Thanks to all of you military folks who put it on the line everyday. Wear your PPE, I do!
This has all been asked and answered. Unfortunately you may have skipped a few posts. Having been licensed to sell Life Ins. for oh about 7 yrs I can tell ya.....you are wrong. AD & D policies maybe depends on the company.

Once again and hopefully the last time and this thread will go away.

The US military used to loose a huge amount of service people every year to motorcycle accidents, well over 100/yr to fatal accidents many more to injuries. That is why they take motorcycle safety so seriously.

The Navy requires a Riders course every 3 years. This applies to all riders, Military, Dependents if they ride on Base, and DOD Civilians. No class, no Base sticker. The course is provided free of charge, and no Leave can be charged for Military, or Navy DOD Civilians.

The Navy requires all of the mentioned PPE, but at night reflective material is required, and a bright colored long sleeve shirt during the day.

From everything I read the Military is Supposed to follow the rules on and off base, but no clear answer for Navy DOD Civilians.

Region Commanders can enforce stricter rules if they want to, but most just follow CNIC Instructions on Motorcycle Safety.

As a side note, the Navy requires a Drivers Inprovement Course for young cage drivers up to 25 I believe, but only once through the class.

I did not ride during my 20 years, but would have followed the rules, just how I am I guess.

Active Duty is supposed to follow the rules on and off base 24/7. DOD civilians only when on base, once outside the gate, they are only subject to local laws.

I think you need to brush up on what you know.
