The answer

One must repent to Allah the Almighty for abandoning prayers and for working in an army where prayer is forbidden and those who pray are punished, unless the person is coerced into it. This army is more wicked than the Tatar army, which Sheikh Al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah described as having the majority of its members not praying, lacking muezzins or imams, and that those who joined them were among the most evil of creation. All missed prayers must be made up.
