Most that I can think of do. 1SG Private RallyPoint Member Tue, 29 Mar 2016 11:15:37 -0400 2016-03-29T11:15:37-04:00 https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/is-it-still-possible-to-get-promoted-after-being-denied-a-security-clearance-and-getting-placed-in-an-mos-that-doesn-t-require-one?n=1413887&urlhash=1413887 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Too add to the wisdom already imparted here, if you intend on making a career out of the military, you will most certainly require at least a secret. There was talk about requiring that for SFC, but I don't know if that is the reality yet or not. There are units that require a Secret or higher, regardless of MOS, to be a condition of your billet in that unit.<br /><br />BLUF: Find out what you need to do to correct the reasons for your denial, and try again in a few years. KEEP ALL YOUR RECORDS FROM THIS APPLICATION!!! Having that info at hand (such as residential history) will be very useful 1SG Private RallyPoint Member Tue, 29 Mar 2016 19:52:01 -0400 2016-03-29T19:52:01-04:00 https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/is-it-still-possible-to-get-promoted-after-being-denied-a-security-clearance-and-getting-placed-in-an-mos-that-doesn-t-require-one?n=1414643&urlhash=1414643 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Well if your mid requires a clearance you should be more concerned of being removed the promotion. If it's a requirement then it's sound like a chapterable offense or force reclass... Better work on the clearance before you worry about rather things CPL Randy Bautista Wed, 30 Mar 2016 01:05:24 -0400 2016-03-30T01:05:24-04:00 https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/is-it-still-possible-to-get-promoted-after-being-denied-a-security-clearance-and-getting-placed-in-an-mos-that-doesn-t-require-one?n=1431298&urlhash=1431298 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>If you were in an MOS that required you to have a security clearance, and you did not, you should have been flagged with a code of EA. After you were selected to reclassify and completed training to be awarded that MOS, the flag would be lifted. <br /><br />If you were just placed in a position that does not require a clearance, but you are an MOS that does, you should not be promoted, as you should be flagged. Shoot me a message so I can ask you some questions and give you a solid answer.

So cleaning up the credit thing is a good idea along with anything else they thought disqualifying. If you are never eligible for a clearance, at some point expect the cattle prod. CAPT Kevin B.
