They have a website with their rules and guidelines that they encourage pilots interested in joining to read before applying. I'm sure a google search or something would easily find it.
You can also look up the corps in game (Red Federation and Blue Republic) and apply that way.

just app up to one side or the other. sometimes they will direct you to the other corp so that they maintain even numbers. they are not too formal about these things but they do have some rules so pay attention to those. |

You just apply. I'll warn you though, RvB's pvp is about as basic as you can get. It's very different than low sec or null sec... for better or for worse is for you to decide.
I hated it because 1. You can't shoot FCs, and 2. 90% of the fights are two FCs talking to each other in a convo so they both know where each other are. More often than not you both go to some gate, except the group with the snipers already set up first wins.
It's not bad at all to get your feet wet. But if anyone wants real pvp, they should definitely move on when they start to get bored. Nothing beats good old low sec. |

I enjoyed RvB when I was a member. Meet a lot of new people everyday.
To start with once you've picked your side it is best to move the assets you want there before you start. Both bases are a few jumps from Jita so a contracted Freighter Trip of packaged ships and mods will get you setup. RvB Markets are pretty well stocked but there is an insane markup anything from 20% to 100% and they don't always carry every ship. So if you want to fly something you will often find they don't have the ship, a mod or two or you are paying a markup. I only use the local market when I need a certain module on the fly. I set up a same account alt in Jita to purchase and contracted a freighter if I needed resupply but I was well supplied from the start.
A beginner and costly mistake I once made is to not take proper inventory when purchasing your fleet. How to get around it is to use EFT to build the fits you want and mark them as RvB and the number of them you want in the fit name. Then count up mods of each type and list them in notepad, there is your shopping list. That way you have a visual reference so you don't buy 24 Medium CDFE Rigs when you only bought ships for 18 or are ready to take out a Coercer and realized you never bought faction crystals and scorch. I know it sounds silly but when buying 50-80 ships it can become an issue.
Import the dozens of fits into EVE's fit database and you can auto assemble your fleet in minutes, just remember to put in Ammo. For short range I usually do 1 clip of faction -50%, 1 clip of alternate damage type faction for projectiles, 3 loads of dirt cheap T1 ammo -50% and one load of T2 LR Ammo. For long range guns I take a clip of faction for 2-3 ranges, T2 and T1 for different ranges. Missiles I faction for one type, a clip of T2 and all types in T1. All together ship ammo costs 1-2 mil per ship. I keep a small stock pile of different ammo's on hand for refills after fights.
Some cost saving tips. If you have the CPU then Meta 4 Dmg mods for guns are about have the cost of T2 and the only difference is +9.8% vs +10% Dmg which = about 1 DPS. Fitting some fleet ships that don't rely on Drone DPS with ECM Drones saves 500k per Warrior, 775k per Hammerhead. For 1v1 or very small gangs a T2 fit Frigate / Destroyers is a big difference but for mindless 20-30+ man Cruiser down swarms you can go meta, efficiency goes down by 10% but they cost about 30% a T2 fit.

So if you are playing all day and there are lots of big if you're primary you're dead swarm fights you can toss these babies at them all day and not make a dent in your wallet reserving your 10 mil T2 fit Frigates and 15mil T2 fit Destroyers for fights where 10% more DPS or tank means victory or defeat. I do fly better ships in Swarms but be mindful flying low tanked faction ships or T2 will get you atomized pretty quick. Destroyers tend to be primary because of their high DPS, low tank and workable sig rad so be aware, you're helping your fleet with that Dmg but you will die quick, it is why I prefer Cruisers over Destroyers, high Dmg more tank, but expensive.
Now personally I never liked those arranged you have to have equal numbers wait 30min till we get our ducks in a row don't shoot the FC fights. Their is always drama and complaints to those as well. I preferred breaking station camps and gate camps or camping for a fight kind of fights and hunter groups. The best fights are rolling fights where 100+ people are bashing it out for 15-20min in all sizes of ships even Battleships sometimes. So a great tip for enjoying a truly big fight is to stash those cheap type meta ships in the enemy HQ, 5 or 6 of em, more around the system in other stations and stations in the pipelines between the HQ's. No matter what system you are in if there is a long fight going on from your ship exploding to locking your next target you should never be more then two warps and a weapons timer away maximum.
Low Sec Roams are a lot of fun as well, one of the reasons I didn't load up on expensive implants. So is hunting and popping War Targets. I recommend both whenever you can. One implant I got a few of was the +3 PG implant, it is a life saver for fits. |

+1 for RvB as a place to dip your toes into PvP. It teaches you the basics of how fleets work, station games, safe spots etc. I never much liked the FFA in Nomaa since the vets there will easily kill you in practically any ship (also since the fits are oftentoo specific for frigate 1v1 rather than more generic fits).
But the time comes when you want to just go to low secure and shoot people :)

Import the dozens of fits into EVE's fit database and you can auto assemble your fleet in minutes, just remember to put in Ammo. I have almost flown into battle a couple of times without ammo because I didn't load up the entire fleet right off the bat. For short range I usually do 1 clip of faction -50%, 1 clip of alternate damage type faction for projectiles, 3 loads of dirt cheap T1 ammo -50% and one load of T2 LR Ammo. For long range guns I take a clip of faction for 2-3 ranges, 1 clip of both T2 Ammo types and clips of T1 for different ranges. For Missiles 1 faction clip for one Dmg type, a clip of both T2's and clips of all types in T1. All together ship ammo costs 500k - 2 mil per ship below Battleships. I keep a small stock pile of different ammo's on hand for refills after fights, Drones too.
If you use EveHQ, you can create your fits (including ammo in the cargohold) and then export a mutliple of each fit to a requisition. Once you have done that, the requisition lists every single module that you need along with the quantity. No notepad required.

RvB is a great place to drop an alt with a few billion, get drunk off your ass, and shoot anything blinky...
Don't expect anything else...
I'm not entirely clear on the point of this... but I do have a sudden urge to jump in a catalyst and blow up a miner...
