Experience:
Played my first game of paintball with my friend's church in Humble,TX when I was 13. Used rentals for about 5 yrs, first gun was a vertical feed autococker. First saw an autococker when was playing out in Houston. Some kid had one and was talking about his gun and was mentioning parts and said autococker. I thought autococker meant the trigger on the gun, turned out to be the whole gun. I didn't figure that one out till I was about 17.

Experience:
First started playing at the age of 12. The more I played the more I enjoyed it and soon it became a habit. During 2001 I started to become more serious about paintball. I bought my own marker (Spyder Shutter) and started to play almost every weekend. This past year (2003 - 2004) I joined the Tournament team through the paintball ECA at the Naval Academy.

Experience:
I started playing paintball my junior year of high school. I owned a Tippmann 98 Custom and mainly played rec-ball in the mountains. I played in one tournament back home and then came here. I didn't have much experience in coming. Once here, I bought another Tippmann 98 Custom and then I got the bug. After playing every Saturday for 6 or 7 weeks, and hearing about tournament teams, I bought my Angel. Since then I've started playing on the Gold team and am thouroughly enjoying myself. Basically, all paintball abilities as far as tournaments go have been created here, so hell yeah Navy Paintball.

Experience:
I started playing paintball at age 12. Played recreationally for three or four years and then stepped up to tournament level. I helped start/run Chaos Paintball field and store in Stillwater, OK. We built about 4 or 5 fields and had a store. I worked for Chaos for about 2 years and did refereeing, gun repairs, and field upkeep. After all that, I came to USNA and joined the Tournament Team through the ECA.

Experience:
I started playing rec ball when I was 13 and played mostly woods games until high school. I played a few scenario games freshman and sophomore year and got into speedball when I was a junior. I've been trying to play tournaments for a few years, but Navy Paintball provided me with my first opportunity to play competitively.
