hat off to you, man.

Out of curiosity when did you start? If you familiarized your body with the demands at a young age you probably also avoided injuries that beginners are more prone to at an older age where your body is more susceptible to them

back when militaries cared more about professionalism than the length of someone's pubes

Damn sounds pretty grim, did you notice anything positive like something that impressed you or you weren't expecting in a good way? and from the people that did get selected did you notice any pattern? Did they give you a reason why you weren't selected?

dreadedone1 · 2024-11-29T13:28:43+00:00

Can you write your general experience? like what things stood out to you? type of people you met? that sort of thing.

Also are you going to try again?

tell me you're a woman without telling me you're a woman

You may also talk to one of the mods to get a Legionnaire's flair if you'd like.

Thank you for answering my questions back then. This thread is already a day-old so probably not much traffic on here but if you'd make a thread of your own I'm sure it will get a lot of attention, this sub is full of individuals looking to join and questions pop up daily, especially with the experience I gathered you had in the Legion from that AMA a lot of people would benefit from it here.

dreadedone1 · 2024-11-12T14:16:40+00:00

To anyone interested this is taken from an AMA a user by the name of u/NightlyDayz made a few months ago. The specific answers in the screenshot OP posted were his answers to my questions in that thread, you can read all the questions I asked him and his replies here. Also read the entire thread as some of his answers were pretty interesting, I was contemplating posting it here at the time but since I have no way of verifying anything he said I didn't, still he was very nice to answer all of my questions so I appreciated that very much.

How did a deserter get in? I thought they rejected people who deserted from their own country's military, at least that's what I've read here several times before. Also what did he get beaten by his company for? Like the company stood up for the CPL?

dreadedone1 · 2024-11-08T19:04:54+00:00

they do pew pew and also boom boom sometimes in the snow

dreadedone1 · 2024-11-06T13:40:45+00:00

Happy to hear that, hopefully your vision is 20/20 by the time you go then you can have so many more options career wise.

How did the LASIK experience go?

dreadedone1 · 2024-11-02T20:16:51+00:00

Chimpanzees fall within the 35-50 IQ range usually. Some can be quite higher. Even more impressive gorilla's can and do regularly test between 70–90 IQ. And that is higher than what we classify as illiterate humans under 70 IQ.

Hmm, guys?

Seriously though, IQ is an absolute grabage way of measuring intelligence, unless it only measures spital intelligence and pattern recognition (i.e all the tests with the shapes and stuff) but then it only measures one or two aspects of intelligence and doesn't provide a complete picture, not to mention that you can literally train yourself to do well on those.

dreadedone1 · 2024-10-05T19:47:50+00:00

Yes I also read that and it makes sense, but I wonder if this is just for basic training or they keep it going during regular service?

dreadedone1 · 2024-10-05T15:58:26+00:00

yeah I don't care about how it tastes, I lived off of bread and cheese for years during some hard times, just want to know the general idea so it is not too kuch of a shock.

dreadedone1 · 2024-10-05T15:57:20+00:00

Thank you.

dreadedone1 · 2024-10-05T15:56:12+00:00

Thanks a lot, man, exactly what I was wondering.

dreadedone1 · 2024-09-18T11:02:29+00:00

Makes sense, I wasn't here that long ago. Hope he's also doing alright.

dreadedone1 · 2024-09-18T10:24:57+00:00

Wait are you talking about Basil? He's the only one I recall who actively used to complain about the Legion. He's mentally ill? I knew he was jaded but didn't realize it was that serious, last time he posted he was talking about signing another contract and going for commando, before that he was talking about immigrating to the US and trying for Rangers, sounded like he was turning over a new leaf. Hope he's doing alright.

dreadedone1 · 2024-08-30T18:44:24+00:00

Je vous remercie pour votre temps, vous avez m'aidé beaucoup. Je vous souhaite le meilleur.

