 Summer may be coming to a close, but safety is still a concern. Whether you're riding your motorcycle or playing Pokemon Go, you should always keep safety in mind. Last summer, 26 sailors and marines lost their lives while participating in recreational activities including riding a motorcycle or hiking. If you're outdoor swimming or preparing for your next PRT, be mindful of the weather forecast and be sure to stay hydrated. While riding your motorcycle may be fun, you must make sure you're qualified to ride. The Navy's Motorcycle Safety Campaign aims to prevent injuries and train sailors on the importance of proper riding techniques and safety gear. Even the most seasoned riders can miss minor defects in safety gear and routine maintenance. To sign up for the basic rider course, visit the Navy Motorcycle Rider website. To keep the rest of your summer safe, visit the Navy Safety Center website.
