Joining the FFL is a terrible idea.
From the 3rd world and just want citizenship? Knock up or marry some European or American bitch.
On the other hand, if you really really don't know what to do with your life, and have decided you are willing to use violence as a jump start to a new life, you are better off becoming a mercenary/hitman (better pay), or robbing a bank (again, better pay).
The training in the FFL is brutal, the life is Spartan. The reality is not at all glamorous.
If you make it you will be sent into combat repeatedly.
You are not seen as a real French soldier and are considered expendable. Cannon fodder for high risk and unpleasant missions.
Your risk of serious injury or death is very real.
You are very likely to be sent into some shit hole in Africa to fight in support of France's economic interests.
If you make it 5 years, congratulations, you are now a 3rd rate French citizen looked down upon by "real" French.

"Me llaman el desaparecido
Que cuando llega ya se ha ido
Volando vengo, volando voy
Deprisa deprisa a rumbo perdido"
