I want to join the French Foreign Legion, and I have a couple of questions?

Question

OK, I am only just starting to look into the FFL as a career. I know it is very hard, but how does basic training (in terms of physical and mental fitness) compare to, say, Royal Marines basic? Is it more or less arduous or about the same?

Also, my vision is not perfect, but it is good enough to get me into any of the British forces. I do have glasses but do not wear them day-to-day; is the FFL eyesight policy likely to be stricter?

Thanks for all serious and knowledgeable answers, no time-wasters please.
