Just a heads up:
FYI,
IMPORTANT: Disregard any email you might receive which instructs you to
change your CAC pin (See below).
There is no such requirement and this email is a scam. Please just delete
any email you receive with the subject: IMMEDIATE ACTION REQUIRED: CAC PIN length increases

Subject: IMMEDIATE ACTION REQUIRED: CAC PIN length increases
Recent world events have uncovered a potential weakness in DoD Common Access
Card (CAC) security systems using a PIN length of less than 10 digits.
Therefore a new requirement has been established that calls for PIN length
to be at least 10 digits and no more than 14 digits.
Security systems DoD wide will begin imposing the new restriction on
10-FEB-2011. In order to handle the high volume of CAC PIN resets, an
automated CAC PIN Reset site has been stood up.
Please log in to <<website link deleted>> immediately and establish your new
PIN with the increased length requirement.
NOTE: If you fail to establish your new PIN before the new restrictions are
imposed, you will need to visit a CAC issuance location before you will be
able to access the network.
