By the sound of it though it probably isn't much if you're planning on having it paid off before boot. If that's the case, just make sure you're upfront about it during your interview process and once it's taken care of you should be fine.

Yea its only for $843 from TMobile, didn't know it was there until right before I went to MEPS. I had them almost 5 years ago. Anyways, I already told MEPS about it when I went down there, and I have been working with my recruiter to make sure I am as upfront as possible. I really want to get into CTR.

I don't see that being a roadblock for you at all. Just get it on all the needed paperwork and be candid if an investigator asks about it. I wouldn't sweat it too much at all.

What they're looking for on the debt front would be like $5000+, money owed to foreign interests, ect. You situation doesn't really raise many red flags.

They just take that really seriously since the VAST majority of espionage/treason cases revolve around peoples debt and them selling state secrets to solve that debt problem.

Thanks a lot, this really helps. Yea I leave May 2015, so I want to get everything taken care of by January so I have plenty of time to submit for CTR. The lieutenant was asking about CTT as well, so I have a few options to look over.

I see your info says CTT1, how do you like what you do? Is it interesting and engaging for you?

Read my "Ask A Spook" thread and it should cover the differences in CT rates.

But in short, if I didn't have to worry about money I would still do this job for free haha If that tells you anything ;)
