My recruiter told me that I should try to fill out the STA-21 after e3 and go to college and try going in the Nuclear field as an officer. I just want to know what my options are.

Personally I've never seen that happen, but that's because not many people qualify for NUKE or can pass the school. I wouldn't say it's impossible, but it might take some under the table type of deals to get done.

What was your clearance issue? I was an SSO (guy who processed clearances) for a while so maybe I can give you a clearer picture.

Also, Officer is a great path if you're going into the Nuclear field. If you're considering making it a career then it could be a great option for you.
