Any infantry bat.
Navy - clearance diver or some such.
The Navy rejects.

Hahahahahahahahaaa RWBC!

Please please please tell me you made that up hahahaha!

 

[AdmiralAwesome]

Dead serious. :wacko:

Failed the medical. You can stuff your bra, but you can't destuff your pants without some serious cash. So here I am, second choice...

 

[MTW]

why do people want to join the foreign legion? its *text deleted**text deleted*.

 

[MTW]

i dont..but from what is known about them..i cant see why anyone would possibly want to join.

 

[Gazkane]

isn't it full of criminals on the run from other contries??

 

[Seedytucker]

they're hardcore in so much as physically tough, you're guaranteed to see action and get to learn french, and you get a 2nd id, some join so they can get entrance to EU. Personally i'd rather they did that than climbed into the back of an HGV.
I wouldn't want to join myself,if for no other reason than they're french...*text deleted*. But i can see they are a decent regiment (?).

 

[MTW]

i just cant see the good points....

you have to change your name...
have to fight for the french...
have to learn french fast or get beaten...
the french dont give a *text deleted**text deleted* about them...
bullying theft etc is rife....
you hardly (if ever) get to go home...
cant imagine the other recruits being from "good stocks" shall we say aslyum seekers, scumbags etc...

and i wouldnt join because thats all i *text deleted* about them...

and i bet alot of people dont *text deleted* a massive amount about what they do, just want to put it in their list "*text deleted* it sounds hardcore innit".

 

[akerfish]

there is already a thread on the legion. check it out. its good thread. there are some really cool vids and documentarys on there.

 

[BradfordBulls]

We have a argument thread so post away there about the frog legion and how rubbish it is, anyway...
1:Marine
2:Para
3:Regular Squaddie
4:Learn a trade + TA

 

[MTW]

thats probably the least important point...

 

[MAXPAIN]

If I cant be a Royal Marine they'll be nothing else for me in this life so I'd might as well shoot myself in the head

 

[Sotiris]

I would imagine that real scumbags just wouldn't make it through the training. They have a very high drop out or desertion rate.
