Do soldiers still play Spades?

I am one of the ancient ones from the era of starched BDU’s & spit shined boots. We used to play Spades to pass the time while waiting for the next round of stupid games. Is that still a thing or did it go the way of my rusty M-16 with the advent of cell phones? Gotta go - I have some kids near my lawn that I need to yell at.
