Participation Encouraged in SAPR Survey The 2013 Navywide sexual assault survey is short and completely anonymous.

The password for all military participants is “2013SURVEY”, and the survey will be available through Jan. 6. TRIPS Software Requirement for Traveling Sailors TRIPS, a software program that assists Sailors in planning road trips, is required to be used by all active duty. All Navy users should now access TRIPS directly by visiting https://trips.safety.army.mil/navy/login.aspx. Sailors who previously accessed TRIPS through NKO should click the “Forgot your Password” link on the login screen. At the next screen, enter your current military email address and click on “submit.” An email will be sent to that address with a link so that you can enter a new password. Once this new password is established, users can then login to TRIPS at the above link from any computer. Cyber Alert/Social Engineering Attempts Against Navy Networks and Personnel Navy Cyber Defense Operations command directs all personnel to be mindful of OPSEC practices when engaging with individuals not permanently attached to their command whether that be electronically, telephonically, or in person. Adhering to strict procedures for the disclosure of network access and its components will decrease the likelihood of accidental loss of materials and network infiltration. NMCI and IT21 Help Desk personnel do not make unsolicited phone calls or use remote desktop websites to help users with computer issues. If you receive a phone call like this, hang up immediately and report the incident to your command Information Assurance Manager (IAM).
