(GURPS) Eric Jacobson, Gamified, Year Ten

It's a crazy year, where even the fondest of Christmas traditions seem to be bothersome to me.  One tradition that almost passed me by entirely is my odd attempt at gamifying my on-again off-again dream journal, and translate them into character points for a GURPS (3rd Edition) version of myself.  I've been doing things this way for over 30 years, and the dream version of myself isn't some glorified super-hero...

It's Tom Arnold character from True Lies (Albert Gibson).

309.5 points

I've slept like garbage this past year, so it's no surprise that there's little excitement going on.  I'm still some mid-level management in the intelligence field.  Like a many procedural show, my character may have taken a step back "this season", letting the other characters grab the spotlight.  

There are a few odd new skills, plus the electronics skills, some weapon training, and a half-point in Jetpack that makes me believe that one "episode" is one where there's a flashback to my military service, (Possibly Army, although I'd lean towards Navy, based on these skill point disbursement).
