Welcome to GD. You may now put on you [T] tag. You will go through through the trainee thing just like everyone else did and you will hate it just like everyone else did =]
Also, get in mumble man. There is info here on the site on where do download and how to set up. It's all good if you don't have a mic, you can still listen to us and it really does help out with communication. Plus you'll never be bored in there
