Hello every one. There is a great chance that i will be moving back to the pacific northwest again very soon, namely the Beaverton area so i thought i'd drop by and make my introduction and familiarize my self with your guy's code of conduct and what not.
Now for a bit about my self. My name is Jeremy. My nickname or call sign is chip, i earned that name in phoenix... im sure you guys can imagine why (thank god for insurance!). I am 22 years old. I am a motorcycle mechanic by trade. I am currently living in coeur d alene, idaho and play with the spokane airsoft club. I'm considering moving back to the portland area because i grew up there and hope of finding work in my field.
As for airsoft, i've been playing for about 4 and a half years almost every weekend. I currently employ a TM M4 RIS modified by me, i also have an A&K SR25 project gun im starting to build. I was most active while i was attending school in phoenix arizona. While i was in phoenix i attended countless mil sim events playing every roll from a simple riflemen to commanding officer of an entire force upwards of 40 guys. I've hosted approximatively 40 pickup games successfully and a large scale mil sim event named "Operation Oasis" at an AO named Four Peaks in arizona. Operation Oasis is still being hosted as a continuing story by a team named Steelworks in phoenix.
I've also attended some military inspired training hosted by Mike Simpson of Marauders Tactical Training also based out of phoenix AZ. I've been instructed on 2 and 4 man room entry strategies, Vehicle ambush strategies including the use of 1, 3, and 4 vehicle motorcades. I've been instructed on how to recover VIPs from buildings both under fire and not. How to escort a VIP with a 4 and 5 man team through open terrain. How to react to contact with a VIP and how to react to an IED with a VIP. All of the training i've had the pleasure of attending had been instructed by military veterans and private sector operators.
I try to play mil sim events exclusively, unless of course there isn't one available at any given weekend then ill go to a pick up game. The reason i mainly play mil sim is because i find it to be more fun. i take airsoft seriously so that all the knowledge i gain on the field and from every one else i play with can be easily transitioned to real steel. Most of all i find it to be WAY more fun and thats why i play airsoft. I gave up paintball and will never look back.
Lastly, im a pain in the butt to get along with. Haha.
Pleasure to meet you all and with any luck ill be seeing you on the field very soon.
Jeremy aka Chip
