I'm currently in my 2nd enlistment, but will be subject to RCP in 2017 if points dont come down from 798. Currently looking into reclass to a 25D, 35F or 14T but not sure if I will be eligible for a TS Clearance. I enjoy my job as a Signal soldier, but I'm not sure what to make of my next move, as I would like to continue in the Army. Any advice, help or assitance would be greatly appreciated.

SFC (Join to see) I have seen people with bankruptcies, bad credit, DWIs, and even Art15's get TS clearance. As CW5 (Join to see) mentioned, it is more about being honest then anything else.

SFC (Join to see), have you talked with you reenlistment NCO? I'm sure you're not the first person to run up against a high promotion point problem in a particular MOS. I have known colleagues who had the same problem, so they reclassed from the high promotion point (or low selection rate at the higher grades) MOS to an MOS with a lower threshold and higher promotion rates, just as you mentioned.
If the security clearance is a problem, maybe there's another MOS that doesn't require a TS clearance?
Also, having worked in the counterintelligence field for 35 years, I can tell you that many people who think they will have a problem getting a security clearance actually do not have too much of a problem. If you're honest on your security clearance paperwork and tell the truth throughout the process, many things can be mitigated.
