The Bliss of DISS—Part 2!

It is time to start using DISS, & FSO PRO is here to help!

Maybe you don’t attend as many SVAs or Continuous Monitoring meetings as we do, but DCSA is still making it pretty clear, they want FSOs to start migrating to DISS more and more.

They have already removed the RRU feature from JPAS on May 30, replaced by CSRs in DISS which puts us in Phase 2 (not COVID phases— DISS phases—see chart):

FSO PRO thanks all the FSOs out there for everything you do to keep the warfighter safe. Even the smallest task is designed to keep our nation’s information out of the hands of those who would do harm. We, as FSOs, are doing our part to stay vigilant and determined to protect those who protect us, even in our own small way.

That is why we say how awesome you are. And thank you.
