Back in 2000, I tried for the French Foreign Legion, considering the following, should I be proud I tried?
Back in 2000, I joined the French Foreign Legion with the intent of serving. It was something I really wanted to do, and had looked forward to since high school. (Graduated in 95.) However about three weeks into my service, after finishing my Kepi walk, I was injured in a training accident. Because of my injuries, I was unable to continue my service and released on medical reasons.
My question is this: Should I be proud of what little I accomplished, or should this be a footnote in my service history?
Notes: I was injured when the vehicle we were riding in over turned. I suffered a broken leg and three fractured vertebrae, leaving me in hospital for the better part of three months. I still have pain in my back from the vertebrae which were fused together, and numbness in my left leg.
