Just arrived on post from Fort Hood, need to take the basic riders course before I can ride on post. Course I signed up for was full according to the gentleman who emailed me from the safety office. He said I could try and walk on early Monday morning but didn't give me a time or a location. If anybody could help me out I'd really appreciate it.

See if the local chapter has a website. If they do, they should have times and locations posted. If not, your provost Marshall should be able to tell you.

Don't most Military Post make you attend their MSF Course? I know that some bases were requiring a special class for those personnel that bought Sport Bikes.

I believe you’re correct, CPT Lawrence Cable, but the MSF isn’t a base course, it’s a national course,. That’s why the military uses MSF. The course you get in San Francisco is the same one you get in Boston. They are transferable from base to base so you don’t have to take the course every time you PCS. I don’t know about any special course. I took the basic 87 and the experienced and advanced courses in 92. I don’t remember if the offered any bike specific classes at that time.

SFC (Join to see) - No clue if they add anything or not, although it was my understanding the the Sport Bike one was Bike Specific. I think they started that one back when all the young guys were coming of Combat Deployments around mid 2000's with too much back pay and adrenalin. Wait, I found a the course. https://thekneeslider.com/msf-military-sportbike-rider-course/#:~:text=The%20Department%20of%20Defense%20mandates,completed%20the%20MSF%20Basic%20RiderCourse.

SFC (Join to see) - And I have had both the Basic and Advanced Course too. When I started back riding 2004 after a very long break, I decided to be smarter about this time and get trained, start with a smaller bike and work up.
My only mistake was starting with a 250cc bike. It was a fun little bike, but I bought it in October and traded it for a Honda Shadow in March of the following year.

1LT(P) (Join to see) IN 2011 the Army instituted the Motorcycle Mentorship Program https://safety.army.mil/Portals/0/Documents/OFF-DUTY/PMV-2/MMP/OVERVIEW/Standard/CSA_Signed_MMP_2011.pdf , it was encouraged to have a Motorcycle Mentor at every command level Company to installation. But was left to the units to do it as they see fit. Most I know of based their MMP off of the provided example document https://safety.army.mil/Portals/0/Documents/OFF-DUTY/PMV-2/MMP/OVERVIEW/Standard/3ID_SOP.pdf
So bottom line 1LT(P) (Join to see) your unit should have a MM, and they will be the best way to get the required commanders counseling, get locked into training, and after that a check ride.
If your 1SG or CO have not designated a MM, go see the BN S3 and find out who the other companies are, or the BN , BDE, MM is.
