Dave's post below inspired me to stand up and tell the world that I'm alive.
Army is nice, nothing too strong so far. Beer & more twice a week, and we already bonded to a strong group.
My weekend has exactly 30 hours, travelling time included - I slept during ~16 of them.
Gun training is on the schedule next week, I'll share pictures to those interested (if possible).
Did I miss anything (apart from the usual spam and Leslie's death)?

Glad to hear your are all right...
While you take pictures - take care on which end of the gun you are!!!
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

Good to hear you're doing well, good luck and stay safe.
As I grow older I've found that pleasing everyone is impossible but pissing everyone off is a piece of cake.

The Great Escape was awesome, I also liked a lot of other stuff he did also.

One of the greats: Rockford was superb.
Marlowe [^] with Bruce Lee. I wonder if this counts as one of the very earliest uses of the word 'gay' not as intended! Also, Garner must be one of the only people to outsmart Lee!

Good thing he left an answering machine.

RIP Jimmy! I'll miss you.
Saw Maverick just the other day. 
One of my favourites is Tank[^] - It's not a great movie masterpeice that will stand out in movie history, but I liked it anyway...

I came home from visiting my dad in the hospital and my wife was watching Support Your Local Sheriff. I asked her if she was watching it because JG died, and she said no she hadn't heard about it, but as she was queuing the movie up, she was wondering if he was still alive. Kinda ironic....

All the old greats are getting of that age that if you haven't seen them in anything new lately it is natural to wonder if they are still with us. Sad, so many that we grew up watching are gone or going.

Fit like folks.....just a quick hello from Cyprus. Cooking in the sun, boiling in the pool, drowned at the waterpark. Tomorrow is horse riding and the beach.
Food is great. At least the wife and kids are happy. Minimal bickering

I can deal with that given the conditions...just finished fillet steak and chilli nachos. Another pint on the way to wash down chocolate lava cake.

Latvian, Estonian, and Romanian all walk into bar owned by Russian man. They sit down at bar, and Russian bartender say,"Good evening, comrades! I'll make deal with you: I'll put mystery drink in shot glass. If you can make guess of what drink is, you get 15 minutes alone in back room with Olga. What say, comrades?" All three men happily agree to bet. So, Russian bartender sets shot glass in front of each man, grabs a bottle from shelf, and pours mystery drink.
Estonian take first shot and say, "Hmm, is taste li-..." and Estonian man is fall over dead from stool.
Romanian man take shot next and say, "Hmm, is taste li-..." and Romanian is fall over dead from stool.
Latvian man is take shot and say, "Hmm, is taste like...water runoff from nuclear power plant!"
"Very good, comrade, you guess right! Here is key, go in back. Olga is waiting already." Latvian man is so excite, as wife died from malnourish long ago and hasn't had goat around either because nobody in Latvia have goat.
Latvian man unlocks door, room is dark. He shuts and locks door behind, turns on light and sees Olga. Only Olga is not sexy Russian woman; Olga is large, hungry wolf-dog. Olga attacks the Latvian man, killing and eating him. Is good, because suffering is now over.
