I've been in this game for about 3/4 a year now and have learned a great deal, both from in the game and these forums. The time has come now where I would like to move into a corp that actually functions. By actually function, I'm talking one that has members which actually DO things in a squad with tactical planning and teamwork. Not one where you just get in a squad and then go into a map while everyone goes off and does their own thing (and often looses). I'm tired of that. I can't tell you how many matches and squads I've been in where everyone spawns in, then someone drives away in a tank, while another guy gets into a dropship and leaves while everybody else starts running toward the objectives together and then all disappear to different corners of the map after the hack is done. There's been very few that I've been with that actually work together as a unit. After being in all different matches ranging from PC to FW to pubs, it's the squads that move as a group that always completely dominate in the matches.
I'll be the first to say that I don't regard myself as someone who is extremely outstanding in this game and I don't claim to be. However, I do know how to aim decent and can play reasonably well. Due to the nature of the squads I've been in, I am someone who has designed his suits around self-sufficiency. I run a Callogi fit who tries to be an actual logi but can still take out people and objectives. Whatever you need, I can bring it. Need a scan for tactics or an OB? Done. Want some cover from an elevated position in a building while you hack? I'll use my RR and cover you while doing a quick scan of the area so you know that no one is sneaking up on you on your minimap/radar . Need someone for armor reps? Done. Need hives for ammo and repairs in a hot area? Taken care of. Need to surround an important objective with uplinks to retake it? Can do that too. Need more of a combat medic guy just for revives and repairs to help save you suits? Can help there as well (and no I won't revive you just for the WP so you get killed again within a few seconds, I hate people that do that). I can also run AV if I absolutely must. I'll pull out a Gunlogi with a rail for you, or even a jihad jeep.
I use different weapons for different situations and can do reasonably well with all of them. Have AR, ScR, RR, CR, and LR. I used to run forge guns a very long time ago, so even though I don't have any skills in that with this character, I can still use them if you need it to get rid of LAVs and dropships (I'll also employ REs for AV or covering objectives if necessary).
I currently have around 9.5m SP and a KDR of 1.35 (I don't go negative in matches too often). I'm online during mornings and afternoons central time during the week, Tuesdays through Fridays. Due to the fact I'm studying computer engineering, that means I won't always be available for everything or online during those times, but I'll try to be.
I'm also 24 and have heard just about everything imaginable so you aren't going to have petty complaints nor excessive swearing coming from my mic in the squad. I take orders well and actually prefer a well planned approach to something rather than just a FFA/run and gun and hope we win type of mentality.

Originally I was focused on just getting up to the top, meaning somewhere in RA, but I've now figured it'd just be nicer to have a great squad to play with that consistently knows what they're doing.

If you're looking for an RA corp we might not fit your needs though, we are scrubs. :/
Well, I'd say I'm pretty active as I'm usually on at least 50% of the week, and I might move my system into my bedroom so I can get on during nights. I wouldn't even bother with an RA corp for now. I keep working at Dust constantly because I love that this game is challenging in its current form.
With my 1.35 KDR, they'd automatically think I'm not good enough, even though I'm a real logi and don't run tanks outside of AV functions.
I wouldn't exactly say you guys are scrubs haha. Every time I've fought you guys in pubs or FW, we've always lost by a wide margin.
Dust is actually the only game I play at this time outside of the few old school ones I have.

Well, I have work to do all weekend, so when I am on next week I'll send out a mail and run some matches with you guys in DETHDEALERS to see how you guys function.
Will also send out a mail to Zatara in FA. I sent one out to Palatinate several days ago that I wanted to squad up with you guys in FA for a few matches as he even told me to write to him, but he never answered. So instead I ran some matches with the Ahrendee Merc guys with RND.

The general people I usually squad up with I know what they can do an vice versa. We've come to learn who can do one objectie and who can do another. I think you'd fit in amongst us.
Well, organization and tactics is now the key I am looking for in this game. These are the corporations and squads I've found to be the most effective in all types of matches. Those that move as a group and know exactly what each member does. As many others have said in these forums and I've now learned, in this game there is no Ramboing or complete lone wolfing. Four guys hacking the same objective at the same time is completely useless when you all get taken out almost instantly to a heavy that comes around a corner with an HMG and a logi repper, or by two reds with a pair of core grenades. I'd rather have all the rest hack, while I kept a watch (or if not me then someone else). Four guys dying all at once to gain an extra second and a half of hack time does no good when trying to get an important objective to turn a battle around or to shut out enemies by a CRU.
Same for when we're moving in the group or get into a fight. Someone should be watching the flanks and rear so we don't get encircled or clipped from the sides. Also for cripes sake if you see something, actually USE the mic and say what and where it is lol. Me or someone in the squad dying to a rooftop sniper or forger while trying to cross a street you saw two minutes ago but never mentioned, does none of us any good.
These are what I'm looking for overall.

Alright, I"ll write to Zatara then.
