Wow, so far, I've only seen ONE -Dreg- Day flash. I thought there would be more of those flashes by now. Maybe before I go off the internet at 4PM EST, I might see a few more -Dreg- Day flashes. Always the busiest time on the portal when I'm offline. *sigh* Too bad since if there'd be more -Dreg- Day flashes right now, I'd probably be at around 10 B/P away from 21000.
It has just started to pick up, sir.

Welcome to the 12/23/2005 Elite Guard Barracks Membership List!
This list was started at 12:06pm and it took exactly 2 hours ... Enjoy!
Excellent update, sir! I like the list a lot! The "inactive list" is another great touch, as it makes us aware of potentials, and can recognize those that are interested. Perhaps it could even act as incentive to become active again!

Let me get this right. There are 3 jobs that need report to me... does that leave any work for me?
I made a mistake on one position. The Barracks Recruitment Officer would report to the Barracks Advancement Officer (General XwaynecoltX), not yourself.
The reason I have the job is thanks to relations in the HQ, mafia and this Barracks which few others have... Only one suitable for any of these jobs that correlate with mine is around here so far. the_fallen_one1...
Well, like I said, one position is not under your jurisdiction. However, the NGPD Laison I feel is an important role, as recent dischargees of the club would be able to correspond between both places. I feel that there are several candidates for the position, the most notable right now being Captain K-Pingu, considering all he has done for the NGPD. However, there can indeed be more than one Laison, as it is technically not an officer position. However it is a delegated role in the Barracks, which will make your job easier.
As far as the second position (Barracks Reconaissance Operations Officer), I consider it important for the club as activity must be searched for all around the BBS. Note that this position is merely in charge of discovering information outside the barriers of our friends and the Barracks. The only reason recon ops was considered to be under your command is because it deals with Barracks Relations. If you wish, sir, I can make it so that the position does not report to you, and you will only have laisons under your control (and, if you wish to have one in the future, a Lieutenant to assist you in your duties when you are not around).
And thank god Major_punk is making the list already... And if we have a website it would be nice to hang out during DEFCON 4 or 5…
I must agree, it is a great job. I would love to have a chat room similar to the one the NGPD has, as I think it would help during those slow nights on the Portal.

And we're now on page 30. Nice to see how this thread has grown so fast.
I noticed that myself, sir. I found it amazing that the last roster was posted on page NINE, and that wasn't too long ago!

Barracks Advancement Officer - General XwaynecoltX
Im pretty sure he was given this becuase he had the most B/P's in the EGB but thats not the case now, I think there might be some changes.
General XwaynecoltX is excellent at motivating troops and giving us vision in our Portal duties. His insights have charged many since him coming here, which has qualified him for the position.
Barracks Recruitment Officer - Reports to Barracks Relations Officer
I think this one is stupid.
I respectfully don't think so, sir. Many people come around asking what it takes to be in the Elite Guard, and I think it would be good to have someone be in charge of fielding the questions. In that way, they can be assured of getting the most complete answer and everyone can be properly directed. Also, if people need help on B/Ping and whatnot, this is the person in charge.
Barracks Intelligence Operations Officer - Reports to Barracks Portal Operations Officer
Same with this one.
I had given a detailed reason for this before, but it didn't put it in for space reasons. This officer would be in charge of finding information on potential Portal activity. Scouring websites and forums would be the main duty of this officer, attempting to find any potential threats. In essence, Portal Ops is the head Intel Ops officer, but there can be others assisting in his duties.
Barracks Reconaissance Operations Officer - Reports to Barracks Relations Officer
I dont think we need two.
Well, Recon Ops is different from Intel Ops as it deals with barracks relations, not Portal threats.
So for you to have a special role you would need to specify in a particular area.
Also, these are IDEAS, which I am throwing out to give people ideas for what they want to do if they want to serve the Portal. I personally believe these positions are all excellent, but some would be more applicable if the Barracks had a larger roster. In the meantime, use these as ideas to figure out what would be your best role here.

Sorry for the double post, sirs! But what do I need to do in order to be appointed as an Elite Guard officer? I noticed that I had more b/p points than some people who were appointed. EagleBellRock, I really want to be appointed and coontribute as much as I can for the Barracks, please tell me what to do.
Well, sir, it is true you are qualified for a position, but it is unclear of your skills and what you would be best at doing here, sir. Please read above, as I address this in my reply to Sergeant Major Major_punk.
