In any case, there are three sticky posts at the top of this forum, plus the information at ahevents.org which will help you understand what's happening here so you can rephrase your question.

In short, squads in FSO are not the same squads in the MA, you can belong to many squads. I'd advise you to do as forHIM posted and request a slot with an existing registered squad for a tour. You can encourage your MA squadmates to do the same and experience the event. There's a lot to learn but once you try it you'll be hooked.

Welcome to FSO.

You may enroll your entire squad but you will not be able to participate as a whole squad until the March FSO.

Yes, absolutely when you are ready, but I'd strongly advise that you don't do that until you've flown at least a tour with an existing squad so you know what's expected. Have each of your squadmates, particularly your second in command, request slots to better judge you squads' interest. It was over a year between the time I started participating in special events, to the first time I saw a squadmate in there.
