Different bases have different rules. The different services do to. The DoD reg can always be tightened, after all, either at the service, command, or unit level.
For instance, Camp Pendleton requires that you either take the basic MSF course every year, or the advanced course every two years. That kind of sucks. And, about once a year, right after a sport biker or two high-sides into eternity, they institute a 100% check for MSF cards at all gates.
But, however often you have to take it as directed by the local command, you have to be given the opportunity to take it for free, and during regular duty hours. That applies for DoD civilians--although not contractors--as well.
DoD reg 6055.4 http://www.js.pentagon.mil/whs/direc...df/605504p.pdfjust says you have to complete the course. Maybe the Army or Ft. Campbell has a more restrictive supplement? I've been in the Air Force 16 1/2 years and have had 5 different PCS's and I've only had to take the course one time.
Air Force?? What is that?? a sub division of the Army?
Here at the Military Center of the Universe, Fort Bragg, N.C. the MSF safety course is free and they certify you Skills Practice Riders Course and Skills Plus Riders Course. Once you get the card it is good to go with no expiration. The post Decals aregood as long as they are not faded or damaged.
Come to Okinawa and that will change. Very strict here.
The only thing that Bragg has going for it is the "Wid Tunnel". Other than thatit aint the center for *****.
