SECRET CLEARANCE???

Just wondering if having a secret clearance while I was in the Military will help speed up my background check? True or wishful thinking?

Welcome aboard!

I believe that it is wishful thinking.

Nope! I have a TS clearance, and it still took about 55 days.

Top Secret-SIOP didn't help me any.

DAMN!!!! All that time in the military! I thought it would make my life easier in the simplest ways. Oh Well!

So, I completed my course last Thursday and it feels like its been months already!

Can't wait for my plastic!!

Not to get off on a tangent, but if your into running or cyling. I highly recommend a Garmin GPS watch. It can be a rude awakening about what pace you actually keep. = (

Dude, I gave up runnin' when I was handed my DD-214!

I do still like to swim though.

It helped me. I called and was told that my application was put into investigations because I had a self report. I told them that I had a security clearance for the military done after the event and faxed a copy of the paperwork to them. The investigator called me back and told me my license would be issued that day.

See........all that time paid off somehow!!!
