I cannot wait the 48 hours it will take to get a password through the JKO. I don't care if my records are tracked. I don't want to get an account through Army Knowledge Online because I am in the Air Force, or Navy, or I am not in the military at all. I will not be attending DSCA Phase II Resident Course. I just need to get the certificate immediately for some other requirement. What do I do?
