When people around me talk about the awesome first corporation they joined back in closed beta and what not, they sometimes take the time to ask me which was my first corp.
When I answer my first corp was PRO and I was recruited by CBJ's mass mail as a fresh scrub in open beta, they inevitably laugh. A lot.

I don't remember you being there. When and how long?
Probably some time in February or march, for about 2 weeks.

I don't remember you being there. When and how long? Probably some time in February or march, for about 2 weeks. A lot of players that are widely known now started in casual new player friendly corps like Subdreddit and PRO. Zatara, Parkway, Disgrunteldev, The Spinner, Zdub 303, and DS10 all started in the corp, which I still call home despite numerous great offers to leave, Subdreddit. There is a lot to be said about this because your first corp plays a large factor in how you perceive the game. At the time we had a lot of activity from closed beta vets that helped the names I just listed learn about topics like SP, suits, etc. beyond the basic FPS stuff these guys already knew. The fact that they were such good players made it inevitable that they would move on, but they all know where they started. I think there is a lot to say about corps like this and their longevity compared to bright stars that burn out after a month or two. Burgezz is another great example, as is STB. They have been around forever and while more competitive as a whole than PRO, they are not to much different.
Can't say the same really, what I didn't learn the hard way I learned in the first "elite" corp I've ever joined which was A.I. I moved directly to that corp from PRO after squading with some guys from A.I. They treated me like a blueberry up until I turned on my mic and they took a look at my kdr. They immediately offered me a spot and I was more than happy to accept.
There were a few guys that I did squad with when I was in PRO that I still see around in Molon Labe. Arnold Sphinx, and x-eon or w/e his name was. I picked up a few tips from Arnold, but most of what he was telling me I already figured out on my own.
