    BRC help

    I've used the search button, probably not to the best of its ability, and couldn't find anything.

    I know some of you are MSF instructors and what not and I was looking for any recomendations as where to go to take the BRC.

    I plan on going sometime this summer when I come home, back to the Lowellish area, on my two weeks leave, if possible. I was wondering if some places were more thorough than others and/or more tolerant of someone whos never riden before.

    Also any tips, suggestions, prior on my own homework or reading/studying material to help me out you could recommend would greatly be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    what theres no course in Iraq????!? man, where are the PRIORITIES over there!

    where are you coming home to, then maybe we can suggest a good spot.

    oh and as another military person, my base has a BRC they are making me take, so i wonder if when you get shifted back stateside they will have a course for you at your base too.

    Re: BRC help

    Unfortunaly no Courses here, as cool as it would be with nothing else to do.

    I should be homesleeping in my own bed and crapping in my own toilet by halloween, we hope.

    I'm in the Reserves so no post to go home to although I can take it at Hanscom, those free classes fill up real quick. Since I don't know the actual dates that I'm getting for my leave, I have to pick a time frame in a couple days most likely June or July, I'd much rather pay for the course and be able to get a definate class. A small investment in the pursuit of fun and happiness is worth it.

    This would be awesome. If you do I'll buy you a beer.

    Once I'm done with my reports I'm going to send them an email to see whats up.

    Re: BRC help

    Thanks. I'm looking into Ironstone as oVTo and noxin suggested, since they have classes close to me, plus if Doc can get me into one at Hanscom that would be a plus. If not I'll still most likely go with them because of the mentioned reason.

    I've been trolling the forums awhile and read that you were getting your Instructor Cert. good luck with that and have fun. Maybe I'll get into one of your classes if you get to have anything this summer.
