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.

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. = (

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!!!
