May be moving to Lansing area. Looking for milsim team.

[frye]

Hey guys, 

Frye here. I may be moving to the Lansing area in the near future and will be seeking a solid group of milsimers to roll with. I am a seasoned player with solid equipment and skill-set.

What I've Done:
Alumni of 2 John Lu events (RSEI and RSEII)
Veteran of OPP6 (as a rifleman) and Blacksheep@OPP1 (as a SL)
Attended dozens of large regional games and countless (seriously, I lost count at 100) skirmishes/open play/small ops.
Acted as a CO, Plt. Sgt., SL and FTL at dozens of local games.
Former member of 2 nationally recognized teams.
Trained with GMR at ComX (not a fan of how the team looks now... if they are around anymore anyways... memegenerator.net/instance/37202508)
Staff, North Eastern Airsoft Group
Former staff at Citadel Airsoft and Proshop
Staff, OP Lonely Island 2013

Core Competencies:
Communications (Served as RTO for several nationals)
Leadership (Served as a CO, Plt. Sgt., SL, and FTL at dozens of ops throughout New England)
Training (Conducted training for groups and individual players on weapons manipulation, fireteam movement and bounding, gear placement and access, CQB tactics, dynamic vs. soft entry, etc)
Marketing (Served as a marketing and events officer for several teams)

What I am Not: 
A gearwhore (While I have extensive knowledge of gear and guns, I am really not a collector)
An asshole (I'm a people person. I love making friends and having fun)
A backyard softer (unless its private property, I shy away from the #stateforestyayletsgoplayairthoftohshitcopsrun crowds)
A chairsofter (I've been in or facilitated in hundreds of games. I've been employed in the industry. I know what's up)
A tech (I've shied away from working on my own guns. Hope up/externals is easy, but I've never mastered gearbox work)  

What I Want To Do:
Travel for a national at least once or twice a year (not more than 2, since I will be working full time).
Train on a regular basis. Say once a month.
Attend a few local ops here and there, depending on the quality of the venue.

Equipment I Own:
Several M4 variants
EF 1911, non-tac
Gen 1 Nods (yes, they are crappy)
Want a TW when money allows for one.

I want to find a good group of players that fit me. If I can't find such a group I may start one. If your group needs structure or more working knowledge, let me know. I love passing on resources to new players and teams.

Message me here or ask for my email. Connecting via facebook is cool too.

Thanks, 
Frye

I'd be more than willing to jump into the Michigan based mil sims with you, but national ones I can't afford.

I own about 60 acres of land just south of Lansing (Holt) that we can play on during non-hunting seasons.

I've mainly been to rec. games due to travel issues and the like, but Milsims are next on my list.

I have nowhere near as extensive of a background as you, but I'm always looking to improve.

(By the way, Lansing doesn't have a lot of Hardcore Airsofters. The pockets are mainly in the Detroit and Kzoo area.)

I fail to see what this has to do what He's looking for puma... This thread is for Him to scout out teams. Not for you to digress.

There are no true teams that match the criteria you are looking for. The closest team I can suggest is ODA 561. Their Alpha unit may not be for you but in general they tend to participate in national events as well as the local OP's and REC's.

oda561.proboards.com Keep an eye out for Thor, Knife, CQBR, Rydeezy and a few other guys (Sorry, I can't remember your Callsigns.)

If you're interested man, talk to Kir (3.14). He started the group 3.14 operators, and hearing what you want from a team, it'd definitely be a group to check out. We train 1-2 times a month, and go to a lot of MilSims in 2014,as well as host our own.

This is what I was referring to.

There is no milsim teams in the immediate area, so I'm simply saying I'd join one if the latter happens. I wasn't attempting to digress, just provide some information and a possible link to an interested player.

Puma - Any group I start, assuming there is no fit for me elsewhere, would be national capable players only. Thanks for the offer, though. If I ever become an event runner in the area we can talk about your land as a venue.

Deacon - It's all good dude. I want to get to know any and all players in the area. While the intention of the thread is to look for teams and players, I did mention the possibility of starting a team, if needed. Puma is fine.

I've heard of the ODA 561 guys. I've played along side them at OPP a few times. I don't recall meeting any of them, though. Thanks for the tip. I'll message them.

Matic (3.14) - Where are you based out of?

[snafu]

I was also going to say I thought ODA561 was recruiting. They are really good dudes and are very legit.

[Matic]

We're based out of Bellevue, Michigan. Contact Kir (3.14) if you're interested.
