OOC: Anyone?

(OOC: I think your standards are too high.)

(OOC: What do you mean?)

(The requirements, knowing all those languages, having previous military service, knowing two types of unarmed martial arts. It's unrealistic, there are vary few people who fit those categories, and most would be serving with they're nations militaries. Be at least 5'9", your putting a hight requirement on this?)

OOC: Height is removed. I should have made this clearer, a soldier has to have an understanding of at least one of those languages listed above.

Very interesting... Indeed. I speak Poldavian and French fluently. As for to be a Legionary I'm experienced with 5 years soldating as an officer in a similar army.

Our model was to work, because it is a very profesional job, in pair.
The unit is somposed of two soldiers.
The pay is secondary, the equipment is what we have.
And most important is to have faith in the chain of command.
Legio Patria Nostra.

(OOC: well your standards still seem a little high, maybe you should look at the BLF's applicant requirements.)

Be able to run four and a half miles in sixty minutes while dawning full military equipment
OOC an the Weight of it is ?

Minor point;

You don't load 'clips' of ammunition into glocks or assault rifles, you load magazines. Otherwise it looks quite good, slightly high personal specifications perhaps. I would advise removing the martial arts and language qualifications, the french foreign legion teach both as part of their training and they are pretty damn good.

Any gender-based requirements?

OOC: I'm RPing as San Castello, since wheniever I post as it, it never works.

San Castellan members of the Greal Foreign Legion in Formal Uniform

The Holy Catholic Microstate of San Castello pledges 20 of it's top military soldiers, as well as 40 recruits, to the Greal Foreign Legion. All of these men and women who signed up have full requirements as asked for. However, these recruits are volounteers that have signed up, believing that they are willing for the job. Even if these volounteers have no military experience, I assure you that we have tested them well. They can speak a variety of languages. All can speak English and Greali, as well as Castellan Italian, and some can speak French, German, Spanish, Dutch, and Proper Italian.

All military personell of San Castello have been taught the traditional hand-to-hand combat of San Castello, the Nogladium. All military personell have also been taught Castellan Italian, English, Greali (we are a microstate of yours, after all), and French. Some may know other languages as well.

We have tested all of those who applied, and all can run 4 1/2 miles with full equipment. The majority could run it in 60min. or less, but some have not. However, some of the best soldiers of San Castello have been sent to Greal, and we hope they serve you well.

Just, what are the responsibilities of the Greal Foreign Legion?

Country: The Most Serene Noble Republic of Santheres
Number of troops: 50,000

Some common folk who found themselves without good job opportunities after their mandatory 5-years of military service have been offered benefits in Santheres in addition to GFL's benefits.

For one, it gets them out of the crowded cities, even if they are less than one ten-thousandth of the population. Another detachment of 50,000 may be sent in the future, upon request from Greal and should enough volunteer. Santheres wishes amiable relations with Greal in light of Our promotion of this voluntary service within Our borders.

All Santherese learn English, Italian, and Spanish during school, as those are primary languages. Chances of them knowing any others are very slim. We do not fully understand the requirement of two forms of martial arts, though most soldiers are heavily trained and experienced in hand-to-hand combat.

OOC: Tried to post this six hours ago, but jolt decided to have some fun with me. :(

Errikan culture was, at heart, very much a military one. Even in the other pursuits to which they devoted their lives—notably family, business, politics—this culture shined through. The citizen-soldier was an ideal in life for most young men, who faced the compulsory, intensely demanding military training all met with upon coming of age with gusto.

However, with the hundred million man imperial military no longer expanding—at least not in any way comparable to the past—the vast majority of these new soldiers found themselves being turned back to civilian life, reminded to come in for the scheduled refreshers and told to be ready to be called up in the case of a war, but otherwise given no outlet, no further military experiences. These men overwhelmingly joined the conventional workforce, but some—numbering in the tens of thousands—sought other means of exercising their cultural passions and acquired skills; typically middle or younger sons, or those of small or poor families, they often joined mercenary or security forces, or sought similar such work. Whenever such opportunities turned up, however, they would flock to foreign legions, full military forces which would value their expertise.

Nation: Errikland
Number of troops: 20,000

They are universally fluent in both English and German, though of the Errikan variety (distinct accents, but clearly intelligible), and average 6’2”; the bulk of the remainder of the criteria were aspects of prior military training.

All have been approved except for Santheres, please limit your numbers to 30,000.
