How do I go about starting a new life? Should I fake my death?
I'm just a person living in the city who wants to live in solitude within the wild.
I want just leave my past behind and start a new chapter in my life.
The people around me make me feel alone and I can never truly be myself.

I hope this helps you as it helped me.
>Should I fake my death?
no need to.
1. choose your "in the wild" target location. have a few solo week-end trips to know the site. avoid being tracked: no cellphone, no public transport involving security cams. noone must know.
2. buy some used van and pack it with everything you will need to settle there. then park it near an airport.
3. choose a random location in some hard to reach place. say, northern Alaska. Tell friends and family you're moving there. Actually move there for some time, say 10 days. Use internet and cellphone only to tell friends you'll be barely reachable - alibi to keep them quiet when you'll switch definitely off your cellphone.
4. leave your phone there and go back to your packed van and go for the designated spot.
5. this way, it'll take them quite a while to get in touch with you:
- by facebook / cellphone
- by checking about your physical presence there (police won't give a shit because they will know you took a plane to go back)
- by checking airports and shit
- by checking surroundings for your presence
- and everytime knowing that you didn't anything illegal and just don't want to be annoyed again.
eventually they will just accept it and stop searching for you.
be purposeful, get a ticket, fly to france and join the foreign legion. Best 5 years of my life, best people you view the world and at the end. you can be anyone you want, any identity any background, anyone. They also give you a get out of anything pass, a number you can call to be saved from anything. best of luck
+citizenship, good pay, and memories
No need to fake your death.
Just wander off into the wild and that's it.
You'll eventually be declared missing and then presumed dead.
Why not confront your present, before you try to create a new life.
Explain your feelings to the people around you, and there's no reason for them not to accept you.
Do i need a passport to travel from UK to france?(not op here just in similar position as op) got rejected from UK army and it's my only dream to serve, i'm built for it only.
i've been told after my rejection to join foreign legion but don't have ind ate passport and not much funds atm.
thanks for solid advice though user really want to do this!
you dont need your passport to join, but as far as the french goverment is concerned you are dead. If you want it to be that way. I went through the gates of the facility and asked them to change my identity. They made a story and as far as the united states goverment is concerned , old me is dead.
You meet the best people and become very close with them. Its been 3 years still know all of my combat buds.
Also it pays quite nice
Kill yourself and be reincarnated as a potato.
I'm so jealous i fucking need brothers and sisters in war, I meant a passport for UK>france airport travel, But Gov.uk says i do, ah well cheers for info anyway i'm making this my new direction to go.
Hey this might not help you that much but I thought about faking my death too so I started gathering information and read this book
en.m.wikipedia.org
its as easy as just leaving without word to anyone user. your making disappearing out to be harder then it really is. plus i recommend you stay in the woods a bit before you make the leap to living in the wild especially if your a city kid who thinks mother nature just piss and rainbows.
best of luck, Im tired with civ life, ill probably see you there. Since its my 2nd tour ill probably get to choose where i want to go DJIBOUTI all the way! occasional firefights fun and easy, africans and there full auto ak47s cant aim for shit!
Also, if you DO decide to hide out in the wilderness, just assume wherever you go is Australia.
That is to say, assume that everything and anything is actively out to kill you unless you can confirm that it won't.
what kind of physical tests are required?
i mean if you are an average person, not a basement fag, doing some sports here and there, and can lift 70-80kgs without panting after that, does that mean you can get in?
is there a psychological test besides the obvious scizophrenic filter?
well, since it's still schengen, so you dont need one.
just do it before brexit fag.
I just read it a second ago(uk fag here)
minimum 7 beep tests per min or something, and minimum 4 pull ups, pretty basic tbh
When I joined(8 years ago), they had doctors do the normal shit and after that you just went through the gates and that was it. You were in. In the beginning theres about 1 month of French lessons(You better learn quick) coupled with standard army phyiscal shit. If you get through month one they start dehydrating you and malnourishing you, this is only for a bit I promise, before you go out and train for the day I would always drink a shit ton from the fountains and throw up later but still be hydrated. THis lasts for about a month then you receive your blue cap(huge honor) then finish training in France and train in different countries. I went to french guiana to train for jungle warfare. After that you are deployed and life is good. Always got enough stuff and its comfy, dont get too comfy. I got sent to east africa. Bastards shot at us at every chance,(always miss). I cant describe how it affected my life. It was amazing.
