How did you occupy your free time in Iraq?

So far here's the breakdown we work 12hrs days six on one off.
My free time so far i pretty much just been spending in the gym; Monday,wednesday,friday,satuday is weight lifting, tuesday,thursay,sunday is jui-jitsu. Next month i'm going to try and prep class for a CLEP test.
But pretty much after I leave the gym and I take a shower its the end of the day. On my days off well i just sleep in, make some phone calls back home, use the pc and try and borrow a movie.
Let me know what you guys did to make time move faster especially if you're here for a year. I'm only here for 4 months thank god.

i was on a ship for 6 months in iraq-we killed time by playing Halo,smoking cigarrettes, watching bike vids,smoking cigarrettes, working on warfare shiit and smoking cigarrettes.

Re: How did you occupy your free time in Iraq?

well. my platoon is the mobile assaullt platoon or MAP. theres 3 sections. im in section 2. we have three different tasks, QRF(quick reaction force), Missions, and gaurd. its a 3 week rotation. every week you change.missions you have set times which you will patrol, but we usually do 3 or 4 patrols every day. QRF we chill until we get called out, it gets hectic. and gaurd we have 4 hours on post and 8 hours off. i lift everyday, day dream, watch ****, play stupid games with my buddies, watch movies, computer and phone. its really pretty boring over here