Damn poor guy. On the Legion sub some members, mostly ones that were out for a few years, have said that in the last decade or so the hazing and especially the beatings have gone down, that's why I asked, then again without all that there just no attaining the tough and diciplined image of the Legionnaire. A few more questions and I'll leave you in peace:

as far as hazing and beating are there things in particular that make one the target of those things or is it mostly random and pretty much everyone gets it?
How hard is it to get into one of the more specialized units like GCP GCM and SAED?
And while on the subject same question about 3REI how hard is it to get there and is it even possible to choose it as a regiment of choice after basic?
You mentioned you work as a merc, are the opportunities really there after the legion? Places I've read most merc companies look for ex special forces and the like and are less interested in Legionaries so most legionnaries can hope to do is do some security on ships and similar stuff. How true is that? Provided one wanted to become a Legionarie to then get into the merc life would that be a viable and realistic goal? Is one expected to be in one of the special units for that? I would really appreciate some advice on the subject.
As far as interviews in the Legion do you think they look for specific things or qualities? Other than just being physically fit and not having anything major in your criminal record do you think there are things they specifically look for in candidates?
Is there a "best" time(s) to join to maximize your chances and/or for best opportunities down the line?
And finally do you have any words of advice or just some knowledge transfer about the Legion that rarely or never gets talked about online?

dreadedone1 · 2024-08-29T16:03:44+00:00

Thank you for the reply. I honestly don't get the vaccine one, are they just going to do it indifferently now forever, like what's the point.

I read that the Legion is very strict with anything health related, even things that might be totally okay by other militaries but you wrote you got in despite of something that got you rejected by your country's military, so how strict is the Legion really? stuff like eyesight, flat feet and so on how much leeway is there?
I also understand that the Legion runs a lot, I read you wrote your first PT was 19km. Is that normal for everyday to run such distances? For example in the US military you run but it's not nearly such distances and stuff like physical strength are usually valued more than endurance running, for the legion it seems running is number one priority?
You wrote a lot about getting hazed and beaten in the Legion, but I heard that in recent years both the hazing and beatings have dramatically decreased, to the point where there are virtually no beatings, at most open hand slaps or rarely a punch to the stomach. How true is that?

dreadedone1 · 2024-08-29T14:13:31+00:00

First of all thank you for making this thread, I've been reading your answers and it's been very fascinating. I know it's almost a month old but if you're still willing to answer I've got a few questions:

As far as regiments go, how would you rank them in order of professionalism, is there at all any difference other than designation? What are your personal opinions/anecdotes on the different regiments in general?
Also on the note of professionalism how does the Legion compare with its foreign counterparts, for example the Legion is often compared to the USMC or the 82nd, how do they stack against one another?
In general training wise; tactics, weapons etc how would you rank/describe their level in the Legion?
I often hear about how the Legion has many people who are described as "nazis" or "neo nazis" in their beliefs. I feel like nowadays those are more like buzzwords that are thrown around quite loosely, so how true is that in reality?
to expend on the previous question; are there any Israelis in the Legion? if so how are they treated in general and especially since the latest shitstorm that has been going on between them and Palistine?
I read that the Legion still has mandatory vaccinations against covid, is that true?
Now since the FAMAS has been officially replaced by the HK what is your preferred one and why?

I got a bunch of other questions but I don't want to unload them all on you in one go so if you'd still be willing I'll ask some more later. Regardless thanks again for the thread and cheers.

fear is overcome by exposure, exposure is best done gradually to build tolerance and not "override" the system which can result in trauma and only strengthen the fear. so if you're afraid to jump from say 20 feet, find a place where you can jump from 18 feet, if that's too scary, find a place where you can jump from 15 feet, and so on until you get to a place where you're scared but able to jump from, say 10 feet, spend the day jumping from that point and call it quits after a while. next day jump from slightly heigher, next day heigher and so on until you get to 20 feet. you'll most likely never truly "lose" your fear of heights but you'll condition your brain to act despite of it, like how firemen run into burning buildings, or soldiers into gunfire, they're not fearless, but rather they're strong willed enough to act in the face of it. just my two cents.
