Can your Army recruiter ask for you to get your secret clearance?

I ship out to army as 25b on June 23rd, I find it funny how my recruiter told me I would get an interview with a investigator right after I signed a contract, it’s been 1 month and an investigator didn’t call me not once, but I have friends (7 to be exact) who have been put through meps with the same recruit as me and signed a contract last week and 2 signed contracts today and they all got to interview with an investigator on the spot when they signed the contract, why didn’t I get that opportunity? I think it’s because I did something bad when I was 16 but it was expunged from my records and he told me I would be good to join if I don’t say anything (yes I know it was wrong to lie but focus on the other parts I’m asking right now) so I didn’t , but I think he is probably telling them to prolong my clearance until I ship out because maybe he thinks I will get caught for lying so he doesn’t want them to interview me now and later, they end up finding out I lied they will kick me out and he won’t make his quota because I never shipped out because of me getting caught up, Is that what is going on here or he can’t do anything for me to be in contact with an investigator before I even ship ? Because how is it that everyone else is getting in contact with investigators but I’m not? You expect me to believe that waivers go in order from whoever submitted them first to last , but clearances don’t go in order ???

I do BIs. For a secret clearance all that is done is a review of the SF-86, credit history and a criminal history check. No interview unless you have issues in your background, i.e alcohol, drugs, criminal, foreign travel, financial are the most common issues.

Recruiter has nothing to do with a security clearance. Not everyone who goes for a secret the investigator meets with. It's only when they have some type of questions about your sf-86 and what they have found. For my renewal back in December it took about 2 weeks before the investigator called me and it was only a 45 min meet he said it was his fastest ever. It is usually some simple questions. My first two security clearances I never met with an investigator so you never know.

The background check will find it. And if that doesn’t find it the Investigator will.

My investigation was done on the spot when I signed my contract. I’m not sure why yours wasn’t, when you sign at MEPS is where you file your National Security Questionarre.
People aren’t ignoring it because regardless of if your recruiter is lying to you or not you’ll most likely get discharged for fraudulent enlistment when they find out.

It’s not being ignored because you say you think it’s the reason although it’s not and from my personal experience I’m pretty sure the your recruiter cannot tell the investigator to delay. You’re giving them more power than what they actual are allowed to do. PVT (Join to see)

I was a recruiter and they do an NCIC on everyone that goes in. I was put under investigation because I put someone in that had charges that did not belong to them. I had to pull the warrants just to prove they were his dad’s charges that got listed on the sons record. I proved it by showing the date of birth on the warrant because they had a DUI when the sone was three years old. So the son got to stay in the army.
