Athletes
Athletes affiliated with one of the military sports bodies receive a rank and salary equivalent to servicemen. They also receive basic military training, although the majority of their training is sport-specific and usually takes place in one of the military sports centers. 194 of the 290 athletes that represented Italy at the 2012 Summer Olympics belonged to a military sports body.[1]
Corpi Sportivi
The Corpi Sportivi (military sports bodies), in Italy are affiliated with Italian National Olympic Committee (CONI).[2]

gollark: There's the optional ***GAME MODE*** keyboard, which messes up keypresses at random.
gollark: About the same as on regular CC - not great! It doesn't impede it.
gollark: PotatOS also has an automated recycle bin - deleted files go there instead of being deleted.
gollark: No, there's ctrl+T.
gollark: PotatOS can also be good for testing possibly dangerous code, as it is sandboxed so that if your code is doing EVILNESS you can just disable its ability to run automatically on boot and, er, reboot.
