afaik you will get paid extremely bad for the entire duration of your service. if you come from a rich country like the u.s i do not understand how it's going to be something you want to do for money, at least. as for your comrades its going to be a lot of nigs and nogs (some with seedy pasts) from 3rd world places where a terrible 1st world wage and french citizenship seems more appealing i don't think you're going to see many deployments either at this point. i don't know how much presence france has in their former colonies today
