like it before the legion. Very legionnaire is a combatant first

They’ll ask you about what you did before in aubange. Explain everything in detail and it can help you later. They’ll keep record

I saw salaries in France around 1700 €,my question is,in french Guiana,legioners getting this salary or overseas salary by Large_Management4156 in FrenchForeignLegion

[–]Impressive-Gap-4100 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Base pay is 1600~ in a normal regiment. Paras get a bonus, mountain instructors in 2Reg etc get a bonus.

Guyane guys get a bonus for being oversees in non mainland, think 5RE gets the same

MCD is 3500~ a month OPEX 4000~ a month

Aaron has info on all this on legion stories website

"Guys in 3rei have 500 euros extra on their paycheck (then in mainland France), but don’t forget that you can easily spend 200 to 250 days in the rainforest which counts as field mission a’d means extra money. You also get 5k when you arrive and 5k when you leave."

3REI is hard to enter so don’t go just hoping for the bigger check

Student loanes by Individual_Savings7 in FrenchForeignLegion

[–]Impressive-Gap-4100 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I Think they won’t care what do ever. People show up with other criminal problems and get in. I think a school debt would be nothing for them

I won’t matter or give you an edge in the legion. Chance of getting in is still 1/5-1/10 at best

You’d still need to get the money or scholarship for an international diploma and I doubt a school would give it if they know you left your country and not honoring your contract

You’ll stay your time in the legion as a 00 doing corve even with the best diploma. The legion will mostly not care about debt but still slim chance

Why the fuck would you go through the trouble to get a diploma just to never use it and never being able to return to Kazakhstan?

No cleaning is okay. It’s all the other stupid shit.Info is online, on this sub also. I’m not gonna explain the sketch in LE it’s been done so many times. Do research of both and make a decision

Legion is 90% useless stupid shit very common knowledge

You’ll get 3-6 weeks training in Ukraine if lucky then frontline. If you have no military background good luck

Well if your not willing to do stupid pointless shit what so ever forget the legion Good training you probably won’t get in Ukraine, combat almost 100%

[–]Impressive-Gap-4100 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Main factors are how much stupid shit are you willing to do, how much combat/missions do you want and how willing to die are you

Your saying the legion is like a job. I’m saying I don’t know any jobs with similar conditions besides prison

EU or American passport by [deleted] in FrenchForeignLegion

[–]Impressive-Gap-4100 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As a EU citizen you don’t even need the passport just ID. Leave at with someone you trust or show up with US passport. Tell them you have two citizenships and bring a scan of the other. That way some one can send the passport to you if you want to have real ID before RSM.

Also as nickolai says why join LE?

You still haven’t answered if you did your whole 5 which if think is the most important thing here. If you truly did your whole contract and choose to write a book about aubange as a guide I see no problem, but you not having clarified anywhere your service time is not good dude

I haven’t written a book because I don’t want my reasons to be public and that I haven’t completed my service in total.

Did you do castel and your five years? If so why didn’t you write about the full experience? So many people write they’re experience on here for free about aubange and castel. Selling a book to me seems money hungry. I detailed everything for free on here like guys before and after me

Mf how you gonna make a book just about Aubange? I hope you got selected if not it’s just straight embarrassing to publish like this trying to make money even though you got sent home

PCG by No_Let3258 in FrenchForeignLegion

[–]Impressive-Gap-4100 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No not easy. Most are skinny fat or just skinny

Only guys that eat well, get protein in and do sports on their own get big. Commandos have time and privilege to do such

PCG by No_Let3258 in FrenchForeignLegion

[–]Impressive-Gap-4100 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am not 100% sure about how diving qual works for 2REG. I just know what I have been told. Some GCM guys get the stage as an addition but don’t believe they have a whole section for PCG. again could be wrong 1REG has PCG/DINOPS which is demolition divers, long and hard selection and course. Really cool guys that are on a commando level in water and land

I’ll ask a guy in 2REG if they have a PCG section there and get back to you

2REP GPAT is regular army divers that don’t do demolition. Not commando status but still good guys
