Questions about VHS - Requirements for Minors

A message came through VHS-PR recently:

VHS-Contact-us - Some questions concerning joining VHS - Reply here: Redirecting to Google Groups
I spent quite a bit of time looking around the website for the specifics and got quite confused. I also tried the IRC, to no avail. My list of questions are as follows:

  1. I am under 18. Can I join? Do my parents accompany me every time or just sign the waiver once?
  1. I need to be a member to enter the area besides on Tuesdays? (Very new to pen-testing trying to get what would be a good time frame to join as one).
  1. Any advice before joining as a member?

Thank you so much for your time. Look forward to joining(As long as I don’t have to being babysit by my parents every time I come in…) and meeting some of you guys.

-Best Regards,

The author has a good point; I was unable to find the age restriction on our wiki or documentation. Is it printed on our waiver?

Can someone clarify this and reply to the author?

Cheers,

Every time. People under 18 require a guardian,
In reality we will never check.

Depends.
Any night that a key holder is willing to open the space and is willing to be responsible for non members is a day that you can come down. Most of the time this is only Tuesdays only. But it could include workshop nights, open houses, or many Thursday nights.

Join the forums and start a few threads about some of your past projects and future projects that you want to do. You might fine a few people that are interested in the same things you are and will meet up with you on your first visit.
