It's all good. YOU KNOW YOU CAN COUNT ON ME, so long as I don't have anything else going on ;P

And yes, extend your B/Ping break further. Gives me a chance to gain a little ground on you. I still really want to get Commander before you hit EGSC.

Oh well. Good luck for that. My plans are to do the first year of an undergrad English Literature degree and then convert to Law after that. Fun.

I won't bore you with details, but the long and short of it is that I did really well (better than 95% of the country apparently) but just missed out on medicine.

Wow, you did that well, yet you still do not get into the requirements to become a doctor!? That ridiculous! I wish you all the happiness in the world though with pharmaceuticals.

My sister went to Bastyr University. She Got her degree in Naturopathic Medicine

Irish education system in a nutshell. Standard is good, but expectations are ludicrous.

I wish you all the happiness in the world though with pharmaceuticals.

To be honest with you I'm using this course to get my primary degree so I can apply for post-grad medicine. I've wanted to be a doctor for as long as I can recall. And if for some reason it doesn't work out, then I would have the Pharmaceutical and Industrial Chemistry degree to fall back on.

My sister went to Bastyr University. She Got her degree in Naturopathic Medicine

Alternative medicine eh? Sounds interesting. It's not really my cup of tea (traditional medicine is more my thing) but I do respect other forms of treatment. I hope she's successful with it.

Hey, do you want me to going a B/Ping break too so you can catch up? Of course you can't reach Sup Commander before me, but you can out rank me eventually, lol.

On an unrelated note, I got a letter today telling me when my Sudent Finance gets paid into my account, I get over £1500 of my grant and loan payed into my account on the 22nd of September, then some in 2009 at some point, nice how they break it up and don't put it in all at once.

Now I just need to send off my DSA form and apply for a Citzenship card since my Connections card expires next year on my Birthday which would leave me with no ID :(

YES, I SHALL OVERTAKE YOU ALL!

Heh, nah I probably won't. Once I hit EGSC I'm slowing right down.

Yeah, I got mine today too. I think we're the early birds, because some people the majority of people don't get theirs for another month apparently. I was pleased to see I got a maintenance grant on top of my loan, so I'm getting a decent amount of cash to tie me over for the year.

My letter doesn't say when the money gets paid into my account, though. I imagine it must be around the same time as yours seeing as we both got the letter today.

You ought to take a look at this.

Maybe here too.

Thnks fr th pdt, NVR!

NEVR's note:

Another slow week in comparison to what we normally manage.

I know what you're talking about.

For those of you who don't already know, Clock Day is on Friday, so I hope y'all have fun for that.

My main goal this year is to get at least one Blam point. Who's with me?

Total B/P gain this week: 4,593 (095.7 B/P per member)
Total B/P gain last week: 4,203 (087.6 B/P per member)
Difference: +390 overall B/P gain since last week

Hmm, proof that my absence was compensated with more people being more active. Meh, I never made much difference, anyway.

Praporshchik: 2 (4.2%)

Soon to leave this place. Along with Corkson.

New to the list this week: idiot-buster

No welcomes. Seriously.

Promotions:

RohantheBarbarian - Pvt. First Class

It isn't that much, but congrats.

Another slow week here (though I can't say much). Mendou regained the top spot, even though the difference is small compared to the 2nd place, Metal-Therapy, who's probably working right now. lilhunter had a major drop on his pace, and aldlv took the chance and reduced the difference.

Stay tuned.

I did all my forms way back in May I think, after printing them all out off my PC because the Student Finance place refused to send me a copy to my house, they just said print it. That cost quite a bit of ink, lol. DSA I haven't sorted yet though, so I might be a bit late with that :s

Oh yeah, I'll be getting enough for me, lol, considering I've not fallen down to £400 from the money I saved for JSA yet, I think I'll have plenty :s

Strange, mine even tells me when my tuition fee loan gets paid to the University, though it depends when you start, if you start on the 22nd like me, then I believe that'll be your first payment.

I think I did mine in June, but for some reason I got moved towards the front of the queue, so to speak.

I remember having to print out my tenant's agreement... 35 pages worth of ink :/

It's all about budgeting -- something which many of my friends failed at in their first year. I hope to put them to shame with my hopefully excellent budgeting skills, but we shall see ;P

Strange, mine even tells me when my tuition fee loan gets paid to the University, though it depends when you start, if you start on the 22nd like me, then I believe that'll be your first payment.

I start on the 27th, so it might be then. Might have to get in touch with them and see what's the happy haps on that ;P

Glad to hear everything's getting sorted for you though. Sometimes seems like a bit of a never-ending process to me.

Ok, i'm not trying to start a fight just wondering. Theres no need for that unless Sir-Nuts thinks there is reason to.

Hey guys, sorry I haven't been here pretty much...all summer but I wanted to let you all know I should be back. I only told the NGDD before leaving, but my I found out a while ago that my dad has Leukemia, and it was pretty tough to deal with. I'm almost positive I'll be back on NG now, and I'll make sure to catch up on the last few pages.

Oh yeah, you can say that, lol. I was trying to get my DSA sorted with the rest of the finances but my College refused to send me a copy of my old Dyslexia report so I had to contact the University I'm going to for them to arange one, which I did last month so that's no longer a problem, well except having to do the DSA form which I've nearly done.

The University I'm going to provides support even before the DSA process is complete, not full support but some which should help, lol.

It's a lot of effort to get all of this done though :x

Does this mean you want me to stop depositing for you or do you want me to keep it up for a little while. It doesn't bother me either way to be honest. I've gotten into a routine of depositing multiple accounts now.

You've been sorely missed, man. Sorry to hear about your dad, that's gotta be tough. It'll be nice to see you back, but you know that I advocate life > NG, so take your time.

Well that's alright then I suppose. Bureaucracy is terrible, though. Seems to hinder the process so much more than it needs to be.

I'll probably be on the list next week. Watch out kids, Mendou might be back :P

Top 3 biggest average rises: RohantheBarbarian (24.0+), Mendou (22.1+), Phantom (17.0+)

Nice, I suppose.

Thank for the update. I think I'm finally back in the game. I was just a little tired and needed to just chill out for a few weeks before getting back into b/p.

Probably, nobody is a big enough loser to keep a list of other people he considers to have no life on the basis of them posting in Rage's thread (I'm on the list btw). Ironic though, he thinks WE have no life, yet he spends his time trolling Wi/Ht and keeping that retarded list.

Oh well, I sent BBM an IM about him yesterday and he said he took care of it, probably gave him a ban or something.

Hi evryone. I'm sonofkirk, and I was wondering if I could join here at the EGB? I'm a Private and I have a Silver whistle at the moment. I'm very active on the Audio Portal and on the BBS (Especially on the Rage's Thread).

Hello, you'll have to wait until SlashFirestorm (our recruitment officer) comes along to start the recruitment process. In the meantime, have a read of the following:

Barracks FAQ
Barracks Officer List
Elite Guard Barracks Manifesto

That should help you familiarize yourself with who we are, what we do, and the way in which we run. The recruitment process will be explained to you by Slash when he sees you've applied.

Good luck.

Those are hard to keep up with, I believe when I wrote the first EGB FAQ, I tried to keep up with congratulations posts, at least on this thread, to keep ranks of Officers, or just checked them out myself monthly. But I probably also made it way more complicated.

This is the first time I've updated it since PossiblePancakes had his username changed... it's not so bad updating the ranks every once in a while seeing as most of the other officers are Supreme Commanders. The only ranks I had to change was mine and Joshiwa's.

I can't be assed to update it very often, though. People can just check our profiles if they want to see our actual rank.
