How can I get access to NIPR?

Beautiful morning from korea.
I try to take foreign language test for Korean and Japanese. But at the education center, they said I need to get access to NIPR to take test.
But when I asked my chain of command about getting access to NIPR, SGT said I can’t get it unless I’m an NCO.
Does anyone know how I can get access to NIPR please?

PV2 Private RallyPoint Member sounds like you need to introduce your irresistible force (Your NCO) to their immovable object (Ed Center) get them in the same place and have them work it out. First off, there is no NCO requirement to be on NIPR. You have privates in S1 with access. Then your first line can take you to S6 and apply for access.

Unless something changed since Oct 2016, your CAC card should have the certificates loaded so you can log on to any Army computer. Have you logged into an ed Center common use compute before? How do you do all the JKO mandatory training?

Perhaps your NCO is confused with SIPR or having a dedicated computer.

You are a medic and don't have NIPR access? How do you input patient intake information?

Any government computer that you can do unclassified work on....check emails....do your annual online mandatory training.....THAT'S a NIPR computer.

NIPR is simply the military's unclassified computer network. You can access most with your CAC, but some do require further access approvals via your S/J-6. Even then, CACs typically allow guest access to most NIPR networks.

Do you have email access? Do you have a .mil email account? Then you have access to NIPR.
