Funny Armyism MSF BRC


I would be taking those courses every couple of years if they were free. I imagine you also get paid you normal pay while doing the "safety training"? You should be on that like white on rice.

Waiting on "approval for training" and actually having the time as training takes a back seat unless it's required!
 

90% of what government does is stuff it has no business doing.

Yep. We're required to do 1 class at least every 5 years, but I do them more often than that mixing up ERC/ARC (expect and advanced riders course, MSRC (military sport bike riders course), and the various other more advanced training we do (similar to track day events, but no unlimited top speed).

It's viewed as a force preservation measure, keep soldiers from dying on bikes, save money and manpower already invested. Given how bad some riders are, I fully endorse the program.
 

I agree, when I retired in 1992 the Navy in San Diego was taking a hard look at all of the squids getting greased on their sportbikes and started offering classes and eventually made them mandatory prior to getting a base sticker. I fully endorse them also. Hell, they go on deployment and come home with too much money and head down to the bike shop to get the fastest one they can find, never ridden before most of them.

Some branches of the military require it every three years, big concerns with the amount of serious accidents and deaths amoung military personal riding bikes, now as a MSF instructor I think no I know the BRC training could be a lot harder in fact it is comical how easy it is to get your motorcycle license in this country.

Last month we had an 18year old airman take the BRC class and during the introduction part he informed us he really needs his license as he is buying his friends turbo boosted Hybusa and this is a guy who had never even sat on a bike before.
