Security clearance issues.
I bet you dollars to donuts that is the issue.

LTC (Join to see) sorry, I'm on the run. Various typos on my voice text answer but I'll fix it later when I go in the laptop.

LTC (Join to see) - MG Jacobs said all E-7s and up had to get a TS-SCI too. Everyone said that it would cost a fortune, and only very select personnel needed that clearance level. Still, the whole command got an OPORD that said to complete all of those packets... and they all went nowhere.
Thousands of man-hours.

1SG (Join to see) On our submarine with a crew of 130 men, I doubt that more than 30-40 had TS-SCIs. What you identified is the reason for the extensive backlog. It seems as if access and need to know is passé .

If you dig into these stories you’ll find it’s like 40 or so folks being sent on their way and they’re *ALL* from China, Afghanistan, and (IIRC) Iran. Why? They either provided false info on enlistment or can’t get a security clearance.

Nothing new. Saw a couple of recruits yanked out if boot camp at MCRD for the same reason.

Saw two guys snatched off a SFCP team after a clearance review.

It’s called the system... it works.
