Breathmints is on a distinguished road
So I have found several companies that SEEM legitimate. The next step for me is deciding which one. Now I know that everyone is going to have a biased opinion on an issue such as this... I'm looking for something where I'll actually have a lot of time to learn, HANDS-ON. I am quite a tactile learner and repetition helps me the most. After doing something about 5 times, I'll be able to do it with absolutely no problem.

My question is, what are some decent entry-level companies that would accept one such as me? I have seen companies that say their age requirement is 18, others are 21. Can someone explain this to me?

Also, is it recommended to have your own gun if you go to a training facility or is it best to rent one so you don't have to hassle through customs? I DO own a Glock 21C, but I'm not sure what the recommended / tried and true firearm of choice is.

I'm not positive on how to officially qualify with a weapons system, but would someone be able to point me in the right direction?

Thank you in advance for reading my ramblings .

I presume this is a wind-up posted by one of the lads pretending to be a newbie?, if so, then great, like it LOL.

If not, then let me help you along slightly...

1.) You posted: You need to repeat something 5 times in order to learn it.

Are you r******d?

2.) You posted: You have your own weapon, but do you have to have your own gun to go to a training facility?

Listen very carefully. I would not let you bring yourself to a training facility, never mind a weapon.

3.) Some companies state minimum age 18, others 21. Can someone explain.

Dead 21 yr olds don't look good on the books, besides, its too much paperwork. Life experience is a must.

4.) You are American. Don't need to comment on that really.


So, let me summarize,

You are an American R******d High School Kid with a gun, and want to join a Psd team. I'm sure it doesn't take a genius to figure out your profile. Are you the quiet reclussive type who finds it hard to make friends at school? Do you want to be famous? You know....like on TV?

Don't be too worried Mr New Guy, I am a 'tactile learner' as well, it normally takes me around 5 times to get some thing right, oh, except w*nking, I managed that first time.Not that I am suggesting that you is one! As for tried and true firearm of choice, stick to the water pistol, hand gun version not the more advanced 'super soaker'. Which you may have trouble getting through customs!. I look forward to hearing from you again maybe from Cloud Cuckoo land?? or a facility, not a training facility, just a secure one.

Legioner will become famous soon enough
Send a message via MSN to Legioner
Come on guys don't be so rude with him.
Why destroying dreams before they even started,lets have a serious chat with him.
We will never meet him on theater so the chatroom is the only location to talk to him.
Maybe he's a good guy!!
