Welcome to my blog about my adventures as a member of the MilSim paintball team Boxer.
About Team Boxer
Team Boxer is a mil-sim, scenario paintball team based out of Concord, North Carolina. The team was formed in 2006 when four co-workers, their families, and family dogs decided to do something a little different for Thanksgiving! Celebrating the holiday together with great food, drink and a day of paintball. This was the founding groups first introduction to the game/sport that they would come to love.
The team name is derived from the fact the each member of the founding group coincidentally happened to own the same breed of dog, Boxers. As a breed Boxer’s are renowned for their characteristics of intelligence, loyalty, honesty, friendliness, courage and determination. All traits that are synonymous with Team Boxer.
Team Boxer’s roster currently counts almost 60 members who hail from across the North Carolina Piedmont region, which extends from the Charlotte metropolitan area to Greensboro-Winston Salem.
Team Objectives
Team Boxer seeks to participate in and produce paintball scenario games primarily in Carolinas region but will also travel to national level games across the country. We seek to promote the game/sport of paintball and the businesses of our sponsors by developing a reputation for tactical effectiveness on the field supported by the core values of integrity, fairness, diversity and the belief that if it isn’t fun people won’t play.
What is milsim?
Today paintball has grown into a world wide sporting activity of tremendouse popularity. As the sport has grown it has developed many off-shoots on the original theme, to include recreation and tournament play. Woodsball, speedball, big games, and scenarios. Each having its own rules, style, and flavor.Team Boxer started out as a woodsball recreational group and has now grow into a dedicated Military Simulation team.
Military Simulation (MilSim for short) focuses on a more true to life military style of playing paintball. If you look at our team organization and approach you will find that we simulate a real world military organization.
Now don't get it twisted, we are not the militias or survivalist waiting for the end of the world or looking for a fight with the F.B.I. We have just chosen for our group to take on a more military outward appearance. The fact that several team members have prior military experience accounts for this orientation.
MilSim is not unique to paintball, you need look no further that re-enactment groups (such as those that can be seen at Civil War sites) or airsoft.
The core motivation of our team is spending time with a group of people we like and enjoying an activity we all love. Yep, we are a kind of social club.
What I Like Most About Boxer
The one attribute of team Boxer that is most exciting to me is its diversity. In age, race, ethnicity, religion, and profession, Boxer truly represents the melting pot that has always been America. This mixing and matching of different ideas and perspectives has resulted in a very dynamic and sucessful organization.
So drop by sometime and catch up on what is going with our band of brothers.
