Peregriunus left the Barracks because he didn't feel right being apart of something he didn't put much time into.
Good to know. that will affect my decisions greatly.
Slash said he will return once the new layout is installed. Which noeone knows the exact date of this occasion but we know it won't be until 2007
Not too far from now.
Okay. It does let me know that Slash is officially on haitus, though.
I'm glad your putting thought into putting fresh, well deserved members into new positions.
That was always my plan here in the Barracks. In case the newer people didn't know, my philosophy on Barracks Officer positions was simply that they acted as recognition for contributions to the Barracks, not reasons TO contribute to the Barracks. My nominations and appointments will naturally continue in this fashion.
I'm liking what I am seeing.
Good to know. ;-)

I, sadly, actually had a Wiimote in-hand while I read that...then I actually bowled a 279, which is my highest score yet in Wii bowling...almost as if it was related.
...smartass... :-)

As far as I know he is doing it for the time being, although I'm sure I've seen offers from other Barracks members to help out from time to time.
It does appear, though, that Major_punk has resumed the role as the primary updater of the roster?
Second order of business, has Peregrinus been around? If not, are we in the need for a new NGPD LaisoN?
Kind of reiterating what Hemlok said- he resigned from the Barracks and more precisely his role as NGPD liason a few weeks ago. He didn't feel he was putting the time into B/Ping to merit being a part of the Barracks, and felt that the NGPD no longer knew him as they once did due to the constantly evolving roster. I believe Slash was meant to be covering the NGPD liason role as he was better known and more respected, but due to his inactivity I'm not sure what the situation is. Littlewashu certainly posts in there from time to time.
Excellent. Thanks for the input. I have my own ideas about the promotions, which I will iterate when the time comes.
Third order of business, I notice SlashFirestorm has not been around...are we in the need for a new Recruitment Officer while Slash is on his haitus?
He'll be back eventually, and in the mean time Phantom has been officially welcoming new members, although we all chip in with pointing them to the FAQ etc.
Good to know...that also helps with my ideas...
Last order: I have Barracks members in mind for a reinstatement of either the Advancement Officer position. I've seen quite a large amount of Portal-protection spirit that I feel must not go unrecognized. i would like the Barracks Members' input on this. Most notably, I would like my Lieutenant to fill me in on these positions and Barracks members, as I am only recently back to Newgrounds.
If I may I'd like to suggest Elite Guard Brigadier General Hemlok for an officer role in the Barracks. I'm not sure which he would be most suited for, or what he would like to do, but he is one of the most active and experienced users in the Barracks that doesn't already have an officer duty here, and I think he could fill the role admirably.
I'm very glad you said that, as well as PenguinLink reiterating it...maybe I'm not so out of touch with the Barracks as I thought I was...you'll see below.
plus if you can occupy him here I might be able to catch him in the B/P ranks :D
Double-motive much?
I'd certainly like to see things get organised a little better as far as the officers go, and there are plenty of new members who post often and well enough to merit some kind of recognition in the Barracks.

Well, gimme a break, Brigadier General...I JUST came back! :-) However, you are right, we do need to update the Officer list.
That being said, let's get to my plans:
First order: I am thinking of instating Major_punk as the current Records Officer. However, I would like Barracks consensus and the advisement of my Lieutenant before doing so, to make sure I am not usurping ADT unjustly.
Second order: Slash's haitus leaves us without a Recruitment Officer, leaving all this work on my Lieutenant. Until Slash's return, I wish to nominate a Barracks member who I consider quite active and fit for the role. That being said, I wish for the Barracks' opinion on Brigadier General Donthurtme taking up the role as our Recruitment Officer until further notice. As an excellent example of an upstanding Barracks Member, he will undoubtedly do well to guide potential recruits to the proper FAQs and to generate membership.
Do the Barracks members here feel Donthurtme up for the role of Recruitment Officer?
Third order: In light of Peregrinus' leave, we have positions to fill. Our NGPD Laison is no more, as well as what appears to be our Mafia Laison. I would like nominations from the Barracks as to who might fill these positions. Also, thanks to my Lieutenant, we are now aligned with the honorable NGDD. I would like to also ask for nominations for a NGDD Laison as well.
Last order: The Barracks Advancent Officer is a position that was originally created for Supreme Commander XwaynecoltX, as he was an excellent inspiration to other Barracks members for not only B/Ping, but flagging and reviewing. He served as a role model for many, and caused me to create the position. Once he was no longer active in the Barracks, I not only vacated the position, but made it inactive, as there was little need for the position, nor anyone to fill its role.
However, in light of what I've seen lately, and what was recommended to me, I have decided to officially offer the position of Barracks Advancement Officer to Brigadier General Hemlok in recognition for his upstanding membership here in the Barracks. You are undoubtled looked highly upon by other Barracks Members, which suits you perfectly for the role. Your duties would simply be to continue to be the role model you are while encouraging all to advance in their ranks and serve their duty on the Portal not just through B/Ping, but by reviewing and by flagging flash. Your 500+ reviews and Deity whistle indicate you are active in both of these additional forms of protecting the Portal, which leaves me no more need for deliberation.
Do you take the position, Brigadier General?
Also, I would like my other members to provide nominations for the laison positions we need, as well as input as to Donthurtme taking up the Recruitment Officer position.
