Desert Rat Airsoft Team Now Accepting Applications

[Junto]

The Desert Rat Airsoft Team (DRAT) is now accepting applications for membership. We are looking to expand our numbers, creating a greater presence on the field and in competitions. We are looking for light-hearted, devoted, competition-ready players who mesh well with other members of the team. We would prefer people in the Beaverton, Monmouth, and Corvallis areas, but anywhere in Oregon is just fine. People under 21 need not apply.

Positions Open:
-Riflemen
-Support Gunners

Team Theme and Purpose

A group of off-kilter mercenaries who will try just about anything if there's money involved, with a strong lean toward lots of trigger time, lots of explosions, and lots of death. The company gets paid insurance benefits if an employee dies in action. The money is used for grief counseling for the surviving mercenaries, and video games. If there are hostages involved a $5000 insurance payment must be provided by the customer in case of loss of the hostage's life. The insurance payment will go to grief counseling for the mercenaries involved, and pizza.

These mercenaries have been known to fill a variety of roles, including law enforcement, UN peacekeeping, military actions, gang warfare, and slaying supernatural creatures. All roles have been met with moderate success and hopes are high for better gear, guns, and training, as they learn what they can, from anyone that will teach.


The Serious Bit

Desert Rat Airsoft Team members are required to be committed entirely to the team, and may not be registered on the rosters of other AP teams, barring period re-enactment teams, multi-team organizations, and acting groups for special events. If a member says they are going to an event it must be a gesture in certainty, as dropping out last minute screws everyone else.
Members are required to purchase a set of Tiger Stripe BDUs and matching cover. They must also wear boots that support the ankle area of the foot, although combat boots are not required. They must have some form of upper-body rig for carrying magazines, water, ammo, and any other necessary items. This includes ALICE gear, battle belts, MOLLE gear, tactical vests, and load-bearing vests. Other equipment, such as knee and elbow pads, helmets, armor plates, and gear bags are optional.

Team Play Style

Although we have a designated team leader, in the field, the person that knows the situation best takes charge. This leads to a friendlier style of play and is based on trusting the other members of your team. We prefer to move on our own, apart from larger forces, which allows us to conduct ambushes, work with people we trust, and conduct flanking actions and other maneuvers without interruption.

I will vouch for DRAT. They are a group of great guys and girls who love having fun as much as they love airsoft. If you are looking for a team this one to consider.