Legion fag here, not even, you just get passed physical and go straight to training
what is the oldest age do you advice to go for it?
not by the rules, but by your judgement.
The max age is 40, I joined on my 21 first birthday, I was naive and stupid at the time, it teaches life skills man. Nowadays im cool as ice, dont really get really angry and can keep control.
I think the max age for us young adults is probably 35, thats when you start slowing down.
I joined because I had got nowhere in life and my family hated me so I said screw it and I have a wife and a kid on the way in Calais!
Don't know if should join, really want to but don't really wanna die.
What do you think, should join or not?
the legion teaches you honor, courage, and compassion in the face of death you will tell it to fuck off.
Anyone want any combat stories?
which poster are you?
I want combat stories, please give anything you got mate(uk fag from earlier) i'm still monitoring this thread to make sure it doesn't die, i'm getting really fucking exicted about joining, just a pain to get there.
sure, go on. plus for one when you saw somebody die.
The one that doesn't really wanna die and has (I guess) a normal future
Alright, its july 21 2011, im in Djibouti. Eastern near coast. We're there to protect the goverment from terrorists and looneys. Im in the passenger seat of a transport truck and we hear a crack up front at the start of the convoy. Draver slams brakes and I jump out grab my famas and hit the ground. Whole squad jumps out the back of the truck. A private sticks his head like a dumbass to see whats up front, gets slammed hard by a 7.62 in the chest. Yell at our corpsman to drag him to the truck
CONT?
Do I need to speak french?
Yes
They teach you
Fuck yeah, continue.
I'm a person who does live in solitude in the wild.
Unfortunately, internet access is available via satellite anywhere, and its wayyy more worthwhile to have it than not, and as soon as you have it, there you are, back on /b talking to these horrible people all day. ...with almost no one else to talk to in real time.
Round misses the kids heart and hes in a lot of pain. Tell the driver to use the truck to block off the road. My squad lead moves us up to the front car and we begin enaging some Africans in the treeline about 200 yards out. I manage to pop one in the gut and he falls. Private is still alive but in critical condition, we also dont have helicopters here. The kid eventually dies but the fight is still going on. Kids name was Erik if anyone was wondering.
CONT?
Suddenly the future looks brighter...
Any age restrictions?
18, and fit for service
wat a curse
rly thinking bout joining not sure if want to
cont 3
At this point with a casualty we would fuck off and retreat, but the government building was our objective to reach and secure a perimeter around.
Squad leader gets dinked in the head with a sniper rifle, skims his helmet(lucky fucker). To clarify, we are in a pot hole off the side of the road thats maybe 25 feet long. We can't run anyway and know we got a sniper.
I'm 24 and in my country 23 is the max age to join.
Is there a max limit?
cont 4, we threw some smoke grenades to block off the vision of the treeline. Problem is they cant see us, but we cant see them either. We run our asses back to the trucks, where I see our trucks driver shot to shit, I have to pull him out and put him in the pothole. Squad lead gets in as driver and we haul ass to the government complex while getting shot at. Couple hours later another convoy went on the route and didnt find the driver. He was most likely dead, but he looked at me in the eyes. Still see him sometimes, but he was basically dead anyways
yes ,40
want anymore or is that enough? I have some fun firefights if anyones interested
Thanks m8, I truly believe that combat reveals who you really are and also connects you with a new family.
>Should I fake my death?
Yes. First take all of your money out in cash over a few weeks so not to arouse suspicion. Then throw an old hat you used to wear into the wombat enclosure at the zoo. Then just disappear to a new city and change your name. Everyone will assume you were eaten by wombats and you're home free. Easy.
