On February 16, 2018 as part of the Motorcycle Mentorship Program (MMP), Marines conducted level three motorcycle safety training. For this advanced ride Marines: received a brief and discussed specific motorcycle handling techniques, conducted pre-ride inspections, took a local ride to practice the specific motorcycle handling techniques, returned to debrief the techniques, received additional training, and then conducted a longer ride that exercised all the discussed techniques. The MMP is designed to capitalize on the riding experience of mature, seasoned riders and to share that knowledge with other riders. Pictured from left to right: Mr. Jerry Roeder, GySgt Alfred Negron, SSgt Zach Weatherwax.
