What is this spare time you talk of?

Could it be:

- Recreational events like bar brawls entertain the guardsmen and the commissar equally.
- visiting certain establishments to resupply the schola progenium....
- attend to sermons of the ecclesiarchy...
- start another brawl with PDF or household militia just because the "IG rulez" and "you toy soldiers suck"....
- volunteer for more training exercises ( Krieg , only?).
- cleanse the regiments dropships floors because of stated activities above....

Inside your mind, corrupting the pathways

In Gaunt's Ghosts, they do pretty much all the normal things - training, visiting family (the baggage train contains wives, "ladies of negotiable virtue", children, etc), playing games, playing games on other regiments, gambling, attending religious services and generally getting into trouble.

Well once they are retired they are often given the custodian ship of a newly conquered world they helped to pacify, say at the end of a crusade. Then again, most regiments simply fight until they are destroyed or adsorbed by another regiment.

In all seriousness though, they probably do what you or I would do in our off time; listen to music, watch vids, read, maybe visit a brothel or two every now and again... the basic things.

I bet they do the same thing every day:

Wake up. Wash up. Polish Gun. Eat breakfast. Drink booze. Polish gun. Drink Booze. Play poker. Vid training (someone substituted in an adult video in place of the commisar speaking). Polish gun obsessively. Eat Lunch. Drink Booze. Visit neighboring regiment. Drink Booze. Get into fight with neighboring regiment. Drink Booze. Visit chapel (while Drinking booze). Visit Brothel (located in said chapel). Drink Booze. Polish Gun. Inspection. Dinner. Drink Booze while polishing gun. Visit bar. Drink booze. Barfight. Polish gun. Attend infirmary. Sleep. Repeat.

Least, that's what it seems like when they're not dieing (in other circles, this is known as fighting.).

They tried to get laid but then get thrown off into the last chancers or
They go eat ice cream.
They eat the blood of their enemies.
They have a ignorant sergeant with a shotgun
They decompose.
They play with their guns.
Etc. etc. boring crap.
Yeah nothing really good for the IG after hours. Just paperwork for officers, and drinking and ladies for nonofficers.

but for OP please get rid of that sig. It annoys the hell out of me.

Guardsmen are still people. Admittedly people who have fought against some of the most monstrous thing in the universe but still people. They do things like play football, drink, get laid, drink. And then soldier stuff which is probably something to do with uniforms or guns.
