Activity duty personnel don't. When you're active duty, the military is your job. You train every day, every week, all year. You do physical training and basic martial exercises everyday, and contribute to base maintenance, when you aren't actually on a military exercise.

They're not active duty all the time. After they've served they go back home until they're called again.

You're thinking of reservists, not active-duty personnel.

Elaborate, because last time I checked, the military is 1.5 million-strong, with thousands coming out of high school to enlist.

Here's an article on how the Army is having trouble meeting its recruitment goals. Google and you'll find information on how the Marines are having similar problems. Why do you think the US is using primarily National Guardsmen and reservists in Iraq? It's because we don't have enough troops to fight a war on two fronts.
