So here is what I am doing. I am forming GRASP combat group. Grasp stands for GRound Air and SPace. It is the SEAL teams of Test squadron (aka drunk SEALs) The goal is to promote FPS training and combat proficiency.
This is accomplished by weekly training events. I will am taking lead on North America training (all time zones welcome, just being set to work with NA) I will be holding the training every Saturday at 2pm EST (Starting the 7th of January) I plan on being on for 2-3 hours. come whenever, leave whenever.

what is GRASP's end goal? Well the idea is to get as many people to work together and understand tactics and FPS game play. On top of that I want to form more dedicated members into strike team to work together for the goal of bounty hunting/security NO PIRATES ;) inside the PU.

How does GRASP work? Well it is simple, we have weekly training events. you come, you learn. You want more? Ask to be put in a team, we will form a team of people that can train more on your time frame. and people you enjoy playing with.

If we are going to be in team what is the importance of group training? Well first you will not always be out in the verse with your team, so we want everyone to know the basics of how we work, and be able to work with any group, IE understanding tactics and being able to fight with a team without getting in their way.

What makes you qualified to run this? Most importantly I want this to happen, and I am taking infinitive. I also have 3 years if Infantry training in the US Army. as well as several thousand hours in FPS games.

Are you going to order me around? No, This is not a military. I will put events together, help with the training, set up standard operating procedure (SOP), and try to solve any issues I can. Teams will have more SOPs then persons, and most of them will be left to the team it's self. One key rule will be if you get assistance from a team (in PU) you follow their lead if you want their help.

So what will I learn if I come? Everything we can teach you about the FPS game it's self, tactics, callsigns, how to use the weapons of your choice, ETC.

What can I expect if I join a team? Well every team will be different, but the idea is to focus on ~4 men teams. And that is up to you and yours. I will give any advice I have when asked but will not go sticking my nose in. I will encourage team-on-team practice.

What will a open training day look like? Well to start I am planning on focusing on three key points, and will change as needed. The three parts are, Weapons training, Tactics, and end with full games.

Staff edit: Please use TEST's discord: discord.testsquadron.com
We have a backup Discord if we end up having issues inside the Test Discord. And if Teams wish to have a little more privacy when training.

More Questions? more then happy to answer.

Hmm, im kinda new to competitive FPS on PC, although coming from ps4 i do have experience with squad play coming from Battlefield 3/4/and 1. I was/is part of a clan/platoon where we have a strong emphasis on squad play and PTFO. Communication is very important and good leadership to direct the squad to win the match is also important. Being able to read the battle and plan routes your squad will take, calling out hostiles and so on. idk why i wanted to bring that to the table but i could use some practice and some training for PC FPS. Although idk if my experience will do any good with the kind of gameplay i've seen on Star Marine (havent been able to download and play 2.6 ATM, need to get internet bill sorted out), its all CQB with terminals to hack. kinda like COD..i hate COD. Im more an open battlefield type of player. But never the less i need to improve my FPS skills if im going to survive in the Verse.

I would say it is more like Rainbow 6, as it is close combat, but sooner or later we will have the epic size of the verse to fight over. with cqb in ship-to-ship combat, and large scale on the surface. As for your skills, you know how to communicate and tactics. those are good no matter what FPS you are playing.

This sounds cool. However, I am a noob at FPS and need any training that is made available.
Hey, better a N00b than what I am -- confirmed bait. I swear, I exist to jack up everybody else's stats (doesn't keep me from having a fun time, though!)

If you're going to run a TEST event, we ask that you use our discord server. Everybody is already up and running on that and we can add additional rooms if necessary.

:slight_smile:
We are using the test discord for training, I have set up the other one for two reasons, First for teams that want to meet with a little more privacy, and if we start getting overwhelmed with people that just want to "hang out" and not train. I have asked for training room, but was told no. So I set up a backup.

Hah, you can't beat me at FPS noob, I dare you!!! I even managed to got blown to pieces by my own grenades (the first still in my hand and the second one against the doorpost) :head_bandage:
Lesson learned, don't rely on the beep :stopwatch:
