Bumpady Bump!
TGRADs and the BRUCEs are great!
I joined and found a bunch of great mature people working together to realise a common goal and vision.
0.0 life can be harsh where we live in Syndicate and all due to the many interesting things we encounter. And there is no shortage of pew pew for those who care. Ofcourse, there are rooms for the care bear types as well.
The alliance and the number of corp members online 24/7 is amazing. I hail from Singapore and was initially thinking it would be hard to find people online to fly with because of my timezone. How wrong I was. There are guys on all the time, though certain times are 'quieter' than the rest.
Anyway, the people from TGRADS and BRUCE are great to fly with and are mature, organised and fun. Exactly the thing I was looking for in EVE after I became bored soloing L4s all the time.

I remember my first day after arriving at the TGRAD home base in 0.0 with no experience whatsoever in 0.0 life. I was thinking 'What the heck do I do now?'
I wasn't even sure if it was safe to undock from the NPC station since this was '0.0' where ships are never 100% safe. Don't get me wrong, there are blues everywhere in locals and the surrounding systems, so it wasn't as if I was alone in the middle of nowhere.
It felt like moving to live in college on the first day, and trying to adjust in the campus, the dormatories, the room mates and the people busily going about their daily life.
Took a while for me to get into the routine of things, but for the first few days, I was a total noob. Just to get the ball rolling, I did a few missions (which I was familiar with in high sec) and rat a bit. Wasn't too bad, the LP was better in high sec, the rat spawn juicier... I was happy.
Until I lost my first ratting ship.
I forgot in 0.0, there is always the hidden danger of enenemy gang incursion. I became to complacent and thought, "hey, I am in BRUCE heartland, what can go wrong? There are blues everywhere, and I am sure help will arrive just around the corner."
It doensn't take long for a high skilled Ishtar pilot or a few Vagas and HAC's to rip your 'ubber' ratting ship aprt, when all along you could tank a whole room full of NPC's BS in your Lv4 mission. Funny eh?
Now every time I dock, I would watch the intel channels for reports on hostile movements and check local for reds. it doesnt take much common sense and just a few good habits to stay alive in hostile 0.0 land.
