Our squad doesn't descriminate based on age, rather one's ability to avoid being struck by a car. That's why the AKs think your imature.

Once you've matured, you may still be struck by cars... but it won't be because you couldn't get away... it will be because you seriously believed you could take it in a fair fight.

I know that age has been a concern when someone wants to join our squadron. The thing is it has had nothing to do with maturity or trouble.

The reason its been a question has been due to Guys post things like adult jokes and questionable langauge in our private forum. Also our yearly gatherings can be a bit more adult oriented.

Now I wouldnt say most guys at 16 cant deal with that stuff, but it could be an issue with some parents. As a Squad we just havent wanted to take that on.

A while back me and the CO talked about a CAF JR. squad for youths, but we just didnt see the need.

The Reason I bring it up is, refusal into a squad based on age, might have other reasons than being Mature.

As for Youths and Young adults, Its just a matter of treating them with respect, at the same time realising they are still growing. I have great raport with teens and enjoy them alot. Im over 40 now, but relate well with the younger adults. Funny thing, they all seem to enjoy me and treat me with that same respect.

A do see your Frustration of being labeled as imature. Dont let it get to you, and always treat others with respect, be forgiving and generous. Follow those guides and you always do fine.

If age < cMature then
immature
else
mature

We let one of these young yahoos into the assassins.
Now we get to listen to things like
"fatt kill dude"
and
"109s are old school gramps"

and they make fun of your handle too.
They might for instance call you
pongholeio instead of your real handle..

We shold just ban the wippersnappers from the game!

If a Squad doesn't accept you because of you'r age, you're better off in anotehr squad anyway, lots of great squads out there who are all willing to accept people, no matter 5 years old or 100 years old, no offence to those who are sub 5 or more then 100, but I doubt they'd make very good pilots

I've flown online sims (staarted out H2H for 2 years) since I was 13, have heard quite a few funny comments since

Texace,

Skuzzy summed it up pretty well, I'll just add this:

Everyone should be judged upon their conduct rather than age. If you are knocked back by a squad because of your age before you get a chance to show your maturity to them, you don't want to hang with those guys anyway. Online your only personality is that presented by what you type (or say over RW) so age should not be an issue... your conduct however is.

Chin up and watch out for those cars bud!

P.S. Note my use of the word "hang". See I'm still hip, I'm still with it... [insert macarena music here]
