（续上）Encouraged by a quiet nod of approval from the RAN dive gurus who had training with his, he began the administration process to transfer.
  　　He tried to track the progress of his transfer application as it disappeared into battalion headquarters, but heard nothing ad the deadline expired for that year’s course and subsequently finding it had never left his unit’s in-tray. This was the straw that broke the camel’s back and Shane threw in his discharge papers in frustration.
  　　“My wife was shambles- me wife had left, taking me son, and I thought the Army had let my career down.
 　　 “I turned to the Legion because I wanted to do a real-job – the same reason I joined the ADF in the first place.
  　　“At that time, any Army would have done. I called few, but the legion was the first to make me a definite offer.”
 　　He freely admits he knew very little about the French Foreign Legion before he set off for France, enlisting in Bordeaux.
 　　 “There was just me and a recruiting corporal. He kept asking me how much we got paid in the Australian Army – he seemed preoccupies with our pay and conditions.”
 　　Shane says things were pretty relaxed ad Bordeaux while waiting to go on to the next stage of selection at the Legions HQ at Aubagne where he would join more potential recruits from another 15 recruiting centers around France.
 　　When he arrived at Aubagne one of the first English speaker he met was a Canadian, smoking pot in a crowded courtyard.
 　　 “I don’t think he had much of an idea. As we walked past a heaving beam he gave it his best fly kick – he didn’t last long and he didn’t get in,” Shane laughs.
 　　 “We were all wearing Kapooka-style blue track-suits and when not clearing up we just sat around waiting to be processed or rejected.
  　　“If you’re not doing selection stuff you’re cleaning shit that’s been cleaned a million times already and if you cleaned the floor any more you’d slip on it – but you do it anyway.”
 　　W\Every day the number of recruits got smaller, bur the routine was a familiar hurry-up-and-wait.
 　　At this early stage, Shane started to notice how the different nationalities stuck together. The biggest group appeared to be from the former Soviet Union and the majority of them appeared to be there for a standing-of-living improvement. They were christened the Russian mafia.
 　　 “The Asians were pretty quite. They kept together in a small group away from everyone else and, being small guys, it was easy to see they were intimidated.

（续上）“It seemed most recruits joined for a new life. They didn’t want to volunteer for the paras or snipers. Not did they want to carry a heavy pack. They didn’t want to work for it – they just wanted the money and a French passport to a new life.”
 　　Food at Aubagne was pretty simple – “lots of bread, but not that bad.”
 　　After passing three weeks of selection at Aubagne, Shane his fellow recruits arrived at Castlenaudary to begin basic training. But, as training progressed, Shane started to notice little things, and to silently question the professionalism of the organization he was to serve in for the next five years.
 　　 “They didn’t teach us anything like marksmanship principles and I had serious doubts about the standard of marksmanship the Legion was producing.
 　　 “Other training was very basic as well. For example, first aid was non-specific, unlike kapooka where one of the first things you learn is CPR and trauma. But in the Legion, training was rudimentary to say the least.”
 　　It was his non-specific approach to a fundamental life-saving military skill that was to spell tragedy and ultimately mean the end of Shane’s career in the legion.
 　　Teaching methods consisted of, demonstrate, imitate and a whack to confirm.
 　　 “A whack from the staff meant you soon picked up the language, watching and listening to what was happening around you.
 　　There was no free time. There were no washing machines. Everything was done by hand, in sinks-without making a mess.
 　　If Shane questioned the professionalism of the Legion’s teaching methods, he was however impressed by its French-only officers. 　　 “One night out in the countryside, we got dragged out of sleeping bags after a 60km march because the picket had fallen asleep.
  　　“They had us leopard-crawling through snow and stinging nettles, in our undies, doing push ups in a freezing river- the whole deal.
  　　“And, the offers were there with us-putting in. They didn’t have to. But they led us by example-unlike some I had worked with back home.”
  　　After a month at Castlenaudary the prestigious be came Legionnaire and received the prestigious Kepi Blance –the symbol of the French Foreign Legion. But Shane says he had other things on his mind that night.
  　　“The color of my hat didn’t bother me, I just wanted to do a job, It means little to me by then-my feet were fuckin’sore from marching 60km to the ceremony, But a lot of the young guys were excited about it.”
 　　 As training progressed, Shane formed a friendship with the two other’ Anglos’ –Dooley, a former South African police offer, and Morgan, a former Royal Air Force air-crewman.
 　　Shane says Morgan had been awarded the Distinguished flying Cross for his action in the first Gulf War, but had problems adjusting to life after the war and was looking for a new challenge.
 　　The three native-English speaker began to stick together more than ever, as the mafias became more prominent.
 　　 “It was a survival thing. We were on our own. We didn’t have a ‘mafias’.
 　　 “If there was a duty to be done, do you think the Russian corporal was going to give it to the Russians? No. And so tie went on. There weren’t any ‘Angle’ corporals, so we copped all the shit.
 　　 “My polish section commander, Cpl’bad-nutz’ hated the ‘English. Every time he saw me he wanted to hit me.
  　　“He was a full-on Nazi. He was a hard man who, I think, was trying to harden us up, and I came to respect him for that. He was a very good soldier-someone I wound want next to me when the shooting stared.