So no more? I can answer any questions anyone has about the legion. Really recommend it especially if you feel pointless in life. It gave me a purpose
Any pics while in service?
Faking your death is actually pretty simple. You can get a death certificate so easy these days.
Im in the left and back, this photo was featured on a few websites! My friend Erik was in the right hand side
Id love to answer any service questions anyone had!
Man I studied abroad in France last year, and once I got home, my life pretty much turned to shit and I've been contemplating the Foreign Legion since then (I love France, and would love to have citizenship). Currently wrapping up my associates degree and if I dont get accepted to any universities I want, its either that, or the Airforce for me
FUCK you're ugly, holy shit
keep going dude
Thanks! My k/d is still higher than yours!
how long is an average mission?
what do you do between them besides training i guess
missions or deployments. A service tour is 5 years long(Goes faster than you think).
A deployment could last 3 months or 5 years. Up to command. A standard mission for me, which were patrols and insertions were from 2 hours to a week
Also, in our free time we would dick around with guns and be idiots. Plenty of videos online of that! My favorite moment though was when we tought a monkey how to pull a famas trigger and let it loose in the canyon!
any other interesting stories?
Yeah!, in our free time on base we were not allowed to leave base, but the african locals had a very strong moonshine type drink that everyone loved. We would buy them with ak bullets, which they would later in return shoot at us with. One night a couple friends of mine go out towards the village to buy some. No running water or lights. As we walk into the village we realize we just fucked up. Because we saw about 15 black men with ak's against a wall looking towards our base.
Cont?
sure
Holy fuck. I wish there was a video of that.
Alright, we see these dudes and I tell my friend Rupert to back out and leave, while I purchase the moonshine. I walk up towards the dudes with my rifle on my back and with bullets in my hand and they recoil back point their rifles at me and look scared as fuck. I throw the bullets to the ground and gesture "drink". they get it and call the woman who makes it. She takes the bullets and leads me into the villages main hut. The dudes with ak's were behind me. And i was thinking 'FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK". She brings out the moonshine and hands me a clay pot with some of it inside. I take a seat and sip it. The men sit down and have some too. So I basically spent the night there in the village getting drunk with the men who were supposed to kill me. Quite fun, in the morning I walked back to base without my rifle. Idk what the fuck happened to it. And got chewed out by my superior. To this day Rupert says im bullshitting. Good times
If everyones gone, best of luck and join the legion!
Ignore this cunt
Generally you look like a proper tough happy squad, sorry about your erik friend, Thanks for sharing story though mate can't wait to join this, given me purpose now.
where are most of the people, that join the legion form?
Neat m8. Do they give you the opportunity to train as explosives specialist, marksman and so on?
Its the same thing as the french army just with foreign troops
Cool, and i guess is just army, right? No air force, navy, etc?
We have helicopter pilots!
Every country around the world! We had a Mongolian!
Make sure you get a plant identification book for your area
Damn good.. You should make thread of q&a about this.
I'll do my bit of research and maybe in the future, when I run out of options, I'll join.
Thanks for the enlightment tho.

I told my family that I was going to travel around Europe for a month (I'm English), I left everything that had my name on it behind, my phone, everything.
I then moved 560 miles north to the highlands of Scotland and have been living here ever since. I have a new name and work solidly without having to pay any tax, never had any kind of state assistance or made myself eligible to vote etc.
You don't have to fake your death, just go, then never look back.
I forgot to mention, I have lived here for 23 years.
So full of shit, in the Legion they train you properly, this bullshit you've shovelled in our direction might fool these basement-dwellers, but sonny, it's all shit.
The picture is on many sites, yep, that's where you found it you lying cunt.
cool?
aww shit nigga, five star poast right there
>needs mayhem to learn and gain things that children get from just being normal
real helpful, passengers like you
You wouldn't understand brotherhood in war
;-)
the trick is letting go of progress while still progressing
>both forces in both directions
How were you able to change identity?
Bump. Any other methods besides faking death or army. I mean moving somewhere and getting a new identity for yourself
