Tight Teens R Best (TTRB) is a Carlsbad, New Mexico badass clan of a video game Call of Duty. They are a nonprofit organization run by a volunteer force of dumbass and badass members committed to promoting and raising awareness of their clan, especially Call Of Duty. TTRB is composed of strong, friendly, intelligent, enthusiastic men from all walks of life pursuing emotional outbursts and physical death by challenging their perceived limits. As a clan, they also wish to promote mental and physical empowerment, development of skills, loyalty on and off the server, individuality, and teamwork - throughout the entire game, both locally and nationally.
The modern reincarnation of PvP Player vs Player, Call of Duty is only just the beginning TTRB will be famous in. Not only is TTRB the only clan the best in the South, it is one of only a small handful of people. Modern, PvP games which are already released include: Halo 5, Black Ops 3, Gears of War, GTA 5.

Even more unique, TTRB is the only one of these PvP games who is a nonprofit organization!
