    Turks & Caicos to Canada? (merged)

    And that's different from pretty much HALF the current postings in Canada how??  Most postings now have dismal opportunities for jobs for spouses/dependents (even with post-secondary schooling) and a lot aren't much better when it comes to leisure...yet we aren't shutting any of those down...

    Anyone else have other sports they'd like to see either introduced or RE-introduced? on another note,  I have a meeting with PSP rec about the club, and they will be helping out a little with the paperwork, so definitely moving in the right direction!

    I'm def not a SME of Track and Field hence why I haven't tried to run one, but it is a good idea, everything I have suggested up through my CoC has either not been answered or outright shot down.  at least 4-6 months ago I sent a memo up for a Coy or Bn level strength challenge (strongman light...

    I don't see how me not being a hockey player, soccer player, or basketball player,etc = me not wanting to do the team sports thing... I've already said before i've played team sports competitively before, my interests lie elsewhere but I have nothing against them.  I don't think you would have...

    I'm really not trying to play dumb or anything, just trying to understand the logic of using provincial level judges/refs for a small time most likely non-sanctioned (by the Canadian Track and field association) competition, I mean its not like anyone could have qualified for nationals at the...

    Oh I totally know there's a problem within my Pl, but i'm not in a position to change anything, unless I had some kind of official recourse.  The line we're fed is work is more important then anything else...UNLESS its a Bde/Bn/Coy ruck march or something along those lines. I guess I should...

    Conversely we all know people who can run like the wind but can't do a push-up or pullup to save their lives. I totally agree that balance needs to be stricken between work capabilities and sports capabilities, I also 150% agree with your first paragraph. I'm not only advocating we support high...

    The thing with that is it is very dependant on where you live, like i've pointed out before in Pet, if you're not into running, hockey, soccer and volleyball...you basically need to drive all the way to Ottawa (at the nearest!) for any other competitions, I don't even want to think about what...

    You are saying what I am saying, but in addition to it, i'm also saying base sports should be more then just hockey, ect... hence my example with boxing when each base and/or unit had a champ/representative. I'm not saying only the elite should be catered to, although I do think military...

    Actually I have no plans to go sar/csor/jtf2...I mentioned those units in a point I made never alluding at any time that, that is where I plan on going, which in case you missed it again since you missed A LOT in the entire thread: I am not planning to tryout for any of these units, I do have...

    Are we in the same military? Most bases are near major population centers i.e cities?  (if that's not what you meant I apologise, that's how I understood it) I would say probably half of the installations are in the sticks, To show what I mean: Gagetown, Aldershot, Petawawa, Meaford, Shilo...

    Pretty much the only sports I ever hear about are softball, hockey ice and ball, soccer and volleyball, you also cannot forget the point you made for me...runs, there's all kinds of military runs, and that's about it. As far as satiating everyone's appetite for sports I'm telling you that it in...

    I have to ask if that's sarcasm or if those "courses" have actually happened to you? Before I got in, after having watched to many military themed movies, I thought the military put an emphasis on fitness and sports, etc...in my time in i've come to realize they don't care, they are okay with...

    I totally agree that there would be some minimal expenditures, but lets be honest money gets spent already on all kinds of silly stuff. Not only does it help the morale, it also connects us with others in the military as others have pointed out, but further then that it also connects us to...

    Mods feel free to move this if it is not In the right place. Apologies for any spelling errors I'm on my smartphone. I walked through the base gym here and see plaques honouring military athletes from decades ago, varied interests ranging from traditional military things such as shooting...

    Long term job satisfaction in the Canadian Forces?

    People are probably going to think i'm an a$$ but I have to. Having been in the CF close to a decade now, and having been in fitness for even longer, I can push-ups is probably one of the most BUTCHERED exercises ever, especially by military. At PT probably 80% do them wrong and do head bobs...

    Fitness for Operational Requirements of CAF Employment ( FORCE )

    I don't get the point of having TWO endurance/stamina based chest/pushing tests.  If you've already got push ups, why do bench at such a light weight for reps, either eliminate it, or get smart and go for max weight.
