I am a content creator with an established following on TikTok, Facebook, and YouTube. I have a large catalog of content that does NOT involve anything military (skits, trends, etc.). If I join the Legion, am I allowed to have a trusted team member or manager schedule and post my old, pre-filmed videos or can I keep on making content after basic training Since the content doesn't show a uniform, military bases, or my current life, would the Legion still consider this a violation of their security and social media rules?

Hi everyone,

I am considering traveling to France to join the Legion, but I have a specific question regarding my current military status.

I am a currently serving soldier in my home country (Nigeria), and I am also an alumnus of a military boarding school here. The reality is that the pay is very poor, and the conditions are quite challenging, which is why I want to join the Legion for a better future and to use my skills.

Because of how things work here, I cannot tell my command that I am leaving to join another military. If I go to France, I will be leaving without an official discharge paper or permission.

My questions for the sub are:

1. During the security interviews (the "Gestapo"), will they explicitly demand to see my official military discharge or release papers?

2. If they find out I am still under contract with my home military and left without permission, is that an automatic rejection for desertion?

3. Does having a real military school and active-duty background help me enough to overlook the missing paperwork, or is it too big of a security risk for them?
