As an addendum, then: I found my way into airsoft legitimately almost a year ago. I was at a Gamestop for the midnight release of Battleduty 2: Call of the Field (or some such clone of a shooter game,) with my Dad's best friend. Four guys showed up in full gear decked out with airsoft rifles and accessories and started handing out prizes from the Gamestop. It turned out the leader of this team was a really tall, nerdy guy with red hair that I'd met at the Gamestop before. That guy was Tombstone, and he'd brought a couple Mithril guys with him.
While I tried to avoid groping their rifles too much, I asked a couple questions about airsoft and what they did. I've grown up wanting to play with BB guns and dress up like an army man (being honest about how we all are on the inside, guys), and I decided that airsoft looked like the best game ever. It took me a couple months to save the $200 I ended up spending on my first rifle while I lurked on AP. I bought it second hand from a guy who claimed to be getting out of the sport. He also claimed it was a King Arms Daniel Defense airsoft rifle. I had ZIP clue what I was talking about, so I took him at his word. Later I learned that KA only makes GBB airsoft rifles, and that what I had was made by Socom Gear. Beginners luck!
I went to my first skirmish in Scappoose just a couple weeks later, bringing two friends with me. I've gone at every opportunity I've had since, and only failed to bring someone new once or twice. I've only played every four or five big games since I started playing, but every time I come home with welts and stories and an emotional high that lasts days. This is my sport, my game. I'm in it for the long haul. I love the gear, I love the guns, I love the people, even when they're asshats. I love teaching people about my sport, and how much fun they'll have with it. This community and all it's quirks makes me laugh and smile more than most things I do, and that makes it worth all the money and time in the world.
I just seem to have a short supply of both.

Thanks again, Snake Eyes. Below you'll find my original application, as that I worried editing the old post might leave my adjustments missed.

Thanks, Snake Eyes. This is great.
My waist is 29-30 in, depending on the month, inseam is 32 in. Currently, my loadout includes a black UTG PC and a cheap chest rig. I wear some ooooold Northface boots. The short version? I'm an outward looking guy who loves multicam.
I'm a starving college student who's on his way to do a year of (nonmilitary) service, where I'll be basically volunteering a year of my time to my Faith. I say this because I want to drive home that I don't have a lot of cash handy. I'd really like to get into multicam, and have been searching around. I got ahold of a used Emerson JPC a while ago, but ended up giving it to a friend who has even less than me. I've ruffled feathers here and there on the forums, but I'm a generally nice guy who likes to help people out. Airsoft is the sport for me, I'm not going anywhere, and I could use the help.
Lastly, I'd be happy to have a photo taken of me in my uniform. I will definitely not be reselling it; if I decide to get rid of the uniform at any point I'll give it away to someone else who needs it. I'd be quite happy with whatever set I receive.
Thanks again, Snake Eyes. This is really, really cool.
