Use the latest browser version to access Navy Reserve Homeport portal applications

All Hands, Old browsers, particularly Internet Explorer versions 10 and below are less stable, much more vulnerable to viruses, spyware, malware, and other security issues. Security holes that were identified and patched in newer versions are still open and available for hackers to exploit and infiltrate. Outdated browsers have the potential to compromise a service member’s computer, and negatively affect Navy systems and applications. Navy Reserve Homeport applications (i.e. Reserve Force Manpower Tools (RFMT)) have been successfully tested on Internet Explorer 10 and above. Service members will encounter a degraded and unsupportable user interface when using older browsers. IAW NMCI User Awareness User Communication #20160108-0500: On January 12, 2016, Internet Explorer (IE) versions 8 and 10 reached End of Life (EOL) and are no longer supported.
