My Secret to TS/SCI Timeline

Clearance Granted

Just wanted to come on here and share my timeline of going from a Secret to a TS/SCI clearance. A little background: I was on active duty in the Navy for six years, where I held a secret, and then I transitioned to a job in the Air Force Reserve, where I needed a TS/SCI. Also, some of the dates are estimations.

SF86 Submitted: December 6th(?)

Interview with DSCA investigator: January 28th

References contacted: January 29th/30th

Investigation completed, moved to adjudication: February 27th(?)

Clearance grated: April 11th

My only possible red flag was high credit card debt, but nothing in collections or delinquent. I was honestly really surprised at how fast this all went. My investigator was super efficient and I never ran into any headaches. I consider myself very lucky.
