Variation on the Macro Mondays theme: "When I was a child..."
When I was growing up I was an Army Brat and lived on and off base in several places. Naturally I loved my toy soldiers and spent hours playing with them in the sandy soil of the various flower beds around our houses.

My main pic for my lil micro scene, which I'm using as an entry for the Micro Sci-Fi Contest at Eurobricks.
Overview: These sea-borne bases were built over vast oceans as reinforcement hubs for any imminent invasion. They house everything an army needs for a successful invasion from hordes of tanks to giant mechs.
The fifth USS Independence (CV-62) was an 80,000-ton (full load) conventionally-powered Forrestal-class aircraft carrier and is seen here in the Eastern Mediterranean in the summer of 1982, en route to waters near Beirut where the US Sixth Fleet supported US Marines ashore facilitating the evacuation of the Palestine Liberation Organisation following their defeat by Israel.
Launched at New York Navy Yard on 6 June 1958 and commissioned 10 January 1959, she was 326m in length with a beam of 82.3m and a draught of 11.3m. She was powered by eight Babcock & Wilcox boilers that provided 280,000 shp via four Westinghouse geared turbines to four shafts. These gave her a top speed of 34 kt.
The twin-rotor helicopter near her stern is not part of the carrier's air group. It is one of two CH-46 Sea Knights based aboard the USS Mount Baker (AE-34), from which I took this photo. Time has dimmed my memories and I cannot explain why the helo was on the deck - we normally only conducted VERTREPs with the carriers.
The large ship's number painted on the funnel is somewhat obscured by other paint jobs for some reason. See www.flickr.com/photos/67307569@N00/4890073871 for another view, from wider on the beam where the mess is clearer than above.
Scanned from a slide.

No matter how many EVAs you do, it’s NEVER just casual when you venture outside of the space station. After all, it’s the most extreme environment human beings have ever been exposed to. Shane, the team and myself are focused for round 3 today
Peu importe le nombre de fois où on sort de la Station spatiale, ça ne devient JAMAIS une routine. C’est quand même l’environnement le plus extrême auquel l'être humain ait jamais été exposé. Shane, l’équipe et moi : tout le monde est entièrement concentré pour le match 3.

Pictures taken at MoD Abbey Wood, home to the Defence Equipment and Support procurement organisation, showing personnel deployed on Operation Temperer. Deployed personnel are from CLR [Commando Logistics Regiment], Barnstaple, Devon.
Military personnel are being placed in key public locations to support armed police in protecting the public. These include Buckingham Palace, Downing Street, embassies and the Palace of Westminster.
Operation TEMPERER – the mobilisation plan for military support to the police service following a major terrorist attack - has been initiated. Military personnel will be deployed alongside the police at nominated sites to provide additional protective security.
They will be backfilling existing armed guarding roles filled by armed police units, thereby releasing armed police officers to support the wider incident response.
