- Hi, I'm Garrison Command
Sergeant Major Jerry Dodson.

00:03.410 --> 00:06.060
With me today are Command
Sergeant Major Brad Owens

00:06.060 --> 00:08.120
and Command Sergeant Major Steve Campbell.

00:08.120 --> 00:09.680
May is motorcycle safety month,

00:09.680 --> 00:11.840
but it's always a great time
to renew your commitment

00:11.840 --> 00:13.380
to motorcycle safety.

00:13.380 --> 00:15.300
- I've been riding for a number of years,

00:15.300 --> 00:18.110
learning new techniques
and safety measures.

00:18.110 --> 00:20.440
For our re-deploying
soldiers who've been living

00:20.440 --> 00:23.360
on an adrenaline rush
for the last nine months,

00:23.360 --> 00:25.163
be safe, and stay safe.

00:26.180 --> 00:29.316
Our Army has lost a number of
soldiers riding motorcycles

00:29.316 --> 00:33.050
due to in-discipline, excessive speed,

00:33.050 --> 00:35.980
and lack of personal protective equipment.

00:35.980 --> 00:38.690
- That's why the Motorcycle
Safety Foundation course

00:38.690 --> 00:41.050
is not only mandatory, it's a great place

00:41.050 --> 00:42.810
to meet fellow riders.

00:42.810 --> 00:46.190
You'll find friendship,
motorcycle mentorship,

00:46.190 --> 00:48.270
and confidence in your abilities.

00:48.270 --> 00:50.160
Remember, just because you're off duty

00:50.160 --> 00:52.000
doesn't mean you're off the hook.

00:52.000 --> 00:54.620
A soldier is a soldier, 24/7.

00:54.620 --> 00:57.680
You're held to the standard
every minute of every day.

00:57.680 --> 01:00.310
- Remember, Army safe is Army strong,

01:00.310 --> 01:02.407
not just in May, but year 'round.
