What are the age limits for Legion recruits?
The Legion’s basic age requirements are 17-40 years old (Parental or legal tutor authorization is required for minors). Now in my day, in the 1970s, I joined very much under age, as no paperwork or ID were required. However, the Legion now requires applicants to hold a valid official identity card, so you have to be within the age limits. What’s more, with competition now VERY tough, & with plenty of very fit East Europeans, anyone over 30 might have trouble being accepted. If you are over 30 but are extra fit & have suitable military experience, go ahead & try. But be prepared for a hard time!
