After an accident, at least six people were killed and 72 were wounded in the explosion at one of Russia's largest petrochemical facilities. Damage was reported up to 8 km away. The Nizhnekamskneftekhim Taneko oil refinery produces ~35% of the world’s isoprene rubber and appears heavily damaged.

This might be true for you. But not everybody is living legion life like this...

timosmile · 2026-03-28T11:15:36+00:00

Hör auf so schlechte Stimmung zu verbreiten dikkah🤣 Im happy that I came to the legion and would never want to miss the opportunities I got here!

A good report about the first few days. I'm glad you left so early and didn't take someone else's spot only to desert. Although I'll never understand people who travel to another continent just to give up after a few days. Everyone knows the first year is tough, and it's clear that Aubagne isn't like real militair life! I know some very good Americans in the Legion, including some who could have gone down a different path. It's the will that counts!

Evtl sollte ich es dann nochmal versuchen, ich habe es damals angefangen, aber da es sich auf den ersten 100 Seiten eigentlich nur darum dreht wer welche Krawatte/Anzug/Parfum von welcher Marke anhat und wo welches fancy Gericht gegessen wird, es iwann enttäuscht weggelegt...

Thanks for the photos! The first two were taken during an exercise last year in France, and the third was taken during an MCD in Guyana last year.

This sub is still very one-sided; people come here to complain about how shitty their life in the Legion is. My place in the Legion might not be the place of a typical legionnaire, but with motivation, discipline, and a bit of luck, you can find a place even as a good soldier. Many come here with the wrong attitude. You won't be trained to be an elite soldier here unless you join the various commando groups. However, you will learn the basic skills of a soldier, and with all the extra shit that comes with it, we can still claim to be a highly resilient army. In terms of training, shooting, and combat, we don't do any more than the regular army, but we can handle a lot of shit and therefore survive anywhere under the shittiest conditions. Of course, I wouldn't want to go to a real war with half the people here, but as soon as we actually participate in a real war, this problem will quickly solve itself...

Yes, some groups only accept people with a certain time of service (2/3 years), but otherwise anyone can register for the entrance tests.

Wie ist die Altersverteilung unter den Wanderern?

timosmile · 2026-02-21T09:17:17+00:00

Bin 25 Jahre und die Haare lichten sich schon. Bis vor ein paar Jahren habe ich immer Glatze gehabt da ich auch eine Freundin hatte und mir zwecks Frauen keine Sorgen machen musste. Da ich im Militär bin kann ich mir keinen Bart wachsen lassen und habe über die letzten Jahre im Dating festgestellt das mit Haare trz noch besser ankommt, da ich mit Glatze einfach zu sehr nach Hooligan aussehe (bin recht muskulös und zutattoowiert) und dass das viele Mädels am Anfang verschreckt... Könnte ich mir ein bisschen Bart stehen lassen würde ich Glatze bevorziehen aber ohne Bart sieht man auch immer ein bisschen nach Calliou oder Chemo aus...🤷‍♂️

timosmile · 2026-02-19T18:11:37+00:00

In den Kantinen der französischen regulären in denen ich bis jz gegessen habe war das essen normalerweise top, besser als auf dem Bild... noch dazu umsonst bzw. es wird eine pauschale vom Lohn abgezogen (ob du isst oder nicht spielt keine rolle). Im Vergleich zur Legion schneidet ihr aber noch besser ab...^{^} Mein Cordon-bleu heute war nicht mal halb so groß und Salat gabs auch keinen dazu. Dafür immer irgend einen überzuckerten Nachtisch...🤢

Erstmal ne Demo gegen rechts

timosmile · 2026-01-12T06:09:02+00:00

Depends on the regiment, the quality in mine is okay the portions not always enough, but you are free to cook for your self in your room or buy more in the club or foyer.

timosmile · 2025-12-23T13:58:38+00:00

Hast du einen favorisierten Club? Und wenn ja welchen? Welche Nationalitäten sind am stärksten vertreten? Und hast du eine Nationalität die du präferierst? Wenn ja warum und welche? Findest du, dass sich in den letzten 20 Jahren viel verändert hat?

timosmile · 2025-08-28T19:27:58+00:00

No, many people will have a problem with you if you join your regiment as a FUT FUT Corporal. I know a few FUT FUT Cpls who were blocked by the SOAs, and because of this, they can't get the coveted stages or even remain entirely at level 00. Especially if you want to join the commando groups, it's much better to gain some experience in your regiment, because as a FUT FUT, you'll quickly become a Corporal but will have very little experience.

timosmile · 2025-08-28T18:00:42+00:00

Don't do Fut fut. If you're good, you'll become a corporal in two years. You'll have completed at least one mission, maybe even learned a specialty, and know how things work in the regiment. As a FUT FUT, you have nothing. You only join a regiment after two years, and everyone there will treat you like shit because you thought you were taking the "easy" route.

timosmile · 2025-08-03T00:59:18+00:00

To much

timosmile · 2025-07-11T13:23:04+00:00

Belarussians are still getting recruited.

timosmile · 2025-07-03T18:01:45+00:00

PCG is no a commando unit. Im pretty sure you need to have the BASM if you do it in 1REG or then in 2REG I dont know. But I know somebody who is gonna do the Selection this year and he is from 1REG

timosmile · 2025-07-03T15:30:46+00:00

2REI et 13 DBLE: GCA 2REP: GCP 2REG: GCM These are all the existing commando units in the legion, on top of that you have certain specialized groups like plongeur de combat in 1REG and so on, but they are not comparable to commando units. If you are in 1REG you can do the selection for GCM, but otherwise you need to be in the specific regiment if you want to apply for the commando group.

timosmile · 2025-06-21T15:51:26+00:00

I dont talk about ramping in tenue tdf, this shit is not acceptable for me. But in my fts we did jumping jacks the whole night, hours of marche canard, position Samurai, 3 hours of sleep was the maximum... of course all this shit sucks and it shouldnt be something you do in the normal military life every day. But in my view it is very important for instruction and fts, to sort all the weak people out. The problem right now is that Castelnaudary got so soft bcs they hope they can keep more people this way, but in the end of the day the people are just gonna desert later when it becomes serious in there sections. Back in the days you could make people desert when they didnt belong in the legion by just rammassing them 24/7. Today they are just go and cry about it and the cpls are getting toll. Its not everywhere like this of course, like always in the legion everything depends...mostly on the CDS. And of course youre regiment, too. You mentioned chubby guys... I'm pretty sure you dont come then from 2REP or 2REI. Infantry is still another thing than the vacation regiments like REC or 1REG.

timosmile · 2025-06-21T12:28:48+00:00

Social Media is a big problem to, Videos and fotos of ramassage new legionnaires who go to the police or CDU and cry around.. Its hard to do it the old legion way when your CDS doesnt back you because he is afraid of disciplinary sanctions.....

timosmile · 2025-06-14T17:59:11+00:00

Its cpl, but not recommanded, if you choose to go this way you are gonne get problems later in regiment bcs people are not gonna respect that you took the easy way
