Cant compare a military gym to a regular gym. Ive been to military gyms all over (Norfolk, Cherry Point, Great Lakes etc etc) in the military and nine times out of ten everyone in the gym has no idea what they are doing and they are generally out of shape.The military in general is an immature social club to begin with, so to combine it with a masculine sport like body building/power lifting you tend to get people that become very jealous. Glad to be a civilian again.
