My military days were only as active as my gym subscription. Then again, we don't live on base in the IDF, so I guess your lifestyle is different. It’s great that you get to be so physically active!

I am a big gamer and easily get wrapped up in a game for hours upon hours, when I decide to finally go to bed my eyes feel drained, my brain feels mushy (hard feeling to describe), and a few other not so good feelings. Being in the military daily exercise helps my mind stay clear and long work hours keep me off the computer. So when I am home I will play with my son on computer breaks and the more long term ones I will watch tv with my wife or some other activity where I do not focus as I do on the computer. My 2 cents, great post btw!
