Hello, im Francisco or "frankie". Im 21yrs old from Argentina, Buenos Aires province (not the city). I practice boxing and play football/soccer as hobby. Since i finished school i´ve been working on a craft beer factory until last december.
I tried to join the military of my country but they wont let me in because i have tattoos. When they told me i couldnt join beacuse of the ink i started looking on the internet how could i get them removed and i found that they actually can be erased with laser. Unfortunately for me, laser is expensive as f*ck considering my salary was of 300-400usd working 12hr a day.. (no vacations). Laser was not an option to my pocket so i continued my search and i found the legion.. never been more happy in my life. I get to serve and keep my tattoos hehe.
Im not gonna lie, i would have loved to serve my home country but i feel the same for the legion, even though is different.
So now a couple of questions.
regarding the physical, im currently running 8km in 39-40mins, i can do 50 well done push ups (chest to the floor and fully extended arms) and 12 well done pull ups (chin to the bar and fully extended arms) is this fine to pass selection and castel? ive read a lot on the internet and i dont know what to believe at this point so i will choose to believe you.
regarding the medical, i got a surgery in my shoulder in 2016 because it popped out playing rugby. it is healed, never gave me a problem again. should i take a medical certificate of this? or they will examinate over there?
I am traveling the last days of july so if my running or something with the phyisical is bad i have time to get it better. (you tell me)
I understand that to join the most important thing is to have a strong head (psychologically) and that aint no problem for me, im 100% motivated.
i love to work hard and i can complete any task they ask me to do.
Please correct me if this isn´t the correct place or section of the forum to post this and sorry if my english is not very good!! im more focused on learning french hehe.
Thanks for taking the time and reading this and i hope you can help me with those little questions. I promise a couple of beers in france to the best answer
