Hi all,
I am a newbie to the site and I am very glad I found it. This site is a wealth of information.
I am considering trying to enter the Legion. I maybe a little crazy as I would be 34 years old if I try for selection. I need to do a lot of work on my fitness and my French is a little rusty but the Legion is somewhere I have wanted to go since I was a 13 year old reading books on it and listening to my dad (he served 29 years in the Irish Army and fought against a few of the 1st REP who were mercenaries in the Congo). He held them in very high regard. Unfortunately life did a couple of uturns on me when I was younger and I never got to go when I wanted to. But now it seems the time maybe right for me - whether it is right for the Legion or not I guess time will tell.
I look forward to trying to work through all of the information here to help me decide what to do.
Thanks
