You Can Join The French Foreign Legion As A Nigerian by blackbriar: 5:33pm On Mar 02, 2017 |
Quite simply, to join the Foreign Legion, you need to present yourself to an information desk (FLIC) or at a preselection center (PC), all of which are located in France. So, step 1 is go to France. Once there, you will need to: Have a valid passport or photo ID. Also be between 17 and 39 years old Be able to write and read your maternal language. That being said, all training is in French, and while it will be taught to you, having some proficiency in the language is still trés helpful. Once you get to a FLIC or PC, you will be given info on the legion and the terms of contract will be explained to you. The process starts when you pass your passport to a serving Legionnaire in a recruiting center. If you decide to proceed, you will be transferred to Paris, Foreign Legion Recruitment Center. On you're in Paris you will need to: Confirm your desire to join the Legion. Be able to pass a basic medical screening. Sign a 5 year contract Again, if you pass and are still interested in joining, you will be sent to the Recruitment and Selection Center in Aubagne where you will need to: Be able to pass psychological, personality, and logic tests Be able to pass a more thorough medical and dental exam. Be able to pass a background check (Interpol, among others). Contrary to popular myth, the Legion, like any other professional fighting force, is not eager to fill its ranks with criminals. Exceptions for minor convictions are possible but if you killed a man, its not likely you'll get in. At this point, you will be given one last opportunity to either affirm your desire to join the Legion or back out. During this entire process, accommodations and food are provided by the Legion. The whole recruiting & selection process takes (in most cases) 2 – 5 weeks. If you pass, congratulations! You'll be given a pseudonym and begin your training as a prospective Legionnaire and start on your 5 year contract. The initial training runs 15 weeks with the first 5 weeks being the "boot camp" portion. For more details on this process and life in the Legion overall, I recommend Evan McGorman's book - Life in the French Foreign Legion: How to Join and What to Expect When You Get There. Before you start packing your bags to France though, I want to mention some key facts: 1 in 10 recruits will not survive their first 5 year contract. The training for the Legion is among the toughest and most challenging in the world. Once complete the training at Aubagne, you belong to the Legion. You leave by completing your term or you die. The Legion deploys to areas like Djibouti, Cote D'Ivoire, and other high-conflict areas. Combat is a way of life for a Legionnaire. That being said, if you injured during a battle as Legionnaire, you can immediately apply for French citizenship under a provision known as "Français par le sang versé" ("French by spilled blood". So, if this all sounds like a good idea to you, head on over here - FOREIGN LEGION RECRUITMENT WEBSITE. The only way of joining is to take a fight to Paris then take the metro, walk up to their recruitment center and sign up. There are 5 centers all over France but going to Paris is most advisable as its the main recruiting center. It's not very easy to get in, they have a lot of candidates arriving every day. Statically 1 in every 8 candidates get recruited. The website gives you all the information you need. No one can help you join, do some research via Google, pack your bags and leave. YouTube has a lot of videos which details the lives of légionnaires in training. Try joining in the month of March that way you do basic training on summer and not winter. Trust me it makes a difference. |
