Hey Darkcaves!
Welcome!
No need to worry, we are very laid back when it comes to people joining in and having a go.
In terms of vetting, we only really ask people to look over a couple of things before they show up for their first session:
- An intro to our group and sessions:
http://www.folkarps.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=43&t=1000
- An intro to teamspeak which we use for comms:
http://www.folkarps.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=43&t=998
Apart from that just try to be in the teamspeak channel and on the server before 7:20pm, and listen out for instructions from the host. Usually its best to hop into some of the less hectic roles (rifleman or autorifleman) for your first few missions, but leaders are always appreciated so feel free to grab a slot once you get a feel for our types of missions and playstyle.
We also have some optional mods enabled on the server:

These are completely optional, but quite a few people like to use some of the more helpful ones like sthud and push-to-hear.
If you would like to make mod managing a bit easier, we have a program called swifty that we recommend, it will download all of our mods and keep up to date with our server.
