26. To all:
The following OPSEC Alert was
distributed by the Army G-2 Office.
This is an OPSEC Alert concerning the 23 April
2013 issue of Forbes Magazine. Selected copies
of the magazine contain a Microsoft Office 365
campaign ad/promotion with a wireless hotspot.
The obvious concern is wittingly or unwittingly
bringing one of these magazines into a secure
area and the inherent dangers involved with hav-
ing this transceiver powered on. Bringing a wire-
less transceiver into a secure area (wittingly or
unwittingly) is a security violation. Please be
aware of what items/devices you are carrying
with you when entering a secure area.
As a side-note, no wireless enabled devices
should be taken into any areas processing classi-
fied information without prior approval from
proper authorities. If you have any questions
contact your supporting organization's communi-
cations or security personnel.
Regards,
Mr. Charles W. Hamberger Jr.

28. Need a Dig Permit, STOP and Read below!
Everyone Needs a Dig Permit. Whether you want to install satellite TV, plant a tree, or planning Sergeant’s Time
training, , field exercise or displays for Mountain Peak. FIRST EVERYONE IS REQUIRED TO OBTAIN AN EX-
CAVATION PERMIT. Everyone needs to follow the correct process for obtaining a dig permit on Fort Drum. It
could save your life and the lives of your family and friends. Just follow these three (3) simple steps and you
can’t go wrong.
1st
Step: Call 1-800-962-7962 to obtain a Dig Safely Number, the “Dig Safely Number” is required in order to
submit a request for a Dig Permit.
2nd
Step: For those that have access to a Government computer, log onto the website: https://
mapsrus.drum.army.mil and click on the WEPS Tab. After the WEPS program has loaded, click on “Request a
Permit” to begin. If you don’t have access to a government computer, don’t worry, we can help you. Please visit
one of our three Self-Service Kiosks located in buildings on South Post at either; 4004 First St. ( Intersection
First St and Ontario Ave), 4894 Nininger St., and 4890 Nininger St (Entry to both are located off of Ontario Ave
and George St across from Range Control . The Kiosks are available to the customers during the hours of 0730-
1530 hours.
3rd
Step: Once you have submitted your Dig Permit, Your permit will be reviewed by 16 different agencies to
ensure compliance with their individual safety guidelines. The Approving Authorities have 10 Business Days to
review, mark out utilities and either approve or disapprove a permit. It is important that you enter a working email
address because this is the only way you will be notified on the progress of your permit request. Once a judg-
ment has been rendered on your permit, it will be posted to the WEPS site. The WEPS program will generate a
total of 18 emails per permit. These are notification emails on the progress of your permit. You are not required
to print or keep them. If you do not receive the email notifications, you are then responsible for checking the
WEPS site periodically to see if your permit status has been updated. Once your permit has been approved, you
must print out a copy and have it available at your excavation site. Questions or issues in submitting your dig
permits should be directed to Mr. Doug Osborne, Chief of Master Planning/GIS Branch at 772-5709 or Ms.
Melissa Rumble, WEPS Administrator & Dispatcher/Utilities Branch at 772-5495, Extension 2.
