What the military has trained you to do, calisthenics.

YouTube is full of various trainers who do body weight only exercise programs. Mastering your own body weight is way harder then throwing some weight on a bar.

Get your workout done at home, outside. Go run, do HIIT, Calisthenics w/ pylometrics. Just because you can't get to a gym doesn't mean you can't workout. Get one of those DVDs for Insanity, P90X; find a good tree limb and do pullups.

Run on actual pavement and body weight exercises. Hell, I'll start doing a set of pushups and it's not long before my daughters are climbing on my back during my set. Who needs a weighted vest when you have children.

Go find an NCO with a DSL patch. I'll bet that person can find plenty of work out related things for you to do within an eight foot circle. I know I could. Just humor, but very true.

The world is your gym.
We had no gym for first 6 month of Iraq so we made routines with isometrics (body weight exercise pre cross fit era) made weights and pull up bars and did army PT. You figure it out if your commited.

No one needs to go to the gym tow workout. People have been getting in and staying in shape without gyms for hundreds of years. One can run/job/walk almost anywhere you wish; at any time you wish regardless of weather.
Weights? There are rocks everywhere, of varying weights and shapes. Get creative. No need for some overpriced DVD that's hyped up to get you in "Warrior" or "Insane" shape in a month.

One of my former bosses always carried a Kettle bell for PT. He had lots of TDYs and it became a way to stay in shape in the hotel. Not all hotels have gyms.
