New Here!Hello everyone! I was on mcarterbrown.com today when I saw a thread for a new paintball player who lives in Ohio, when a member named Zoo posted that he has a central Ohio base paintball team, this was like music to my ears, I have wanted to be apart of a team since I was 16 and used to play with my father. I was avid into paintball for two years when my father lost interest in playing, so did I as I had no friends to play with and no means of transportation. So he sold our gear and here I am now at 18 ready to play again. I have gone to SplatterPark in Mt. Gilead and used rentals for a couple matches and I'll tell you my love for the sport is still burning and a team like Delta Squad would be perfect! People to play with, advice from professionals, a great environment to play in. I would say that I am still a novice at paintball but I am learning and studying more every day, but I am a very tactical and team based individual, I enjoy war scenarios and played them many times with airsoft guns with some of my buddies. So before I bore you all with my life story I will fill out the introduction sheet;
Name (plus any nicknames you go by): Tyler, friends called me snake since I would always crawl and sneak up on them, and my love for MGS.
Primary Setup (should include any markers, gear, etc...): Buying a Tippmann A5.
Age: 18
Amount of time Paintballing: Two years off and on. (10+ short matches..)
Location (City and State): Marion, Ohio. 35 minutes away from Columbus.
Goals/Interests with Paintball (include what you look forward to learn or do): Learning to play better, gaining skill not only in paintball but in tactical team work and competition, making friends, and having fun!
Thanks for reading!

Thanks! I'm really surprised how fast I got a reply.  Is there anything else that I need to do to be considered for recruitment?

Show up for some games, and don't be a jerk- that's pretty much it. Dressing the part by wearing MarPat gear doesn't hurt, but we're mainly just looking for friendly people who will play as a team and with good sportsmanship. We're working on a more formal list of Thou Shalt Not...s, but that'a the main theme.

Sounds great to me, but how do I know who to talk to when I show up to a event? Do I call someone? I'm just a little on edge about driving somewhere without knowing all the information possible.

Post in the thread for whatever event to let us know you're coming, if you're looking for a ride, etc. If you meet us there, we usually have some banners up, and most of us have Delta Squad patches on our vests. Introduce yourself and run with us on the field- we're always happy to have more.

Alright I see, does that mean that I'm in?

Well, that means you can hang out with us at the field. Membership requires a vote, usually after you've played with us a few times and attended at least one major event.
