When was the last time you had fun—real, just-for-the-sake-of-it fun? Not multitasking. Not being productive. Not checking something off your list. Just fun. In military life, it’s easy to prioritize responsibilities, schedules, and everything that needs to get done. And somewhere along the way, play becomes something we push to the bottom of the list.
