Hey guys,
I've been reading for a while, but I had a couple questions, so I decided to register and introduce myself. I belong to quite a few forums, mostly car stuff.
I've been playing airsoft for a few months with my brother. No military experience. We play in and around Orlando, FL. We both shoot L96's, but not for much longer. He is picking up a G&G Scar, and I'm hoping for a CA M24 (thus some of the questions). We both wear Multicam, and that it works pretty well for where we play.
Other hobbies include working out/lifting, cars (rare and modified Mustangs in specific), water skiing, and scuba diving (I work part time for a dive shop). I'm an Industrial Engineering senior at the University of Central Florida.
Call sign is "Fox." The 91foxbody refers to a specific generation of Mustangs that I drive ('79-93).
If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Thanks for all the info so far, and I'm looking forward to learning a lot more.

I'm not really going for any particular style. Most of the guys I play with are after some sort of military unit look....I just like what's simple, and what works.
At our local field...

On the left here.
We're enjoying learning as we go. Playing in Florida is great, except that it just got down into the 70's this week. Our last semi-large OP was at a massive several-hundred acre field in Ocala called Wayne's World, and it was in the 90's all day (i.e. hotter than all of hell). I can't wait for it to cool down!

Looks good man, I like the weapons you two are looking at. Start incorporating that natural veg into your uniforms!
I realize it's hot there, so if you want to keep it light, just sew on a bunch of attachment points (lots works for this—double sided velcro, elastic, etc.) onto the back of your BDU tops and bottoms. The Webtex vest or a ghillie with relatively little scrim would work as well. Ghillie's don't have to be hot and heavy as hell, you can go for like 80% natural veg instead 
Welcome to the boards
Besides that, it's just fieldcraft. Gear is something you can work on anytime, though, and you'll get better at making it work for you and making the most of your camouflage over time.

Thanks for the welcome and tips guys!
On the camo....we bought it originally because we were trying to get into the sport with the least amount of money possible. Even before playing, we collectively have halfway decent memory knowledge, and didn't believe in store-bought ghillies. The Multicam fit our budget, works well for where we play, and is relatively cool.
We are working on ghillies. Doing research, finding out what we like, etc. The Multicam BDU's have worked great, especially when we play VIP games (a couple snipers vs. 20+ players protecting a VIP...not trying to lecture, just want to make sure everyone knows what I'm talking about) and I've pulled brush cover over me and eliminated half the team and ended the game before they knew where I was. We will purchase Woodland BDU's and do custom ghillies after the holiday season rolls around and we have a little more cash.
We also play a lot of city-based games. The large "Wayne's World" complex is several hundred acres with quite a bit of city space, so the ghillie was somewhat inappropriate. Last stands in the bell towers are always fun though! I can't wait for it to cool down some, it's still 81 degrees here in Orlando today.

This is why winter is my favorite season. When everyone else is freezing their asses off, and their guns are constantly breaking...
I'm ghillied up, toasty as hell, and my rifle is performing just as well as it was 4 months and 80 degrees beforehand.
It really does become a distinct advantage.
(sorry for the off-topic)
