The purpose of this counseling is to inform you the requirements for motorcycle safety and licensing requirements. Per Brigade Commander's Guidance, the Company Commander will visually inspect each rider's motorcycle (to include DoD decal), drivers license, and motorcycle training certificates. Each motorcycle rider will be required to complete the basic motorcycle course upon notification. Riders are highly encouraged to complete the advanced rider's course. Army motorcycle riders are responsible for wearing personal protective equipment (PPE) both on and off post. Soldiers that fail to wear PPE off-post and are in an accident will be subject to a line of duty investigation and possibly not receive SGLI or medical benefits from an accident. Higher visible PPE is preferred. Required PPE is a helmet that meets the Department of Transportation requirements, eye protection, jacket, pants, gloves, boots. Rain suits are not required, but highly encouraged in the event of adverse weather conditions. At all times assess your skill level and those that you are riding with. If the other riders are more skilled and experienced, do not attempt to keep up with other riders. Ensure that you remove DoD decals and return to the post Provost Marshall in the event that you sell your motorcycle. In the event that you identify other motorcycle riders in the unit, notify your chain of command. Motorcycles are a safe form of transportation if we take the appropriate actions in ensuring safety and being responsible. Ensure that your motorcycle fits your body and the intent of its use. As with all forms of transportation, drinking and driving will not be tolerated. Those found guilty of drinking and driving will receive a General Memorandum of Reprimand in their permanent file. If you are a licensed motorcycle rider, but do not own a motorcycle, all of the above applies if you ride a motorcycle that belongs to someone else.
NCOSchool has grown to a point we could have never expected. It was not designed to handle this amount of traffic and has reached its limits as to what we can do with the site. After careful consideration we have decided that its best to simply start over... from scratch.
