A shipmate CACs in/out and has a yellow mark. What should you do?

• A. Tell them to report to the yeoman.
• B. Inform the duty driver.
• C. Call security.
• D. Document in the log.

Answer: (A)

A yellow mark on a CAC is an administrative indicator that this individual’s access requires verification and processing by the personnel/administrative office. The shipmate should report to the yeoman so the proper checks can be done, the badge status updated if needed, and any temporary accommodations arranged. This keeps access control accurate and avoids unnecessary security escalation. The duty driver and security aren’t the next steps here, and simply logging the event doesn’t resolve the credential status.
