Hello friends,
First off all - thank you for this forum, it has been very useful for me the last few months.
I am a 29-year old european man who will knock on the door of the foreign legion in a few weeks.
I have several reasons for wanting to join but the biggest one is the opportunity for a second chance of life, a life with purpose and pride.
I decided a few months ago and have been training for this,s learning basic french and reading/watching videos about the legion every day.
This is the right way for me I know it in my heart and my only fear is being rejected definitf.
Physically and mentally I will pass the intial tests, I am also very confident in my ability to communicate my motivation.
My teeth and health are also perfect, no scars, no damage or injuries, no nothing.
I have however one dilemma and was hoping to get some advice in this matter:
In my life I have smoked weed and partied with cocaine, also used steroids.
My instinct is to be 100% honest with this because it was more when I was younger and it has been less and less and almost nothing the last year.
I want the legion to be my new home and family and lying then seems wrong, also I suspect if I get caught lying this would definitly make me definitif.
Also I sincerely believe that in spite of this history I am a good candidate and I feel confident the legion will see this.
However I have seen people getting advice here not to talk about smoking weed or even cigarettes so this confuses me.
I would greatly appreciate a comment in this regard to help me in my process.
Thank you,
