Which reminds me, we still haven't heard anything from BBCody, No news in this case is good news.

Greetings and salutations,
What's up everyone, reporting live from 2e REP. I only have my phone for a few minutes. I start FTS tomorrow morning after my 8 kil ruck run. I'll be out of contact for another 3 weeks afterwards I'll fill you in on my adventures. Thanks for inquiring about me, I'm so proud to be able to wear my jump wings on my uniform. I got to go right now I talk again soon.
Cheers,
B. B. CODY

Well done mate. Anyone who has any questions about joining should look through BBCody's earlier posts concerning age and hiccups with the law.
Not only has he made it, he's made it to the REP.
Absolutely. It is a motivation to hear he''s in considering his circumstances, specifically the age factor!

It's awesome to be able to receive info and updates from people on this forum.

Congratulations my man, job well done. Do your best, understand the mundane tasks have a purpose, and one day you will be past the one picked for corvée, etc.

Apparently this is something that happens when someone is very fit, the machine gives false readings. So I go to a hotel for the evening, and today I went and stumbled around the military hospital in Marseille to get my heart checked.
You are right about this. A Bosnian guy had same issue. Unfortunately he didn't have money for hospital so he went home. Don't know what happened to home. Last time we heard from him he was going for a third attempt. We haven't heard from him since then.

I simply congratulate Buffalo Bill Cody. Well done indeed.(y)

At my age I am not jealous and simply wish all aspirants well. Jealousy does not enter the picture.

After all I did it my way and it was extremely hard. :D

However my respect for the Foreign Legion endures.

Me too. I'm also glad when do someone from here get in, but there is little bit healthy jealousy. Mixed feelings.

I know what you mean by jealous, not like you're mad he got in and you're not...like you want to be in his position right now! Like right now! Haha
Stay driven man, the power of thought can do great things, we fix our thoughts on the things we want to manifest, we are the sum of our thoughts, I'm not speaking magic, I'm talking being driven and consumed with something so much that it is the majority of what you think about... I hope to see you get that Képi Blanc Dusa!
