**Special Note:
CDC is having problems registering applicants into the online system due to internal firewalls that is blocking them from registering and receiving receipts and confirmations. In order for CDC to complete their own registrations, the on-line process will have to be completed on a private/personal computer or they will have to be sent to the BIG registration team for processing.
DOD is having problems receiving confirmations and system generated receipts due to them going through a major change affecting their email addresses. Confirmations and receipts are generated immediately, therefore, we are notifying the individuals that we process to inform us if receipts have not been received within an hour so that we can request one be emailed to them separately.
