Frequently asked questions about the new access policy
Which ID should be used?
Federal employees and military personnel will only use their CAC. Contractors with computer access will also
use their CAC. Contractors or vendors without CACs will need to obtain the new NCACS (RAPIDGate) ID
card (or opt for using a one-day pass).
How does this affect Military retiree, dependent ID's or other DOD ID's?
There is no change for these other ID's. They continue to provide access when being used for the purposes of
which they were given.
Will anything need to be done differently at the gates?
Driver's of all vehicles need to roll down their window and have their CAC or NCACS ID (or pass with photo
ID) ready for inspection by the gate sentry.
What about perimeter turnstile access?
Personnel walking onto the installation via a turnstile will also be required to have either a CAC or NCACS ID
but they will need to continue utilizing the NAVSEA badge to operate the turnstile until a time when the perim-
eter turnstiles can be converted to CAC & NCACS. Periodic / random checks of pedestrians at turnstiles to have
the CAC or NCACS will be implemented.
What about new employees or contractors who have just registered but have not yet received their CAC or
NCACS ID?
Contractors will be given a 28 day temp pass when they register with NCACS to be used until that ID arrives.
Same type pass will be issued for new govt employees who have not yet received their CAC.

CI Make-up Briefings at NNSY on Oct. 18 and 19
Submitted by Linda Williams, NNSY Security Specialist
Per SECNAV M-5510.30A Chapter 4, page 4-7 Para 4-9, a Counterintelligence Briefing (CI) is required annu-
ally. All personnel who have access to material classified as SECRET or ABOVE must be given the brief by a
Naval Criminal Investigative (NCIS) Agent.
NNSY’s Counterintelligence (CI) Briefing make-up sessions will be held on Oct. 18 and 19 in the Command
Briefing Room (CBR) located in Building 1500, 1st floor. There will be 4 sessions each day at 0900, 1030, 1300
and 1430 each session is expected to last approximately 45 minutes. If you went in May of this year, you DO
NOT have to attend again. These will be the last CI Briefings held at NNSY for this year.
Come at least 15 minutes early so we can get everyone signed in before the meeting begins and bring your
SHIPYARD BADGE, NOT YOUR CAC BADGE.
Parking is extremely limited, therefore make appropriate arrangements. Parking will be available in Parking
Lot I across in front of bldg 1500. Follow the signs that say “CI Briefing Parking Lot I.”
THIS IS A MANDATORY BRIEFING! This briefing is required to maintain your Level of clearance. Failure
to attend will cause your security clearance to be downgraded to CONFIDENTIAL.
If NNSY personnel want or need to attend at other bases, below is a list of dates and times held at other loca-
tions. If someone attends at the below locations, they need to send to their Department Security Coordinator
(DSC) their code the date, time, place and name of the NCIS Agent that gave the brief. The DSC will pass this
information to Linda S. Williams, Security.
Anyone who cannot attend due to Temporary Duty (TDY), will have to make arrangements with an NCIS Agent
at the location of their TDY and than contact their DSC of the date, time, place and name of the NCIS Agent that
gave the brief.

FAQs, cont’d from page 2
What changes for CIA access?
Nothing changes for CIA access. The NAVSEA shipyard badge is still required for all personnel entering and
must be displayed at al times while inside. The CIA turnstiles will continue to be operated with the NAVSEA
shipyard badge. The NAVSEA badges are not changing. Requests for badges will still be sent to pass office.
Why is this change taking place?
The purpose of this change is to improve overall Navy security as it will provide a standard way to check all
personnel coming onto Navy bases.

NNSY’s Federal Women’s Program observes Breast Cancer Awareness Month
In observance of October being National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, NNSY’s Federal Women’s Program
(FWP) is asking that all breast cancer survivors at Norfolk Naval Shipyard contact Frieda McCray by Oct. 7 at
396-7702 or frieda.mccray@navy.mil so FWP can honor you.
Also, join the NNSY Federal Women’s Program Committee on Oct. 21 in celebrating Pink Out Day. We are
asking ALL shipyard and tenant activity employees to wear something pink. Show your colors in support of
Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Several women of NNSY’s IT Department (Code
1230) recently joined forces to design an entry
for the 2011 Macarthur Mall Bra-Ha-Ha, a
fundraising program designed to provide free
mammograms and heighten awareness about
breast cancer. The participants brainstormed
an idea for a shipyard-themed bra, in patriotic
colors and designed with Navy memorabilia,
that will be on display at MacArthur Mall this
month.“The crane is a symbol of the shipyard
and the chains provide the support to woman
who have/had breast cancer. The bra represents
the strength and the beauty of the women of
the shipyard friends and family. Additionally, it
represents our compassion, commitment, and
support to our co-workers and shipmates, moth-
ers, sisters, daughters, aunts, nieces, cousins,
and friends, who are survivors,” said April Beck- Participants, from left to right are, Stephanie Warren, Michelle Green,
