Clearance required for MT

lacrosseplayer1 · 12-10-2013, 02:30 PM

I have DEPped in with MT, however from what I can tell my family's situation would preclude me from getting a TS clearance. I have revealed their status on the SF-86. Kforbs, they aren't citizens or green card holders, they are asylum applicants. Any other suggestions?
Thanks!

Also it says right there on the rate card that an SSBI is required, so I guess my recruiter isn't being too truthful. I'd be more than happy to change my rate to HM(which was what I had originally wanted) but while he has submitted a DAR he says that there's almost no chance that it'll go through.

Sounds like you may want to switch rates. I'd put in a DAR no matter what your recruiter says. Because it sounds like they would catch this in bootcamp and re-rate you then.

I know you can get waivers for that, not sure how hard it would be now though. There was a kid at my station who got a waiver...but he was also 25 and hadn't seen them in a while. I know my mother is not an American citizen but I was eligible for top secret. She is here legally though and has been here for over 20 years.

It is all done on an individual basis. Everyone's situation is different. Everyone that says they have an answer is just speculating. Just be honest about EVERYTHING and let the chips fall where they fall. Good Luck

I agree with griz let it pan out if it ends up not working out well you will get another job and later down the road cross train into something else besides the navy is all about knowing as much as you can about all different things

Thanks again to everyone and I apologize for the late response, what with the holidays I couldn't get online too often. Since my DAR for HM doesn't seem to be going anywhere I will stay with MT and hope for the best!
Thanks again

Also another quick question, further down the line if I stay with MT, do you think there would be a fair chance of cross-rating into SO? Or would the Navy make you stay on subs?
Thanks again
