<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Generally your promotion has nothing to do with your security clearance status. The determining factor is whether your unit put you up for promotion. If they did, a security clearance is not required to be promoted once you go in front of a board (or whatever your particular process is). <br /><br />Once promoted, you may not be able to fill certain jobs yet without a clearance, but you can still be a Sergeant. Also, units can give interim security clearances for this purpose.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Does your MOS require a clearance at the E-5 level?<br />If it does, than you are not eligible for promotion.<br /><br />However, there is a way out. Assuming that you don't have any derogatory information in your past, your unit can issue you an interim clearance, which would solve this obstacle for you.<br />Talk to your unit security manager.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I used to be no. You can not be a 13M without a security clearance. They used to hold you out of school until your clearance came through,, but I don't know how it works now. You would think that you would not be able to.
