    DoD employees get paid to workout during the workday at least. It’s nice.

      In theory.

      In practice, it has to be approved by your supervisor and is only for times when it won’t interfere with progress on actual work.

      So all they’ve gotta do is give you a lot of work to do…or just say no…and you don’t get that anymore.

        It’s never been an issue for us. People go before they come in or at the end of the day. We’re at a Air Force base so if be different at other installations.

          Ok, so as a former Navy guy I have to ask, does golf count as “exercise” in the Air Force?

            No because it’s assumed you’ll use the golfcart. Spinning in chairs counts if you do it long enough to work up a sweat.

      I mean, that kind of makes sense. “Maintain battle readyness” and all that. I would expect everyone in the military, law enforcement, or emergency response should be paid also.

        Thus why I did it, just didn’t like running.
