Introduction,
I am a young man who has always worked in restaurants.
Story,
Career went south with the pandemic and lost all the work I had. Used the time to obtain GED in order to join the US military. All went well enough until they asked for medical records. Hospitalized once as a result of mistakenly taking research chemicals. Realized there was no way forward and broke things off. Thinking of heading to France later in the year to get into the Legion as a result. I have no issues regarding criminal past, no issues regarding level of fitness, no longer have issues with smoking/drinking/drugs, and regarding medical only the issue of needing glasses. Reading through the forums for information regarding preparations/directions/recommendations.
Conclusion,
If I go they will surely ask me why I want to join the legion and why I did not join my countries military instead. I am not worried about answering the first so much but it is the second that most concerns me. Should I simply be honest with them regarding why I could not join or just give them some other reason. Any other advice or insight is welcome of course. Ultimately I understand that nothing is certain until one steps past the gates. Thank you for taking the time to go through my post.
