Really. It was the USAF that required me to take a MSF course to be able to ride a motorcycle on base back in the 80's. You know el mandatory lol. The military in fact made it mandatory to wear a seat belt on base way before our civilian counterpart made it he law of the land. Congrats.

your post could be taken two ways ... either you think riding on base is safe and no fear of getting busted (if so, you are most likely iincorrect).... or you cannot afford to get busteed on your base due to the punative factors they have for military folk breakin the law .... anyways, back in the 90s my base made us take the MSF, mandated insurance in order to get the DoD sticker and made us wear a reflective vest.

Congrats on being legal!

If I was a new rider, I would be very careful, and make sure I capitalized God. Remember he may be a vengeful God, and new riders are easy prey. Ride your own ride, and don't feel pressure to go fast, until you are comfortable. Good luck.
