00:02.820 --> 00:05.130
- I'm MC1 Preston and here's
some news you can use.

00:05.130 --> 00:06.670
If you lost your common access card

00:06.670 --> 00:07.950
or it's about to expire,

00:07.950 --> 00:09.210
gone are the days when you can head

00:09.210 --> 00:10.960
into the ID office for a new one.

00:10.960 --> 00:12.480
With the outbreak of the coronavirus,

00:12.480 --> 00:15.030
these offices are no longer
available for walk-ins,

00:15.030 --> 00:17.870
and the waiting areas are closed
to large groups of people.

00:17.870 --> 00:20.880
The ID offices will only
issue or reissue CAC cards

00:20.880 --> 00:22.890
to those who have a scheduled appointment.

00:22.890 --> 00:25.010
That includes those who lost your cards.

00:25.010 --> 00:26.240
You won't be able to get a new one

00:26.240 --> 00:28.030
until you have an appointment.

00:28.030 --> 00:30.080
While some will find this
to be an inconvenience,

00:30.080 --> 00:31.820
officials say this is a necessary move

00:31.820 --> 00:34.400
to battle COVID-19 and keep sailors,

00:34.400 --> 00:37.430
their families and the
civilian staff safe.

00:37.430 --> 00:39.170
If you lost you CAC, need a new one

00:39.170 --> 00:41.050
or just have to get a new pin reset,

00:41.050 --> 00:43.590
call your local ID office
and make an appointment.

00:43.590 --> 00:47.090
You can find out more at NAVADMIN 097/20.
