| | An Introduction to MILNET | | |
| | | | |
| |_____________________________________| | |
| : :Introduction: : | |
| First of all MILNET is a system used by branches of the military for | |
| unclassified communications. MILNET produces that infamous TAC login xxx. TAC | |
| MILNET is run out of the University of Southern California. USC is the ISI | |
| master dial up. I would also like to point out that the Department of Defense | |
| tends to frown on people browsing through there system. With that in mind, | |
| here is a basic overview of MILNET operations. | |
| : :Logging On: : | |
| MILNET can be reached over through the "nets" or can be directly connected | |
| to by dialing 1-800-368-2217 or 213-306-1366. The later is the ISI master dial | |
| up. Most military bases connect through the 800 dial up owned by AT&T. | |
| ISIE MASTER LOGON PROCEDURE | |
| ---------------------------- | |
| 1> call 213-306-1366 | |
| 2> when the phone stops ringing you are connected | |
| 3> enter location number (9 digits) + 1 or 0 | |
| 4> hang up and it will call you | |
| 5> pick up the phone and hit the '*' on your phone | |
| 6> hit a carriage return on the computer | |
| 7> at the 'what class?' prompt hit RETURN | |
| 8> then a 'go' prompt will appear and log on as you would the 800 number. | |
| MILNET LOGIN PROCEDURE | |
| ----------------------- | |
| > When you first connect you will see: | |
| 'WELCOME TO DDN. FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY.TAC LOGIN | |
| CALL NIC 1-800-235-3155 FOR HELP | |
| WRPAT TAC 113 #:36 | |
| > the person logging on types: | |
| @o 1/103 | |
| YOU ALWAYS TYPE @o then other connections are: | |

| ISID 10:0/27 | |
| ISIE 1/103 (THE EXAMPLE) | |
| ISIF 2/103 | |
| VAX A 10:2/27 | |
| > Next you will see a 'USER-ID' prompt. The first 4 characters vary but it is | |
| is always followed by a '-' and what ever connection you choose. | |
| User-Id: (example) CER5-ISIE or MRW1-ISIE | |
| > The first three letters are the initials of the user followed by a random | |
| number (1-9). | |
| Access Code: (example) 2285UNG6A or 22L8KK5CH | |
| > An access code will never contain a ( 1, 0, G, Z). | |
| @ USERNAME + PASSWORD IE USERNAME SAC.512AREFW-LGTO | |
| THE USERNAME EXPLANATION: | |
| ------------------------- | |
| The first 3 letters in the example given above are SAC. This stands for | |
| Strategic Air Command, a branch of the Air Force. Following that is a "." | |
| Then the unit number and the prime mission. In this case 512AREFW", (512th | |
| AIR REFUELING WING). Then a '-' and the Individual Squadron name 'LGTO' | |
| (LOGISTICS GROUND TRANSPORTATION OPERATIONS), a fancy name for the motor pool. | |
| The password will not be echoed back and should be entered after the | |
| username. The new user password as a default is: NEW-UZER-ACNT. | |
