    The FFL is open to members of any nationality, race, or creed. Only males though.

    You join by getting your a** on to the website 'legion-recrute' and finding out. You go to France. Go to one of the recruitment centres, sign up, and wait. You'l get accomadation with them. During that time you'l have to do various tests which are very similar to what you do joining most armies. Hearing, Medical, Fitness (the french military test using the bleep test, pressups, sit ups, and also think they test pull ups too.). There's an aptitude test. Very easy. Its not exactly the difficulty of tests you'd experience trying for a cadetship or anything that. Its similar to the BAARB test the Brits use. So google that. Pass everything, depending on how many places are available in the next intake of recruits, you get in.

    You can be temporarily rejected. For things of a medical nature that can be remedied. You have a certain time for that temporary reject to be valid. If you come back AFTER 3 months or whatever the exact time is (could even be 3 weeks im not sure), you'l have to do the whole recruitment process again.

    Chances of not getting in the first attempt are very high. So return tickets lads ;)

    HUGE amounts of people in the legion have previous military experience. Having military experience will benefit you personally probably, but not in the way that your'e treated or in your career.
