    You could be a cop if you&#39;re just bored. But I don&#39;t recommend it if you&#39;re not committed. Most careers recquire you to be committed to what you&#39;re doing.

    You&#39;re an American.

    Why not join the US Marines?

    Or the French Foreign Legion if you are desperate enough?

    Try the Peace Corp...

    Marching endlessly and blowing shit up might seem like a lot of fun, but I think bringing fresh water to village who has never had it by digging a well, or helping teach people how to break the cycle of starvation through planning and agriculture might just be a lot more meaningful.

    Plus, you&#39;d still get to see a lot of the world.

    Just in case you didn&#39;t know - Foreign Legion fights almost every day. There is a huge difference between US military units and the Foreign Legion.

    Well all I say if you want to join the French Forreign Legion then do yourself a favor and atleast take some French lessons...personally I can`t think of any other military unit that are so much involved , most Legioners atleast get a trip to Africa .

    I also know there is a book on amazon( <---- yes know it sounds kind of stupid ) that gives you advises for the FFL and stuff...actually I might buy that one only to read it , not that
    I want to join the legion ( I`m not healthy enough anyway
    ) .

    Yeah, I have a copy of the book.

    It&#39;s called "Life in the French Foreign Legion, what it&#39;s like and what to expect once you get there".


    Written by Evan McGorman, ex-Legionnaire.

    It&#39;s a very detailed description, even instructions to anyone interested in joining the Legion.

    This book is most probably the ONLY real resource a person has when considering joining the Legion.

    I have searched far and wide for info on what joining is like and about, this is the only thing that I ever found.

    Even in the book, he tells that he decided to write the book due to the lack of information out there.
