If at a larger game/op either show up equiped or have arranged BEFORE HAND to borrow some gear (to see if the sport really is for them, this is much better is just attending small skirmishes). And equiped does not mean BDUs, paint ball mask and the Tomb Raider spring pistol. Equipped is a skirmishable weapon, supporting kit (LBE, mags, water), BDUs, and boots. Boots with ankle support are a must. For saftey.
Be ready to work as a team. Not just wanting to charge off lone wolf and try to pwnx0r every one.
Good sportsmanship is always a plus. (IE, take your hits, don't call other peoples hits, don't gloat if you do good, or get pissy if you do poorly)
Understand that this game usually isn't solid trigger time. It's a lot of manuvering, finding the enemy, THEN the firefight.
Understand the importance of being a rifleman. You are not a 1337 snipx0r, and you won't be for a very long time, if ever.
And mostly, don't be an asshat.
It really is best to show for some skirmishes with people who are accepting of younger players first. (like Hotcurry, he is an awsome guy), and use your time there to decide if milsim airsofting really is for you, or if speed balling is more what you're looking for. I personally suggest this before you make your buy in, if you can have someone who let you use a kit at a skirmish.
