Best part of joining French legion.

 The argument that the Legion Foreign offers you a "clean Slate" isn't true.

Once you are back home, a new identity and having served in the Foreign Legion will not make it easier for you to get a job.

Legion can give you a new name and even a passport with that name, but in Google's years, it's much easier for your future employer to check your background and past.

In addition, your high school diploma or degree, if you have one, is still in your old name. Good luck getting another job besides a security guard or a private military contractor!

These days, most people join the Legion for money. The pay is similar to that of a regular French Army and this means that a person from Nepal will earn many times more money in the Legion than they would ever dream of doing at home.

That is why so many South asian are signing up. They enjoy traveling to France without visas and can travel there cheaply by bus, making it much easier for them to join.

Once they are in the Legion, they are able to make enough money to feed their families at home who used to live in below average life.

Being able to help your family; this is the best part of joining the Legion.You will learn another language, and why not even pick up one more, you’ll find plenty of people to learn it from.

If you cannot drive, you will get a your HGV or trucks drivers license. in French.
