Very interesting info, Thanks for the post!

[Staczse7]

hmmm... well i dunno when it will take place however, as I went to get a new I.D. on Thursday and lo and behold my SSN was in its glory on the back.

[just_cause, BSN, RN]

...just another incentive not to misplace it

[Staczse7]

ha! actually the reason I got a new i.d. was because after installing the CAC reader, it didnt work......mainly because whoever inputted the info to begin with assigned me the wrong email address....so the CAC couldnt register on AKO etc.

Now its all fixed and i'm able to log into AKO etc. w/out having to type in that 14 digit password.

Moral of the story: make sure ALL info is correct because it can cause errors.
