I’ve done the search on the forums and wanted a more clear answer. Apologies in advance for the time you gentlemen will take in helping clarify this.
1. I’ve downloaded the “Babbel” app and have begun practicing basic French vocabulary and pronunciation in preparation. However I don’t feel as though I’ll be 100% fluent by the time I arrive at the gates. With that being said;
Will the interviews be conducted in English?
Will it be better to attempt to speak French or admit I know a little or would it be a detriment for me to attempt to speak French as it might seem like I’m a “know it all American”?
2. I plan on bringing my Honorable Discharge paperwork from the army. Originals not photocopies as I don’t want to give the impression I plan on going back to the USA. Would it be better to not tell them about my prior military experience? I feel as though if I tell them then I would be scrutinized even more on everything that I do and what could be a simple mistake for a civilian and overlooked might make me look like a “screw up” because I’m prior service.
I got out of the army in 2015 and am a little rusty on land navigation etc.
3. I’m not interested in becoming a cook or logistics or non-combat roles though I am 100% prepared to do whatever the Legion asks of me. With that being said, if I want to be in a combat job will they allow me that preference after I’ve completed my training?
Thanks in advance for your time.
