By ''good standing'' do you mean that they are known, or just not in trouble. Becouse Im 14 and I've only been to 2 Fort Adobe games. And neither parent has played any airsoft of anykind.
It means they must have showed up to enough games for folks to recognize them and not be dishonorable players.
In your case, unless you have a brother or sister that is 18+ and wants to come play that day as well, your out of luck until your 16.
I wont get into the argument over minors, the rules are cut and dried above, trust me, this wont be the last big game we do.
so even if i have my Surplus Kevlar helmet with d. marpat cover and ESS ballistic goggles, its still not acceptable
Sorry man, it is not. It has to be full face protection, you can ditch your helmet and goggles for a PB mask or you can look at getting one of these:

Also, it bears mentioning here, all players will be ID'd so bring your ID to the event. If your under 18 you must be able to produce your full face mask or you will be asked to leave. Trust me, this would not be the first time we asked folks to leave one of our events for trying to circumvent that rule.
