Well it looks like you made the decision to not go with a marksmanship role...
http://www.airsoftallies.com/general-sniper-discussion-f37/setbacks-of-sniping-t2537.htmI commend you for that.
So many people get into "sniping" prematurely because:
A) It sounds cool.
B) They think they can "snipe" well based on video games.
C) They're on a budget and think it's cheaper.
It's best to start off in a "high energy" role, such as a rifleman/DM/pointman position.
That way you learn the basics of the game, get experience, learn proper fieldcraft and are able to interact with other players.
Many players start out immediately as a "sniper" and become bored with it...then leave airsoft altogether.
