You take care now.

Over half of your service has been completed? Damn, does time fly! (at least for me it does)
Hm, you say you've taken more leadership. Does that mean you've risen in rank?

About the picture: first time I've seen an assault rifle with a bipod. Surprised to see that. Though Jon should exercise a bit more thorough trigger discipline in my humble opinion. Judging from the shadow to the far right, which I do not know is a person or not, and the USMC weapon safety protocol number 3: Keep your finger straight and off the trigger until you're ready to fire. Are these two things moot because of (what I assume to be) the stopper in the muzzle?

[reads how you will use every physical and mental assets you have to create your next animation] ---> *excitement increases* [reads "single self-containing story that puts a bow on my series OVERSEER"?!] That's freaking terrific! This crew you speak of, what kind of expertise do you want and/or need? In any case, good luck my friend, both in the last half of your service, and with the Overseer's bow! :)

@JamesHatfeld @aggimajera Ah. Congratulations? If you accepted the responsibility voluntarily, then consider me impressed my your leadership skills!

Heh, I learnt that safety rule from Wikipedia ;P
Searched "trigger discipline" (wondered about what I've now learned from you is a blank fire adapter), and came across the 4 essential rules of weapons safety for a lot of armed forces, including USMC. Just thought I'd copy it word for word since it's familiar and relevant to you, to arouse your curiosity, and to just make you go "Huh."
Good to hear all possible precautions were taken that day.
Jon was excited, you say? Gung-ho?

Good to hear you've matured mentally (and physically as well) in your time serving your country. Hm. I suppose the time out there changes one's view on a great many things. Are we talking socio-political, socio-economic, mass psychology, what? :)

Wow, that's quite a project indeed! I don't think I could contribute much in the manner of writing when it comes to anything Overseer-related you plan, both since I have no personal experience with guns or any armed forces, and because I mainly write fantasy (Elder Scrolls) fanfic. But if you'd like my input on anything, don't hesitate to ask when the time comes, amigo! In any case, I cross my fingers for your video, your service, and your life, and I can't wait to get the next update!

Be safe out there.
