It all depends on your unit. Most units I've been in required 1.5 hours every morning, Monday through Friday. Each day you had to run a minimum of 4 miles, with the exception of Thursdays, which we do ruck (backpack) marches. The rest of the time would be filled with muscular fitness (a lot of pull-ups, push-ups, and abdominals).

In the army and in my unit we did it 5 times a week for 1 1/2 hours plus "Special PT" for those that were failing for 1 hour in the afternoon and once on the weekends. Then of course there were the toolboxes and the Hummer tires and the wrenches ( oh Lord the Wrenches!) that we lugged around all day so perhaps a good amount of time was spent PT'ing.

Depends on your job. I was a Sonar Tech on Submarines and I can tell you that I did absolutely no exercising at all. Not out at sea, not while in port. In fact, once I left bootcamp there was no rigid, enforced exercise plan for us. I was in school in Connecticut for 1 year and then in San Diego for another year of school and 4 years on 2 different submarines and the only time I ever had to do any physical exercise was every 6 months for our physical fitness test. We had to do like 35 sit-ups, 25 push-ups and run 1.5 miles in under 22 minutes or so. And that was it. And we didn't even always do that every 6 months like we were supposed to. If we were out at sea we just forgot about it until the next one rolled around.

Depends on the base and the commanders orders.
Some days depends on the activities for that day.
usualy 30 minutes to 11/2 hours a day in the morning
3 to 5 days a week.
You could usually make it up on the weekends if you didn't show up.

Generally an hour to an hour-and-a-half per session. When I was in, some units did PT five days a week, some did only three days a week.

I know that the Army does harder work and longer.
