Eservices username?

I just noticed I have one when I looked up my "general info".  A new data field to the right of my member number I never noticed before.

I don't use it for anything, are they implementing something new?

It could very well be for non- member access.  Like HQ folks who aren't members.

I have data in that field, and it is usable for logging in vice the CAPID.

[Holding Pattern]

It's been there since 2013 at least, and yes, you can use that in place of your CAPID to log in.

Huh. I suppose I have seen it there before and just sort of never paid close attention to it.

I can't remember seeing it before.  Only reason for having that would be to setup a national level email standard, even if it was just a forward.  I doubt anyone is going to use my CAP ID for identity theft purposes.

Only reason? Really. Colonel Ninness provided the most logical reason - non-member access at NHQ. None of the paid employees are members, but still have access for data entry and download.

They could easily be assigned a six digit number without being made a member.  There is no reason to create an entire new data field for about a dozen people.  And then give a username to 50,000 more people who don't need it.

Which is also in no way suggesting that it isn't what they did anyway
