Martin, tu as donnes les conseils. Il les a ecoute ! Il a rentre dans les rangs de la legion.A lesson for all you blues. About 18 months ago, my mates boy asked a few questions, took what I said on board and went straight to Aubagne after getting his fitness levels and french skills up. I got a Christmas card him yesterday , he made it and is living the dream out in the jungles of Guyane. Will raise a glass tonight Carl outstanding.
), wid (wids name is not in Green for some reason but his posts and others, mostly Greens and a Blue, confirm that he is a Legionnaire and currently serving..), and Notatexan. There could be more, but that is all I have found. You could also technically count californiajai too as he came here an Ancien Green, went and did some Blue (serving Blue) for his own National Army (USA) and then returned to the Legion thus going (serving) Green again.. I believe he is still there.. (in the Legion). So there is a bit of a transition there, a very very interesting one I might add and he has a ton of great posts and threads. Another one you could add to this list is Legion-eire. He came to this forum as a Green but he has written a blog (check the link out on his profile) where he basically (in great detail) writes about his transition from Blue, to Green, to Ancien. He has just recently ended his Legion career after serving 5 years. He joined in 2008. His blog (in my opinion) is outstanding. It was interesting to read through his posts on this forum as well and see the different opinions voiced from other Greens including Anciens in regards to what and how he wrote about his time.. personalities frequently clashed and the different points of view were priceless reading. I'll edit in any others as/if I come across them 
If you want to read some transitions from Blue to Green, (that stayed), forum members that came here Blue and turned Green, check out these members: mm66, mammikoura, teenzyla92, nemuksis, Outlander, rickyhimalayan, Sparrow, tdesouza, kalle1988, lloydy1984, Zoran, and Zanzara (Zanzara was initially just a fan and did not intend on joining but he went from fan, to wannabe, to volunteer, then got in
There has been plenty of good news on this forum, yes there have been more rejections and crushed dreams, but that is the Legion for ya.. only 1 in 8/10/12/15 (pick a number) make it
There's only one, and his birthday is coming up soon. Believe me if you get a combat reg. and a combat cie. you'll be asking him to get you out safely more than once in a career. St. Michel has had more prayers from me then I've put posts on the forum. He would be "thanked" a record number of times by all paras.Nope.. not Jesus Christ.. there is no forum member with that user name..
Saint George for us sadines mate but know what you mean/
Well being in guyane he could have with all the marching powder in transit to europe
That is what I call "The Christmas spirit"
That was mild and not Legion style at all. mind you I hadn't drunk enough,right back to the Jack Daniels,That is what I call "The Christmas spirit"
Yes, It makes me scratch my head...when you mentioned you gave advice to the young man, I figure what could it be unless it was to JUST GO AND FIND OUT. Agreed, nothing more to really want to know, right?. Hell, the first time I went, I just went, froze my ass off in Paris at Nogent because it was December...then the second time I went, I sweated my ass off @ 1RE because it was flipping mid july and those damn insects that hhiss or make that godly noise, wouldn't ever shut up and its all your heard. So now when I go for the third time...Maybe I shall make it in the fall or spring. Got winter and Summer covered already
