Do you still have a lot of down-time, or are you kept pretty busy?
or similar:
What time do you have to get up tomorrow, noon?
A few weeks after I got back from leave, we went through a reorganization and we now get about one "down day" a week. A down day isn't a day off, it just means that we don't have to go out on a mission. We clean weapons, work on the truck, take a turn on a detail, etc.
But the days we do go on missions are not very tough; there's still plenty of time to get stuff done. It's not too bad, except when, following our nature, we focus on the platoons who work less and ignore those who work more. It did get to me when my roommate, who's in a different platoon, said, "Aw man, tomorrow's my day on."
