I'm not interested in joining by any means (plus I know I don't have the right B/P or whistle rank yet), but I have a question out of mere curiosity. How much of your daily lives would you say being part of the EGB takes up, especially if you do it regularly? By that I mean doing the actual duty, not the act of just being a member.
That is a very good question. We have quite a few folks in various time zones actively monitoring and supporting this forum; some members are on 2-3 hours a day, others maybe an hour, and others pop in every few days. There's no set schedule, and it's definitely a labor of love. I can tell you, as the Chief Barracks Officer, that they all have a very high level of dedication, professionalism and loyalty to the Barracks and the functions the Barracks perform.
It's not so much how much time they spend here - it's the quality of the time spent when they are. I can only answer for myself - I'm constantly checking in to see if anything needs attention, but I may not comment on something if someone else has handled it. I would say I'm on and off the forum about an hour a so a day. I am sure there are others who spend much more time than me here. Based on their activity, I would venture that EGSC @Guthrie , EGSC @Little-Rena, EGSC @Exedor and a few others spend at least an hour a day - or more - here, if I had to guess.
Like anything else, if you like what you're doing, it isn't a job!
Hope this helped.

Chief Barracks Officer
