Always a good move to train, and another good move P/R-wise...
But I find it questionable that they'd actually "teach" a newbie on a deck that is not only wet, but also moving with the waves... and is there Really enough room to teach them about hard braking, U-turns and Figure-8's... and I thought safety vests are required when riding on any military installation?
I also think the shots on the carrier deck were taken as a PR move and that the real classes are held elsewhere.
Where's the fun in that? Wouldn't it be a hit for the ages if a newby rider rode right off the end of the carrier deck? A scene right out of a Wile E. Coyote and Roadrunner cartoon.
... launching a slow learner off the deck would provide some effective motivation.
Maybe they are practicing their "had to lay it down" move .

Of which any cruiser rider worth his leather vest will tell you is a valuable skill to learn.
Stereotype much?
Well, as many instructors - wait, they're coaches now - .
I was under the impression that motorcycle training is mandatory in the military for those who ride motorcycles on or off base. Currently, it's the MSF BRC course, which is the same as the H-D course from what I know. I also know Total Control (who recently took over the state program for California instead of MSF) has recently won the contract with the US Navy to provide training to their personnel.
I'm not sure if they have to pay for it out of pocket or not. If they do, then this could be a good encouragement to get people riding who didn't want to pay for the course.
