Re: How long does the background check last?

I don't know that prior military adds to the background for everyone. In my case, it didn't slow my process down. Two weeks total process for me.

Filed paperwork (including DD214) via electronic RSD on 9/30
Fingerprint on 10/4
Everything received/Background check in process 10/6
Background complete on 10/10
LTC mailed 10/14

I held secret security clearance. I don't think my DD214 and secret security clearance held me back, maybe even moved it forward. I've had 3 federal background checks done in the last 15 years, so maybe that's why mine moved fast (also probably helps having a clean record).

I think it all depends on the person, and the history. If no hits on the record, moves fast; but if something does show up on the background and they have to seek additional information, that probably adds time.
