1. Why do you need me or my military sponsor's Social Security Number? - Top

We request your Social Security Number (SSN), during the registration process only to authenticate who you are. The information is used solely to verify that you are authorized to have a VBO Community Member account. You or your sponsor's SSN will be stored with your account when it is created, but it is not shared with any other agency or organization, it is not part of your user name, and it is used only as a discriminator during multiple identity instances. - Updated: April 29, 2005

2. Is the information I submit on the Registration Form Secure? - Top

Security during registration is protected using a 128-bit Secure Socket Layer (SSL) connection. This is the highest industry standard and establishes an encrypted session between your computer and the VBO Registration System. We use the same technology that other major companies operating on the World Wide Web (WWW) use to protect personal information and guard against identity theft. Look for the little yellow padlock at the bottom of your browser window to ensure that you have established a secure connection. There are no alternate means of registration as this is the most secure method of protecting your information. - Updated: March 27, 2005

3. Can I access the new user tutorial before my first logon? - Top
