Worth starting French before joining?

[DeadGods]

I have a good amount of free time until I'm in. Is it worth learning French on my own, or will I be taught once I've joined?

I would suggest that it’s always worth learning a language (French or otherwise).

They don’t send everyone to French training anymore.

Yes, start French as soon as you can. Being proficient in both offical languages will be beneficial to your career and personal life in the CAF.
