The French Foreign Legion is the only standing mercenary force in the world that openly recruits foreigners. It was established in 1831 by the French King Louis Philip to supplement the shortage of troops and meet the needs of overseas colonization. It takes five years to change a legal status, and the biggest attraction of the foreign legion is this. You can stay in France for 5 years as a soldier. You can submit identification, sign a contract, psychological test, IQ test, physical examination, physical fitness test, criminal record investigation, interview with chief and security unit, obtain contract, recruit training, if you are selected by the corps, you will Will be sent to castlenaudary for 16 weeks of basic training, just like other modern armies. They assume you know nothing and teach from scratch.
The Corps is your family, your residence, and your life. The motto of the Corps is that the Corps is our home (logiopatrianostra). Corps officers and all non-commissioned officers and soldiers spend Christmas with everyone, not wives and children.
Unacceptable situations: The following situations cannot be accepted by the foreign corps. If you fall under the following conditions, it is recommended not to try, so as not to waste your time and the foreign corps' time.
1 Cannot run: Any physical condition that prevents you from running will not be accepted by the foreign corps.
2 Moderate or higher color.
3 Homosexuality. This was said by a member of the Corps on the Internet. I don't know if the Foreign Corps accepts homosexuals, but I don't see anyone with homosexuality here. My advice is: If you are a homosexual, don't ask your partner to be a couple. The Bingtuan is a big family. Pursuing a partner is just as weird as pursuing your sister to be a girlfriend.
4 Myopia: As far as I know, people with myopia above 500 degrees probably have no chance of being accepted, but now you can go to surgery to correct myopia.
5 Surgery or injury records: Any obvious surgery or injury scars on your body may cause you to be rejected by the foreign corps.
6 Active-duty soldiers: Active-duty soldiers will not be accepted. If you are an active soldier, keep your mouth shut.
7 Wanted by Interpol: I don’t need to elaborate on this!
8Medical problems: Any medical problems in the selection center may cause you to get out of the door of the foreign corps.
9 Preparation before the trip: Please consider carefully before joining the foreign corps. Don't join the foreign corps when your life is in a mess. The foreign corps is not a compromise in your life. Remember that you will be away from your family and relatives for a very long time, and you may not be able to come back alive. Don't join when you are concerned, if you miss your parents, family, girlfriend... then don't join. You cannot return home when they have an accident. So, if it's not for the blessing of a loved one to join, or else just leave your loved one and join! money. Bring a small amount of cash and a credit card to join the Foreign Corps. Your credit card and cash in excess of approximately 60 Euros will be kept under mandatory custody. The money will be returned to you after you are rejected by the corps or before being sent to the new training center. In addition, some small change should be prepared for the vending machine. The vending machine accepts the following coins: 5?, 10?, 20?, 50?, 1€, 2€. Make sure you are in the best condition when you participate, and begin physical training six weeks before joining the Corps. No matter how stringent the physical requirements are, you must do everything you can to achieve it, because this will enhance your advantage. In basic training (new training center), everything you do will be the basis of grading, so the higher the final grade, the higher the chance of you being able to choose your own unit. Try to learn French as much as you can. Although you don't need to know French when you join the foreign corps, this at least allows this transitional period of learning French to pass earlier. In addition, if you know French, you will get a bonus.
10 Don't join with friends: this is not a summer camp, your friend can't help you much; on the contrary, he will only become your opponent. Even if you are all accepted by the Corps, you may not be in the same unit. Solve all medical problems (don't forget your teeth) before you join the foreign corps. Any medical problems will only prolong or even interrupt your application process. Don't forget to bring a cigarette (if you smoke), there are not many opportunities to buy cigarettes when you are a recruit in Aubagne.
11Visa: You can apply for a one-month tourist visa or a visa for more than one month in the name of a study tour. If your visa has expired after being rejected by the Foreign Corps, you can still leave France smoothly.
12 Dictionaries: Remember to bring a French dictionary in case you need it.
13 Personal supplies: razors, nail clippers, handkerchiefs, and basic toiletries. At that time, you can throw it away again and again.
14 Sports shoes: It is recommended to wear sports shoes to sign up, so you don't have to wear the sports shoes that the Corps gave you.
Address of 15 Recruitment Centers: There are a total of 16 foreign corps recruitment centers in France, plus Aubagne (aubagne) for a total of 17. If you want to save time, you can go directly to aubagne to sign up, which can save about 3 to 7 days. All recruitment centers are open 24 hours a day, all year round, but it is still recommended that you sign up during working hours to avoid closing your doors. Although the phone numbers are listed below, you don't have to bother to call to ask, because you must speak French, English will not work. For those who travel to France from Asia to join, you can go to the recruiting station in Paris located at fontenay-sous-bois (outside the east side of Paris) to join; or go directly to Marseille or the Corps headquarters in aubagne.
Some people will say, if they don’t speak French, how can they show their willingness to join? You can try to speak English. If you don’t speak English either, then go forward and give your passport to the corps member inside. That's it.

You admire the heroic appearance of mercenaries and special forces. You think they are too handsome. You think they will show the most moving brotherhood on the battlefield. You think you will be able to save you at the most dangerous time. You think you will save you. My friend Yu Qianjun made a shot, and then they helped each other towards the West together, but in fact, if you practice on the horizontal bar for a while and can’t get down, you will scream that you can’t stand it. You will be afraid of the hot pot wall, then you have to admit that you are just one. Mad dream girl cannon.
