Best time of year to join French Foreign Legion

Max Prophet

What's the time of year that would make training easier as in not too hot and not too cold?

Seeing as you had been using La Legion, then I fear lessons are wasted on you.

Vive le mort
Vive le guerre
vive la legion estrange

learn that and a couple of the legion marching songs and you will be fine. The legion do love a good singsong. If you turn up knowing all that they will probably let you carry Capitaine Danjou's wooden hand on Cameron Day.

Ce n'est pas la Légion Estrange, c'est la Légion Étrangère!

The language of the FFL IS French, no matter what your native language might be.

You will learn it quickly, either by osmosis, or, just as likely, by impact.

Do you know if they allow you use phones for google translate and the like ?

I've already asked, and been ignored.

IMO there is no real person called by the name of the OP. It is one of those clever response programmes that responds to your comment with a slightly off-set non-sequitor. The ludicrous and inane questions are typical of this kind of programme. The programme has a lot going for it, as it has succeeded in getting a lot of people, me included, thoroughly pee'd off with the childishness displayed by the possibilities -

1. that the FFL gives a square root of SFA about whether or not you can speak French - you WILL learn it, and VERY quickly, often by impact more than osmosis.

2. that the FFL will give any regard to your leave/furlough preferences, and whether or not they might just clash with an overseas operation somewhere that is either VERY hot, or VERY cold.

3. that the FFL will not kick your sorry ass back through the main gates in double quick time if you don't shape up, in double quick time, into what the FFL wants, NOT what YOU want.

Being a programme, it will not have necessarily had access to the many intro to the FFL's movies on Youtube, most of which would have answered all of these questions.

With that in mind I'd be asking a MOD, ANY MOD, to pull the plug on this ridiculous programme.

When you say FFL do you mean La Legion ? Surely it is more respectful to use the correct term mon ami?

I met an Irish guy(Dubliner) a couple of years ago and he was finished his term in the legion. Really glad he did it. He was a troubled teen by the looks of him and it sorted his life out big time.
He said he had a number and if he was ever in trouble or needed help anywhere in the world he just had to call it and they would come get him.
Said he had to speak French or he couldn't get fed or anything. Said he is fluent now.

He was incorrect.

It's not an AI. The OP is simply a troll, but as it's in Walter Mitty it's fine. He's having a laugh, others are having a laugh at him. No one gets hurt... and the OP is in little danger of joining the FFL. It will eventually fizzle out once people don't take the OP's bait and have had enough of the juvenile "humour".

From the link i posted a few weeks ago..

What does NOT matter to join the Legion
your citizenship (if you are a Brazilian, Indian, Russian, Japanese citizen etc…) doesn’t matter
your race origin doesn’t matter
your religion doesn’t matter
your knowledge / ignorance of the French language doesn’t matter
your educational background doesn’t matter
your qualifications doesn’t matter
your social status doesn’t matter
your professional status doesn’t matter
your marriage / marital status or family status doesn’t matter
your previous military or non-military background doesn’t matter

Even for food? How do they know about allergies and preferences

When the preference is die or don't die, allergies and preferences tend to go out the window

From my own time in the legion, (well, not the legion as such, it was an outdoor weekend in secondary), we were out all day killing, no not killing, kayaking.

Got back to the lodge. I've always hated spag bol, but i asked for seconds that day.

Same.

Good idea, also go down to your local pool hall and pick up two pool sticks and you can learn the Krabi-Krabong martial art.

If I thought for a second that you were real, I'd pay to come and watch you fly off to wherever it is you think that prospective legionaires go to.
