Maybe he should just stay in the military. Hard pressed to have those qualifications meet unless they are still serving. I agree with chip it's just Airsoft. Real world tactics don't work that we'll with toy guns.

Guys, it's clear that he wants to play with his fellow veterans. There's nothing wrong with that. The standards may be a bit ridiculous for a game with toy guns, but that's his thing. It's his team and he can run it like the boot camp from Full Metal Jacket if he wants to.

Funny thing about airsoft is that no matter how much you train or prepare for something, you're probably gonna get bested at some point by somebody else. Hell, it could be an ordinary guy who's never been in the military. It could be a freight broker, a chef, or a graphic designer. Basically, it's a game and the skills and techniques are in someways similar to those used in the military, but in many ways different. Basically, it's a game, not combat.

Anyways, sorry for the long message on your thread, seth. Best of luck to you on developing your team and hope to meet you on the field sometime.

there is a comradery/mentality that you develop being military, being in combat. his team is simply looking for people that have that same mindset.
when you have a team built of people that you get along with that share the same experiences, same way of thinking, your team will be more cohesive.
never underestimate the things you dont know.

I have to agree with the rest of the members on the forum, this is still a game played with toy guns any way you look at it, however we can also respect the fact that he wants a strong team cohesion and wants the comradery, or brotherhood I myself have had when I served.

Although I commend this guy on the requirements for his team, I am coming up with a big fat blank on anyone in Arizona that meets his requirements. Those that know me, know how hard it is to play against me and I was just an Intelligence analyst for over 20 years. Good lord if I had a résumé like that, I could be a god. Beware of this "Army of one" out there on the field. He probably not carry an airsoft gun, just a rubber Rambo knife. 8)

There are definite benefits to assemble a team with a heavy slant towards real combat experience.  While many of the technical dynamics of real combat are vastly different in airsoft, having tactically experienced players grants you many benefits:
1. The players KNOW the value of communication. That's a hard one for johnnie civilian to grasp, it seems.
2. The are probably competent at shooting and moving within a unit.
3. They probably are proficient in small team movement, and battle drills (react to contact, ambush, assault, raid).
4. They have a set of values that the Armed Forces enforce - Integrity being a good start for airsoft.
5. The war stories alone make their company much more interesting than corporate Joe.

Very few civilians seem to understand the concept of "Work hard - play harder".

I agree with Trent. Those are very selective criteria, but I applauded having high standards. If I was closer to OP's TOC, I'd join. Charlie Mike.
