Welcome to Nellis Air Force Base in beautiful Las Vegas, Nevada. We at Nellis have made it our priority to ensure all of our military riders have access to the tools and training necessary (free of charge) for a safe, responsible, and enjoyable ride. This site was designed to provide military riders with a central point to access the necessary information regarding motorcycle safety and training. Training on Nellis AFB is not open to the public. You must have base access.
Air Force military personnel assigned to Nellis AFB have FIRST PRIORITY to course slots, and others may attend on a space available basis (see further details below**). Two different training courses are available and are certified through the Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF). These courses are Level I - Initial Training (BRC) and Level II/Refresher Training (ARC). Click on the Courses Offered tab above, for a brief description of what the course entails and to determine which class is appropriate for you.
To sign up for a course, select the “Course Calendar” tab at the top of this page, then select the course date, and then select the web link under “description” to show how many open seats are available. If there are 0 seats available, please check the calendar for future classes that have available seats. Once you register for a class, and complete the online "ePackage 1" eCourse (for Initial Training), feel free to show up for any earlier class to see if there are any "no-show slots." Just let one of the rider coaches know that you're scheduled for a later class.
IMPORTANT NOTE: When you register for the class, you will receive an e-mail confirmation from msfsupport@msf-usa.org. If you do not receive a confirmation for your course, contact the 99 ABW Safety Office at 702-652-7602 or e-mail 99abw.se@us.af.mil. BE PROACTIVE! DO NOT WAIT UNTIL THE DAY BEFORE CLASS TO CALL.
For the BRC, approximately one week prior to class, you will be enrolled in the "ePackage 1" eCourse and will receive two separate emails: a registration confirmation; and another with their login credentials. Both emails will be delivered from the msfsupport@msf-usa.org email address. If you do not see these messages in your inbox, check your junk/spam folders. If you do not receive their confirmation and/or login credential emails, contact msfsupport@msf-usa.org and the support team will help.
**Marines, Navy, Army, Cost Guard, National Guard, retired military personnel, military dependents, DOD civilian employees, contractors, and veterans may attend on a Space-Available basis, but only through a waiting list (DO NOT SIGN UP THROUGH THE CALENDAR OR YOU WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY REMOVED WITHOUT NOTIFICATION). To get on the waiting list, email 99ABW.SE@us.af.mil with the following information:
Name (First and Last)
What your affiliation to the military is (branch of service, retired, dependent, DOD Civilian, contractor, veteran)
Class you are looking to take (BRC or ARC)
Email address
Contact number
Our office will typically contact you a week prior to the course if there is still availability.
Alternatively, if you don't mind paying a small fee, you can take the "ePackage 1" online portion of the Basic Rider Course (BRC) at your own expense, and then just show up for any BRC classes to see if there is a short-notice cancellation or a no-show slot. Just make sure to bring the eCourse completion certificate, either on paper or electronic copy. To take the ePackage1 on your own, go to https://msf-usa.org/ecourses/basic-ridercourse-epackage1/
If you have any issues, please contact your unit Motorcycle Safety Rep or email the 99 ABW Safety Office at 99ABW.SE@us.af.mil (allow 72hrs for response).
