So a friend of a friend is looking at getting her first bike and learning to ride. She's married to a guy on Carson but they're currently separated.
For some reason it seems to me that military and their dependents get the BRC for free, seeing as it's a requirement to ride on base, but I could be wayyyy off. So I'm looking for some input. Am I insane, or did I manage to remember something actually useful?

It's up to each installation's safety office. When I was stationed at Buckley, the base paid for the MSF Basic Rider Course for active duty only. Dependents and retirees had to pay for their own classes.
I found this Web site that says the class is free for active duty and $180 for dependents: http://www.motorcycletrainingacademy.com/military.php
How would you like to get roundhouse kicked with a motorcycle?
BRC at Fort Carson is full up for months last I checked. I ended up taking the MSF course from a local agency that was $150. To my knowledge, dependants are not paid for by the military anyway.
Here's a list of where she can go.... Either way she will have to pay. Just click on "city" and it will auto arrange by alphabetical order.
