1. A Secret clearance will take about 1-2 months from the date it's started, to when it's granted... it's all basically irrelevant to you though, because everything for a Secret is done without your participation and you'll just get it while in DEP. It's possible you may need to have in in-person interview if your recruiter sucks at filling out the paperwork... but most don't. 2. First, you'll fill out an SF-86... that's the standard government form for all levels of clearance from Secret to SCI. Once MEPS submits your paperwork, someone from the Office of Personnel Management will get assigned your case and will conduct a National Agency check... this is an inquiry of FBI, state, county, and local law enforcement databases for all places you've lived or worked. OPM will also check your credit history and Social Security records to verify all employment data was disclosed. As long as you don't lie on your paperwork, you'll be granted a clearance. 3. Nope... the only way to check your access level is through sites that require a Common Access Card (Military ID). If you don't hear anything by the time you leave for RTC, you have a clearance. At some point during basic, you should have a chance to log into various .mil websites and can check your clearance level then. 4. I was in Great Lakes as a recruit from 18 September to 16 November... we got our first snowfall my last week there. It'll be cold, but not freezing. 5. It's possible, but rare... talk to your recruiter about submitting a DEP Action Request, or DAR. 6. That's a DEP ID, which is kinda sorta technically a military ID... I was able to get access to the local Coast Guard base with it, and you can see if places will offer you a military discount. Other than that, it serves no real purpose.

My recruiting station has basically told me NO. and for the most part that's the answers online, I have seen posts from two or three people that got earlier dates, but they were because someone in their district could not ship when they were originally scheduled so that date is passed on to the next person in line. The NUKE pipeline is just super over crowded, and my recruiter said the school in Ballston Spa, is closed for remodeling, which makes the process even tighter of a squeeze.

Did you have to have your clearance before he let you leave early? My recruiter said there are several spots open but that I can't put in the DAR until after I have my SC interview.

I never got a security clearance interview... I mean if it was at MEPS along with all the other stuff then maybe I guess. But we have guys that have to wait extra time after A school because they don't have their clearance yet. Just food for thought. I'm not saying your recruiter is wrong. I just never had to "wait for my clearance interview" ever.
