Army Reserves here. My Recruiter automatically submitted it, I didn't even know it happened. I learned in AIT that NCOs need a Security Clearance. One year later I go to apply for an ADOS position and they ask if I have a Secret Clearance and I asked my Training NCO how to get a Security Clearance, he looked at me weird and said "We all have security clearances it's automatically submitted when you enlist." So some recruiters Army side will automatically submit you for a security clearance.

I’m 17 and my family have moved around a bit. My question since you said I’d have to get the contact info from people that I knew when I lived in that area, what if it is someone you aren’t in contact anymore and you don’t know their current contact or just their info overall? Is there any difference to doing things if you’re younger?

I submitted mine yesterday, but under basic information I listed my mom, dad, and brother as "not dependents" because they are not my dependents, I am dependent on my parents. Was this correct?
@AirmanVision 3 жыл бұрын
You are correct! Don't worry! AND if there ever are any issues, your recruiter will let you know and he/she can correct it! the reason I said "dependents" is because that was the category it was under. So for me, my only dependent was Kyle...but I listed my whole family (parents and siblings, but clicked the options that they weren't dependents)

that will all depend on 1. how quickly you get the background check done. 2. if there are things that need to be looked into further. 3. how many recruits your recruiter is processing AND probably other things as well, but for me it took about 2 weeks (if that)

I am in grad school with expected graduation date of October. I have student loans from my BA as well, totaling around $50k for both degrees. I also co-signed on a new vehicle for my former partner (not married) and have not had any communication with them for over 2 years. My name is still on the vehicle/loan, as they would not remove my name. They were delinquent in payments for around 3 months in 2019. Will any of this impact my process when applying for ANG?
