well, ive decided to see if i can get a team together. i live in Yuma, AZ, so play areas would have to be somewhat close to me. being on this team, you are encouraged to play as often as we try and play, but not required. play when you want to, and can make it. no worries there, as i work too. in addition, i will be deploying in january, so i would need a replacement until i return.
onto the rules:
GOLDEN RULE: expect to see very professional execution and style of play on this team. though those who join may not be Marines, you will be given the responsibility of one, and expected to act professionally. you will not embarrass your unit. in addition, you will be taught hand signals, and tactics before playing. this team would be USMC based, but individualism will be encouraged. YOU WILL BE REQUIRED TO BE "TRAINED" IN BASIC WARFIGHTING, INCLUDING RADIO USAGE, BEFORE JOINING. we all must function as a unit, as must therefore have similar training, including comms.
#1:
PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS. YOU MUST BE AT LEAST 17. NO EXCEPTIONS. you must also be able to push yourself to the limit, and keep up with the pack. since we will be operating as a unit, we are only as strong as our weakest man, only as fast as our slowest.#2: GEAR. you must have 1 tan and 1 green uniform. can be MARPAT or a flightsuit. but you must have 1 tan and 1 green. Real USMC MARPAT is OK to wear, and encouraged over replica, even if you are not a Marine, with only the nametape and no US MARINES tape.
authorized uniforms:Woodland MARPAT
Sage/OD FlightsuitDesert MARPAT
Tan Flightsuitbelt should be a TAN riggers belt or web belt, unless you have earned higher. we will blouse our trousers with boot bands at all times. no tuckng them into your boots trash.
gear should be in Coyote Brown or Woodland. ALL other camo patterns and colors of pouches are allowed, but your gear should have one of these colors as a base. basically, it needs to be passable as realistic Marine gear. if we are all wearing very good looking, accurate kits, and one guy is wearing all multicam... that wont fly.
some sort of armor carrier is required. you cannot wear just an LBV. the rig you wear must be of a realistic type seen today by US Marines in the dirt... a plate carrier, or soft/hard armor carrier.
SOME examples:
Interceptor OTV
Spartan
CIRAS
FSBE
MBSS
EPC
and many more... but generally similar to the above. if you arent sure, dont hesitate to pm me!
also, you should have some sort of helmet AND boonie, for different weather. i highly advise having 2 sets of goggles.
do not wear anything that you have not earned. this includes rank, unit patches, martial arts belts, branch tapes, etc.#3: WEAPONS. weapon must be of the USMC armory. SOME examples:
M4, M4A1, M16A2, M16A4, M249, M240G, M14 DMR, SR25, MK12, M40
i may consider another type of weapon for certain circumstances. realistic weapons for the current times are highly encouraged. NO HICAPS AT ALL. PERIOD. any other type of mag is allowed, but no winding mags, UNLESS you have a support weapon.#4: PATCH. team patch will be the gadsen flag, or US Navy jack. this must be worn on your rig somewhere.
it can be found on csmgear.com, as well as many sites. this is REQUIRED.
#5: ORGANIZATION. im not sure on how many plan on joining, but im thinking that 1 squad of 13 would be a good base. there will be 3 fireteams of 4, and then a squad leader. each fireteam will have some restrictions, such as 1 SAW gunner, 1 DM, etc.
basic look im trying to get:
