Ok so i'm positive everyone has walked through at LEAST one CF base gym, and seen the huge wall with pictures of all the CF sports Hall of Famers....i've stood there before checking out what some of them won awards for or competed in, and it surprises me GREATLY what I see, things ranging from the OBVIOUS (and over emphasized) long distance running, track events, fencing, weightlifting, boxing, hockey (surprising?) football, basketball and MANY others.
What i'm wondering is WHY we don't have nearly as many sports available NOW in the CF as was 30+ yrs ago.
I've been looking forever, to find something besides Tae Kwon Do (eww) in the combatives area and there's nothing else I can find. No weightlifting anymore, i've seen a plaque on the gym about a powerlifting competition here in Pet, but from the looks of it they haven't had one in a couple years.
I know this comes off as a rant, but i'd also like to do like as some other soldiers and get to do ( maybe compete) in sports I enjoy through the military. Yet the only teams i've heard of here in Pet, are the base soccer team, Coy running team and the Ironman. None of which are up my alley. Running in general does not interest me so i'm for sure not going to compete in it. This base is running crazed!
