rwfoxjr Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 At what point in the WOFT application process do you get cleared for your Secret Clearance needed to attend WOFT? 1 Quote
I3uller Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 Typically you'll get interviewed for your security clearance on the same trip to MEPS that you do your first physical. Immediately after the interview, if everything looks good to the interviewer, you'll be granted an interim security clearance and allowed to continue with the process. Quote
rwfoxjr Posted August 23, 2013 Author Posted August 23, 2013 What have I done. Haha, appreciate the info everyone. Quote
Lindsey Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 Â Haha, appreciate the info everyone. You're welcome. Quote
Justine Posted August 25, 2013 Posted August 25, 2013 They might arrange to meet you outside of meps. I know you can't commission without your final, at least Guard side Quote
Ardo09203 Posted August 25, 2013 Posted August 25, 2013 Are there any "red flags" outside of tickets that can hold up a security clearance? Quote
I3uller Posted August 25, 2013 Posted August 25, 2013 I wouldn't stress about it too much. Usually it's citizenship stuff and foreign national relationships that they might just ask a question or two about. My brother is an environmental biologist doing research north of the arctic circle in Canada but he's still a US citizen so it wasn't a big deal. Unless you've had some serious foreign dealings or a lot of close relationships with non US citizens I wouldn't stress too much about it. Quote
av8rnik Posted August 25, 2013 Posted August 25, 2013 I think major credit problems can be a roadblock. Quote
UH60L-IP Posted August 26, 2013 Posted August 26, 2013 Are there any "red flags" outside of tickets that can hold up a security clearance? Â Sure, murder is one. Robbery, arson, ties to the mob, drug smuggling, and money laundering are but a few others. 1 Quote

Cantankerously Posted August 26, 2013 Posted August 26, 2013 Are there any "red flags" outside of tickets that can hold up a security clearance? Do you hold office in a foreign country? Thank god my clearance was still active from my DoD job. Quote

I3uller Posted August 26, 2013 Posted August 26, 2013 My personal favorite is under "have you ever been a part of a terrorist organization?" where it asks for the address. Um, yes, number 4 cave in the side of the mountain, Afghanistan. Now give me the keys to an Apache k thnx bye. 3 Quote
lawilm Posted September 5, 2013 Posted September 5, 2013 Current default federal loans such as student loans can automatically deny interim and you have to wait for the full investigation to clear you before your eligible. If you show your repaying and doing what your supposed then you can expect to get cleared but it can take several months to nearly a year in some cases. Also tax liens and levys can cause issues as well. Quote
