Join the outfit that suits you best!

Most of the outfits I know (not that many) don't take life that serious as you would perceive based on outfit videos. Those vids are often recorded during events, and these vids usually want to impress the audience with solid teamwork and/or good personal skills. The everyday life within an outfit is way more relaxed. Friendly banter on TS, makeing jokes with/of each other, some tactical stuff, and the peak of every session, the drunken buddy who arrives half stoned, messes up everything, has a funny klingon accent and tells you 10 times in a row (while brakeing in tears) how much he loves everyone while flying the galaxy into the nearest mountain - and everyone is crying loud in "fear" and spams voice macros... (Yes Hanni, I love you too!) But when the situation changes everything goes tactical, requests and aknowledges fill the channel, target directions and threat reports replace the leanback chatter. A whole platoon of 20-30 men fill your Teamspeak channel, but you know all of them by their voice and you know exactly which message is aimed at you. Participating in a half-casual/half-serious outfit is priceless!

So if you fear that you won't be able to catch up soon enough in an old outfit, you can forget that mate! There are outfits or outfit leaders who take themselves a bit too serious, but most of them plays for the fun. You cannot really make a mistake when you pick one.
