Does anyone know if it is possible to access Enterprise e-mail without a CAC?

I don't believe so. It asks for a CAC anytime I have ever accessed it at home.

SSG Private RallyPoint Member I do not believe so. I tried when my CAC was locked and I could get into AKO but not on the Enterprise e-mail.

Has to be done with a CAC. Whether at home or at your NG Center. The reasons your Soldier is having issues accessing is that her CAC is either expired or she entered her pin incorrectly one too many times and is locked out. I recommend that your troop contact AKO Help Desk first, in case it is just locked out. Otherwise she would need a new CAC issued.

Unfortunately no. This is becoming a problem with the part time Service, in my opinion. Fewer Soldiers in this current generation actually use personal computers. While CAC readers exist for some tablets/notebooks, they were really expensive last time I checked (Like over $200).

I find it to be a monthly struggle with my unit, especially as a senior leader and especially as we get closer to training events. I am having to bring my personal laptop to work to monitor important things put out on the dot mils. Going to a reserve center or armory is not necessarily convenient; in less populated areas such centers tend to be farther away.

OK..Im off my soapbox

You can get a CAC card reader at most PX's for like $30. You might as well, it's extremely convenient to have one...

There has to be a way. Recruiters and others access it from their phones or other such devices, don't they?
