Military forces have the toughest job to defend and serve our country and deserve the up-most respect. They also deserve to have the best recreation events and most enriching use of their down time, which contributes to the retention, readiness, mental, physical, and emotional well-being of our Military.
The MWR — Morale, Welfare and Recreation — Divisions already administer a varied program of recreation, social and community support activities on U.S. facilities worldwide, providing active-duty, reserve and retired military personnel and their families with sports and physical fitness activities, child development and youth programs, arts and crafts, performing arts and a variety of food and beverage services. Can they do more? What would enable MWR to offer a larger variety of events and better utilization of existing military facilities?
No other space can accommodate multiple activities as well as the gymnasium. Many military bases, countrywide and worldwide, organize concerts or small theater productions using their gymnasium space. For most gym custodians the thought of having hundreds of soldiers’ boots on the shiny hardwood gym floor leaving rubber and scratch marks is devastating. That is why Military gyms use Covermaster gym floor covers to prevent damage to their facilities while extending the flexibility of social events. Covermaster helped not only internal bases, but also the international NATO school in Belgium and U.S. bases in Germany, Japan, Korea, and currently supports our troops in the Middle East.
Different divisions, like the Marines, Air Force, Navy, Army and Coast Guard, can easily convert their gym floors to accommodate concerts, holiday celebrations, establish a place of worship or even accommodate a large number of people by converting their gym to the sleeping area. Military specialists are trained to defend and protect, therefore, protecting their floors and tax payers’ money invested in their facilities comes naturally.
Flooring materials have the greatest impact on user satisfaction. You usually select high performance wood floors that utilize neoprene shock pads for impact absorption to reduce injuries while maintaining near perfect ball return characteristics. Maple floors are the industry standard, but a wide variety of appearance grades are possible. Covermaster gym floor covers are specifically designed to help Military bases take care of their gyms effortlessly and use their facilities to the maximum.
The good ideas of MWR professionals at Military installations around the world are the driving force behind the successful MWR programs and services. Great MWR decisions keep MWR important and relevant to soldiers and their families. MWR purchasing division can easily contact Covermaster and use the existing General Services Administration (GSA) contract to request a proposal. We will help you with the supporting documentation to demonstrate the need for the product.
