Welcome back.  I'm the Beginners' Grammarian now ... fresh meat for you. :)
I didn't ask the original question but I'm answering because you marked it KLBC.

}I'm right?

Actually, pretty close.  You just have to understand what you read.

{leSmeH poHlIj}  "your time for the purpose to relax" --> the time you have
to relax in

{nI'} - "is long"

{mangghom'e' Damuvmo'} "because you joined the *army*"  The {-'e'} suffix
puts emphasis on the word.

The person was confusedly restating your assertion that you have a lot of
free time because you joined the army.

mangghom Damuvmo' DavumnISbe''a'?
