In the Army, recreation is highly valued

 Let’s clear something up right now: It’s not all business on an Army installation. In the Army, recreation is highly valued. It’s readily understood how important downtime and relaxation are to soldiers and families. That’s why there’s a wealth of recreation available just about everywhere. Most installations have a variety of activities for soldiers and their families. Typical military recreation and leisure programs include everything from sporting activities and outdoor recreation to music and theater programs, arts and crafts shops, tour and travel offices, and libraries. Many of these activities are free, though some have a very nominal charge for their use.
