SPC Dasan Toney 6577391 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>My Unit here st Fort Carson are asking for personal bank statements. I have given them up to my chain of command but I am certain I am not obligated to send them up to my COC unless I am delinquent on a debt by subject to Article 134 of UCMJ. I am not delinquent my Unit has not been informed of any debts as of current. 2020-12-13T17:19:02-05:00 SPC Dasan Toney 6577391

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Are you doing a security clearance?<br />Are you undergoing a screening for a personal reliability program (nukes, law enforcement, etc)<br />Are you being screened for unaccompanied access to arms, ammunition, and explosives (armorer) ?<br />Are you separated with or without a separation Support agreement? Ref AR600-99<br />Are you divorced and your ex-spouse is complaining about late/insufficient support?<br /><br />There is no context here at all. I doubt this is a 100% bolt out of the blue. There has to be something else here. Candidly, as a Commander, I never went near a soldier&#39;s personal finances unless I got dragged in to them somehow.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I&#39;m assuming you have a clearance level of at least Secret. Finances directly impact clearances because Service Members who can be exploited due to vulnerabilities is an issue and immediate red flag during investigations. Bad finances can result in a failed clearance investigation. Refusing to provide your financials can also do that. <br /><br />Without any additional context I assume that is what you are dealing with.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>This sounds like one of those good idea fairy things.<br /><br />No, you are not obligated to turn over your personal expenses to any leaders in your unit; any more than you are obligated to turn over your cell phone bill, credit card statements, or internet browser history. There are times you can be ordered to surrender these things, but unless your command has a valid reason there is no legal claim to demand these things.<br /><br />I guarantee what happened here is some General decided that the best way to be effective leaders is to be in your Soldiers business. I actually do agree with that, but leadership is relationships, not making intrusive and illegal demands. Your leadership is asking for this because they want to ensure you&#39;re not making bad financial decisions that they will have to deal with the repercussions of later.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Everyone is talking about clearances.....I have a TS SCI and never had to turn over any bank information.<br /><br />No, you do not have to. If they are justified in needing these documents, they can legally obtain them without your consent. (Think search warrant type stuff)

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>There is more to this story. I suggest you talk to legal/jag and not take advice from here. If your chain of command is ordering you to hand over these type of records they have already asked a JAG officer if they are within their rights to demand them. (If they are smart anyway)

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>That’s an extremely unorthodox request from a CoC. I would consult with JAG just to keep your leadership safe.
