This is NOT an official Army-sanctioned webpage. This is just an NCO trying to help other Soldiers out. Whatever my opinions are on here are not to be considered the opinions of the Army, or even considered fact. All information presented should be double-checked with your CLPM and Retention NCO/Recruiter, or double-checked in the Army Regulation or message provided. Despite my best efforts and collaboration with other NCOs, I am sometimes wrong and you shouldn't base your enlistment/re-enlistment solely on what I have to say, but rather use this information as a base for your research.

Set up a CaC on your computer (Windows, Mac, or iOS)

Many of the links and information provided on this blog require that you have a CaC reader installed on your computer. Whether this is to sign a form to submit to your commander to take the DLAB/DLPT, log in to view MILPER messages, or simply check your email in AKO or Outlook Web Access, you need a CaC.

This is the best website I have found that shows you how to set it up on your computer: www.militarycac.com

Additionally, I have recently discovered that Thursby Software makes an iOS CaC reader! I am now up and running with my CaC on my iPad and iPhone.

  1. Thanks for the mention. We're coming to Android next month also...

    It's been eight years since Apple asked to harden the Mac for DoD use...

    Uno, dos, tres. Un, deux, trois. Uno, duo, tres. Ek, do, tin. Eka, dvi, tri. From English, to Spanish, French, Latin, Hindi and Sanskrit, the same meanings are expressed in various outward ways. We try to do the same for CAC, with device, OS, card and authentication method agnosticism but the same core features.

  2. Absolutely. Feel free to mention this blog as recommending your products. I know at least a few people who have bought it because of me as well. It's working great for me.
