PPRuNe Forums - French foreign legion, medical problem

Hi there, I was wondering if any one could help me with a issue that I have?

I'm from South Africa and flew to France to join FFL, I do have 2 screws in my knee from a rugby accident that I had a few years ago. I had my medical report about my knee with me when I arrived there but was told that it needed to be in French, needed to be original (not a simple translation done by some-one) and that it needed to be a more recent report (mine was the report from a few years back).

My question is, do any of you guys think that it was a way for them to turn me down or would they FOR SURE except me if I complete their request? I have to fly back to France seeing that I had to come back to South Africa for the report and had no place to stay there.

Kind regards
