I joined a corp when i firsted started playing about a 4-5 days ago then i sent an app to a pvp corp that I was interested in and they accepted but when i bring up my toon on my iphone app to check skills and so forth it shows both corps under my name. So does this mean I belong to both or how does it work? And how do I quit a corp if I want to? Thanks...

You will always be in exactly 1 corporation. You can never be corp-less or in multiple corps (as things stand now). You should be able to leave a corp from the corporation window.

You are most likely thinking about your employment history. As mentioned above you can only be a part of one corp at the time but every time you leave or join a corp it will be in your history. The employment history is used a lot by recruiters to see weather or not your a corp jumper,and what kind of corperations you have joined in the past (pirate,industry and so on). Since you are so young you dont have to worry much about it but you should keep it in mind and dont switch corps before your absolutely sure you are joining a corp you would enjoy and stay in for a while.

To leave a corp you can right click your own name and quit corp. Bottom option. But if the corp has given you roles you need to remove the roles and then wait 24 hours before you are able to leave/join a new one. This option is called Remove all roles and grantable roles.

You may also be thinking of your alliance, which is different to your corp. Alliances are groups of corps who work together towards a common goal within the game mechanics. Every player must be in a corp (if not a player corp, then an NPC one), but not every corp is necessarily part of an alliance.

Right now I'm showing you as a member of the corp "Red Federation", which is a member of the alliance "RvB - RED Federation".

Thank you all for your reply's. One other question though. It shows me as a member of red fed Corp for1 day but a member of alliance for 7 months. How is this possible? My account is only like 5 days old. Thanks.

The leave corp option quoted above while technically correct is not something you should be doing. You do not need to leave your current corp before you are able to join another player corp. To do so will drop you into an NPC corp between the two player corps and will pollute your employment history. It is not a huge issue, but it is considered a good thing to keep your employment history as short as possible.

You do need to drop roles though before transferring between corps. Most Corps will give you some roles if just to enable you to use the lowest tier of Corp hanger available. It takes 24 hours to drop roles and once you have started dropping roles your old corp cannot assign new roles unless you cancel the dropping roles operation. You can put your application into a new corp before your roles drop. The new corp can attempt to accept you, but they will get an error message, saying you can't be accepted for another X hours. The application remain actionable until they actually accept or reject it.

I can't remember how to drop roles, but there is a button or a right click option buried in the Corp tabs somewhere. Note that even if you haven't or don't think you have got any roles assigned it is a good idea to click this button, because it stops your old corp assigning you new roles while you are waiting for your new corp to accept you. Something which happened to me recently delaying my transfer for 24 hours unnecessarily.

Once your roles have dropped, any corp you have an application with can accept you and you will transfer over to that corp as soon as the recruiting officer clicks the accept button on your application. You do not have to be online for that to happen and you don't get the option to confirm or reject the action. Note, if you change your mind and apply to a second new corp, your original application isn't erased. ie It is possible to have two or more applications open at the same time and then getting accepted by both of them which will leave you in the last one that accepted you, unless the first one immediately assigned you roles. So if you do change your mind, talk to the corp you don't want to join asking them to reject your application.
