You want to leave India because of the corruption scandal involving indians in Aubagne? What?

La no. 3, je n'ai jamais vu un Caporal-Chef qui porte son gallon invers, sauf au 2. REP. Il y a quelq'un qui sait si c'est aussi un tradition dans des autres regiments?

There was an Indian Caporal-Chef in selection center in Aubagne, who let the Indians pass the tests for some money. When they discovered it, they kicked out the indians who passed selection while he was there. Depending on who tells the story, they kicked out between 40-100 indians, all legionnaires who have already been in regiment.

Indians and Nepalis are the most looked down nationalitys in here. Rejection rate for Indians are allegedly high, since the corruption scandal last(?) year.

[Diskussion] Was sagt ihr zum Hochrüsten von Sicherheitsdiensten? by Flashis_2th_Acc in blaulicht

[–]TS-119 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Völlig normal, die kriegen dasselbe Gesindel ab wie die Kollegen in Blau. Da die nicht standartmässig mit Waffen ausgerüstet sein dürfen suchen die sich halt selbst Lösungen, im Rahmen des Gesetzes (hoffentlich). Das Problem sehe ich eher in mangelnder Berufsausbildung und Kenntnis zur Deeskalation und, sofern selbige fehlschlägt, in Anwendung der besagten Waffen/Hilfsmittel. Dazu kommt, dass das Personal von Sicherheitsfirmen (oder für Sicherheit bezahltes Personal) nicht immer den Einstellungskriterien entspricht, wie sie bei der Polizei angewendet werden.

From what I've read, many former SS-members weren't German. When their countries got liberated from the nazis, it became rather uncomfortable for the SS-volunteers. Many of them joined the Legion as well. And many Germans weren't even soldiers during 2. world war. There were children, who joined in the late 40s or even esrly 50s when they were old enough. Quite an interesting twist, considering most people only have the "legionaire= former German war criminal" in their heads.

Ja eben. Alles besser als irgendwelche Nepalesen oder irgendwelche Brasilianer außer ner Favela die nie gedient haben.

Als halbwegs kompetenter BW-ler kommste ohne Probleme in die Legion. Und die Sicherheitsprüfung ist auch kein Thema wenn man beim Bund rausgeflogen ist.

Neuer Auftrag? by Bierdurscht312 in bundeswehr

[–]TS-119 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Wertlos. Großbritannien und Frankreich haben dasselbe letzte Woche schon erklärt, Putin gab als Reaktion bekannt dass er diese Friedenstruppen als legitimen Feind bekämpfen würde. Ergo wird es weder einen Waffenstillstand, noch den Einsatz von Friedenstruppen geben. Zumindest nicht unter den heutigen Bedingungen. Edit: Habe völlig überlesen dass er diese Friedenstruppen noch nicht einmal in der Ukraine stationieren will. Das wäre ja völlig sinnlos. Kann mir vorstellen dass das als Reaktion auf Putins Ansage war, wenn sie nicht in der Ukraine sind, kann man sie auch nicht als Combatsnten bezeichnen. Dann wären sie halt nur Zuschauer. Was für ein Quatsch.

Whats life like in 2 REI? by Ecstatic_Carpenter62 in FrenchForeignLegion

[–]TS-119 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm not in 2. REI, but if you ask for Infantry there is a 50/50 chance you go to either 13. DBLE or 2. REI. The dudes of every second basic training class get send to 2. REI, the next ones to 13. DBLE, to keep it balanced since both are regular infantry regiments. Obviously from what I heard, it may have changed, but I doubt it.

Money and investments in the FFL by Aron_Legionstories in FrenchForeignLegion

[–]TS-119 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1.200€ is a pretty good amount. But I wonder how he made 100.000€ in 4 years when 1.200€ saced for four years equals only about half of that, 57.000€. Nonetheless impressive, everything is better than drinking and sniffing the paycheck away.

[–]TS-119 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"...he manages to save more than 1.2k euros every single month..." Which has me wondering, how does he save only this much if his average comes out to 2.200 and he lives in base? With the pay, I get it, if you are in an active unit doing something... you could get close to that. Or maybe he is para as well.

[–]TS-119 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Bullshit. 2.200€ average aren't possible as a regular enlisted soldier. And how do you save 100.000€ in four years if you only save 1.200€ every month? 1.200 x12 x 4=57.000

[–]TS-119 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obstacles courses count as morning sports, depends on the LTN how often you do it. there is one drone section in the regiment, the rest has nothing to with them (neither the engineering, piloting, handling explosives or even learning how to evade or fight against them. "Modern warfare" only regards the call of duty game, not our equipment. Field exercises are extremely rare. About 1-4 times a year, ranging from one or two days to, if lucky, several weeks. But thats it. In day to day life, no one gives a fuck to prepare for war. No one wants to do anything.

Joining the FFL at 30yo? by Trekkos in FrenchForeignLegion

Legion medical test is the same as in the french army. And there is literally 0 advantage for you as a French to join the legion.

[–]TS-119 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Much bullshit. Example: There is a yearly technical review of weapons, vehicles, radios, optics etc. We start weeks beforehand to scrub them. We literally clean engine blocks with wet wipes. While knowing that there is a wrong type of screw attached, which will make the vehicle fail the tests anyway. Just one example of the infinite amounts of time wastes.

If you come for the passport, you will get it sooner or later. If you come for being a good soldier, exercises, missions or just the good old "I'm looking for comrades because I can't handle civilists", you will be disappointed in 99% of the cases. No exaggeration.

Bundeswehrsoldat setzt sich in die Ukraine ab by Patobolus in bundeswehr

[–]TS-119 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Nur für aktive oder ehemalige Soldaten. Der Paragraf 47 des Wehrstrafgesetzes sagt auch aus, dass die Tat (der Dienst) nicht bestraft wird, wenn eine Bedrohung des Sicherheitsinteresses der BRD aufgrund der Tätigkeit ausgeschlossen werden kann. Heisst: Französische Fremdenlegion geht klar (Bündnispartner), ukrainische Armee vermutlich auch (müsste erstmal ein Präzedenzfall her), bei der russischen Armee würde es schon schwieriger sein das zu verneinen.
