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
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.

Yes I think you could go for selection.

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.
