working out and military

[pionex]

Do most guys in the military find that they have more time on deployment to lift than they do in garrison? i just find it strange that some people acturally put more time in the weightroom when they deploy vs. the time they spend at home. I on the otherhand do have time, but gets interefered with unnecesarily long days that can stretch all the way till 9 at night.

I usually spend about the same amount of time working out whether deployed or not. However, I usually have better gains when deployed due to better rest, chow, less interruptions. At home I have a wife, three kids, two dogs, my bass boat, etc...lot's of things that also take up time. Here...I've got nothing but time to workout.

It also helps that I've been around for a long time and have reached a point in my career where a lot of details are done by others.

I spend more time man, there is nothing else to distract you here, I get "off" shift, and I beat feet to the gym, tear it up for a couple hours, somtimes longer, head to the tent and watch a movie and rack-out; everyday... makes time go by in a blink... seriously feels like i've been here for a couple months and I'm almost done...

For a lot of marines I know, no alcohol frees up a lot of time so they go to the gym.

It helps pass the time, work, workout and sleep best way to pass the time over here. No alcohol helps too.
