I suppose as it is a Foreign Legion, knowledge or ignorance of the French language does not matter.

Good luck Dave!

I believe that that is the requirement to go to join up(enrole)Selection is a process similar to joining the SAS a series of test's both physical and mental to see if you an cope.Many years ago you could join up and give a false name and history and they would take no notice.

Just for the record, I know I'm a psycho, don't need any tests to confirm!

What about the issue that stopped you joining the army Dave, will it be an issue again ?

Both very good points indeed, from looking into there selection process it seems they do own tests how ever I do think they do there onw investigations as well.

I'm not going too hide it plus I've posted it before and here it is again.

so you all have an idea what went wrong.

He did say, he is available to speak with you on the phone about the tests and interviews. He is a nice chap and he is easy going. Positive thoughts 😀

Hiya Phil how you doing very good advise there I wouldn't even mentioned that anyway too me that's not the reason for me.

Would great too speak too him as I need too know how strict and how far on my medical records they'll look into if they do and shut the door like the army did and then failed before I even started.

Sorry, I have to ask - why did the British Armed Forces turn you down?

Ahh, just read back...I suspect any army wants soldiers that want to live - as ironic as that is.......

That sounds like a brilliant opportunity and I would grab it with both hands. At the moment you are casting about for more extreme opportunities you don't actually want - you just want to be a good honest soldier - give him a ring if you haven't
