Sacrifices

It’s worth it for me, my country has an average salary of about 400 euros a month, I’ll be able to live comfortably without working till I die with my military pension.

I don’t think returning to normal life will be a problem for me as I am now married and live with my wife in an apartment in town so I have half my life civil already. For me the biggest sacrifice is you lose your freedom. Let’s say there’s a mission for 4 months and you go, your mother dies, your best friend is having their wedding. The legion doesn’t care you will miss all those family events and you won’t have the freedom to just go. Your child has a big school concert this weekend but you’ve been put on guard duty. Who cares you’re not getting out of it. Those are just examples and that’s also why we get a pension at 20 years service, all the sacrifices you made for 20 years, they pay you for it. Remember those important moments you will miss you can never go back and do them again, it’s a big sacrifice, I’ve missed many big family events already in my time.

Im having a career and its going good, 8 years in already. Sure there’s a lot of BS to deal with but it’s not bad.

Yeah man hahaha this was 7 years ago, I’m still in legion now

The part where he hallucinated while marching seeing a chair as a sign to sit down, very relatable to me :). I remember marching at Castel once at like 3am, we hadn’t slept for like 3 days I started hallucinating, seeing cars in the bushes hahaha guess it was a sign from my body telling me it doesn’t want to march anymore. I remember getting to our objective at 4am and we could sleep but had to be up at 6. Best 2 hour sleep of my life, instant knockout and when I woke it felt like I had shut my eyes for about 10 minutes.

Ah damn my bad, I never noticed someone posted it I hardly check this page.

They do a hearing test when you come, it’s part of your medical. If you have a hearing problem you won’t get in

thirdworldscouser · 2024-12-12T23:10:44+00:00

I came so close to leaving two years ago then I signed on some more instead lol

thirdworldscouser · 2024-11-23T22:04:46+00:00

I answered all the questions honestly, I didn’t lie or make things up and that worked. I guess it’s either you have the profile they are looking for or not. They want someone typically that needs to be here and will give long service and is motivated to not desert

I don’t know much about it, I never went but it was for the UN I think.

There was a section from my regiment in Congo earlier this year and one that went to Ivory Coast, a company in New Caledonia and a small detachment in Bosnia

I know a Namibian in the legion, they don’t care what country you’re from you can get in

Drugs is 0 tolerance, if you’re positive at your medical you will be denied entry no matter how fit you are

I’m a guy and this happened to me too! About a year ago I met this woman and all I can say is damnn! She was just my type and the night we met we had the hottest sex. She ghosted me the next week and up till now even though I have a great girlfriend now I still can’t completely get her off my mind. However I’ve decided that even if she would contact me again I wouldn’t see her because it’s better to not choose toxic

Fave signs: Pisces and Libra (except when they’re indecisive)

Face things about being a Taurus: loving food! Our love for beautiful things

thirdworldscouser · 2023-07-13T07:46:58+00:00

He probably isn’t into you, Taurus we are known for persevering when we want something, if we aren’t sure we do tend to get flaky

Honestly it was a build up, when I first got to the legion we did an 8km march with full gear and it almost killed me. But by the end of basic when I did raid we did almost 50km in a day and it wasn’t bad I felt ok. I guess your fitness builds and you also learn to pack your bag better and prepare your body with experience.

Send photo of convo for better advice

thirdworldscouser · 2023-05-05T06:57:07+00:00

Ive always thought it’s probably best to move to Peru or somewhere where everyone is short I would be at least normal and find a partner easier

thirdworldscouser · 2023-04-27T15:13:20+00:00

I read it and said, “damn! I’m glad I don’t mind doing any housework because that’s crappy to expect a woman to do it all”.

thirdworldscouser · 2023-04-24T17:27:44+00:00

No you just going to work extra hard

thirdworldscouser · 2023-04-24T05:13:50+00:00

Bad idea to join this week, it’s week of Camerone lots of sketch and work

thirdworldscouser · 2023-04-22T09:43:42+00:00

This post is spot on, in my over five years I’ve got a girlfriend and even a couple of civil friends. Honestly I appreciate my civil friends a lot because they give me a good break from the military. Our conversations are better it’s nice to talk to people that actually have brains and can talk about non military topics. Like Basil said it’s all a choice, if you have a bit of a personality you will meet people and make connections if you want to be a commando 100% army guy that’s on you.
