new up in Oregon

Hey all, i just moved up here to Astoria in January and im trying to get back into airsoft. I lived in cali for the last 8 years and thats where i got into airsoft. i played with the st james grenadiers for a little but work wouldnt let me stay committed. im out of the marines now and ready to do this. theres only one problem, i dont know where to go to. i found airsoft arena and once my truck is out of the shop i should be heading there. never got into the whole indoor/urban scene by who knows.

Welcome to AP! Have fun!!

Welcome, man! If you find the indoor arena lacking (some do, some don't), there's a free game in Scappoose on the 5th. That'll be ALL good ol' fashioned woods. Have fun, read the stickies, don't be a bigot, yada yada yada etc. ;]

right on. yeah im going threw all the places and events right now. my heart is out doors so i might have to see if i can go to that event. i meant to ask if and how i try to get on a team out here. im just getting ready to go to school in the fall so i have tons of time just not money.

just show up to a game with a gun and safety gear, joining/making a team isn't necessary to have fun
and welcome to AP

Welcome.

Being former military, you'll probably really hate airsofters. Try to ignore it for the first six months, until you're hooked and know a few decent people out here.

There are lots of games in the area. Come out and play and wait a bit before you try connecting with a team. Even if you like a team and run with them for a game, give it a few months. A lot of people in the area will S your D to get membership, then you'll realize they are janky.

Also, read the stickies and become acquainted with the rules up here.

There are free or cheap games pretty much every weekend.
