Lack of ECs

I’m a little worried about my lack of ECs. I’m Active Duty Army and I work about 14 hours a day managing a 12 man machine gun squad. There are also times when I am out in the field (training exercises) for up to a week at a time. Most of my weekends are eaten up by online classes that I am taking. Not to mention, but I am also in Afghanistan right now. I have a very busy schedule and I don’t have time for volunteer work. One thing I do like to do is work on my personal fitness. Would that be an EC that I can write on my application? It sounds kind of cheesy, you know.

I just want to know what the admissions board will think if the EC section in my application is blank. I address how much I work in essay, so they should understand, right?
