I seek guidance

[AistisJan]

Good afternoon, my name is Aistis, I am 22 years old and I am from Lithuania.
I have already made my decision to join French Foreign Legion, but I have a problem. 3 days ago I have been diagnosed with Covid-19. Even though my flight to France is on monday I don’t think I will be already healthy until then. I seek for advice on what should I do next ? Should I go to France as soon as I get healthy and try to pass the selection. Or should I wait another month or two trying to fully recover and get stronger again ? (I feel much weaker right now) Don’t get me wrong, I’ve been already waiting 4 months till I could finally join, because I got my nose surgery done this september. I feel like I can’t wait no more and I really want to join.
Thank you for reading my story, best regards.

Personally, I would wait and get completely recovered.
If you are feeling weak, how would you be able to pass any physical tests.

Hello Aistis.Jan and welcome to the forum. It is worth pointing out that the legion has been around for a long time and will still be around in a month's time. I would recommend that you waited until you were fully recovered in order to give it 100%. Otherwise it's a long way to go just to be sent home.
