I always thought that Secure Software Life Cycle had to do with how long the software can provide a secure cash flow good enough that you don't have to fix it. Did I get that wrong?
Seriously, John... Having tried for decades (that I know about) to teach the DoD and their youngsters how to make software that is functional, robust and maintainable, mostly without much success, isn't it about time to leave the fate of the Free World to the next generation? I quit a few years ago, and tonight I'm sitting in a delightful hotel in So. Dakota - having already enjoyed a delicious rib eye dinner - preparing to visit the local shooting club in the morning with a bunch of online friends who enjoy a day of shooting with others who have read and understand a certain document that defines the country in which we live. It doesn't get much better than that! 
I truly hope that you get all the changes to come together, and that what you're doing continues to be fun. But when it's no longer fun, run. You've earned that, and they need you far more than you need them. Good luck with the contract changes - truly!

The DoD's handles software projects pretty badly. I don't even know where to start with describing the problems.

I remember - 1978, General Dynamics, GDBASIC, HP RTE III, MX21xx minicomputers. It never got any better, though it got a lot more expensive over the years.

Can any salad be a Caesar Salad, if you stab it enough times?

not sure I would die for a salad,
vegetables aren't real food anyway.
these days with more mouths to feed and less land to grow stuff need to economise,
get more value from each meal, so:
1. feed the salad to a cow
2. eat the cow
-> 1 salad fed 2, and both got a proper meal. (cows are herbivores so salad is fine for it.)

Plus, "you are what you eat" - which means that steak counts as a salad, and as one of your "five a day".

I claim to be a vegetarian by proxy. I only eat animals that eat vegetables.

I think this might be a repeat. Anyway.

How many hours per day (or per week) would you say are working/focused on a computer screen? And does this spill over in to weekend hours?

Working 40 hours, other 25 hours...so 65 hours total.

More than enough for my poor little eyeballs.

No. Weekends are for living and sleeping.

too many...does it spill into weekend hours, not if I can help but...
|

34 hours per week for work.
At home on my own projects, 3 hours per night mon-fri and then another 11 hours each weekend.
60 hours per week on average.

Probably 16-18 hours per day, including weekends and holidays.
Because I love doing this shit.

I am inclined to agree with this number in terms of "focused" on a screen. I am including smartphone, video gaming, television, and just recreational computer use to browse information. Certainly not all of those hours are "working"; those hours aren't even because "it's fun." This is just modern life. Unless you're are hiking, driving, swimming, boating or fishing, odds are that you are looking at a screen. You'll notice I left out eating; it is getting very hard to find a restaurant without TVs!

rather asking how many hours u spend checking your phone would be more in touch with the times ..for working ...there are robots , ai etc ...

Checking my phone consumes a total of less than 1 minute per day.
I use about 5 minutes per day blocking numbers from unsolicited sales calls.

I was more interested in coding and writing articles / blogs.
I'm curious how I compare with others. I find as I'm getting older that my eyes and my back are less tolerant of the developer way of life.
When I was younger 60 to 70 hours was the norm. Now, around 35 hours, and my weekend backlog of personal projects doesn't seem to get touched.

About 14 hrs/day on weekdays and 12 hrs/day on most weekends.

anywhere from 0 - 20 hours a day 2 - 7 days a week depending on the mood.
less actual work if decided to binge watch some series. (wears out the old eyeballs, none left for work.)
... reminds me, haven't done the last GOT yet.
