How would an American Join the Russian military?

It is very easy. The Russians like France has a foreign legion that just about anyone can join. Just google Russia Foreign legion recruitment website for more info.

If you were rejected by the U.S. military it was probably for a medical / Psyche problem / crime, it might come as a shock the Russians would reject you for exactly the same thing, they are NOT in the habit of taking other countries rejects.

Aside from that:-

1. Do you speak Russian?

2. How do you propose to get to Russia to sign up?

3. Do you really think they will pay to bring your family with you?

4, Does this page look like the Russian Embassy to you?

The only thing useful that you have is that you speak and write American English.

The Russians would use you as a English conversation trainer. Not teaching English, just using somebody to practice on. But your medical and mental conditions may make it likely that they take you out for bayonet practice. Not that they are brutal or anything.

*Laughter.*

If you speak Russian they might take you. But with all of those medical conditions I doubt they would be so keen to do it. The Russian army just transitioned into the art of using socks last year. Before that they used foot wraps. As Wine said the living conditions are pretty bad, recently they've requested soldiers examine each other in the showers to find "homosexual tattoos".

If you think you want that then go for it. But expect hazing and a lot of it because you're American.

"i have: Asperger's, Non-Coprolalic Tourettes Syndrome, mild Depression, and ADD/ADHD. Most of these diagnoses are out of date. I still have the Tourette's syndrome.

These diagnoses, particularly the Tourettes, have kept me out of: US Armed Forces (Including Coast Guard, Army Nat'l Guard, Air Nat'l Guard, Reserves), Local Police, County Sheriff's Office, MO Highway Patrol, and EMT positions."

I doubt even the Russians are that hard up. Not to mention pay for a Russian Private is RUB 5,000 ($180 USD) a month.

And unlike the US military I highly doubt they give a sh*t about families or family housing,

Look at sh*t on YouTube guy. Their living conditions are like the US military in the 40s...if that even.

The Russian military is still very hands on in terms of leadership and discipline. You burst out in one of your little Tourettes episodes and some Russian NCO is going to conduct a little wall to wall counseling.

You haven't though this through real well have you?

America has conducted joining exercises with the Russian military and even helped them rebuild their infrastructure and modernize their training and tactics. I wouldn't recommend trying to enlist in another countries military because they'll always doubt your motives. However you could work on becoming an adviser through the U.S. military on joint operations.

What makes you think they want you?
