Bon soir, geepod,
since several Bootnecks have re enlisted after service in the Legion, it should be possible.
On page six of miss diss is a topic called "French Foreign Legion and Royals wot go" or similar. Have a skeg and give us your input, mate, particularly about what I posted about my visit to Aubagne. I`d be very interested.

And welcome aboard, Tom :wink:

Bon Soiree mon chef, a bientot

I had a very close friend who did just that. No reason why not provided you pass all the necessary criteria. However, it may be different if someone has deserted from the Legion.

I am an ex legionnaire, the legion is not a stepping stone to the sas or anything else, when you have served with honour and fidelite not spent 1 week at aubagne before bottling it back to the uk you will see what I mean.
