• Applications will state clearly whether or not personnel are required to apply for clearance when submitting an application. Clearance cannot be applied for early and should be submitted at the same time as the application. A separate request must be filled out for each office. Different positions within the same office can be under the same request. Clearance records will appear on the PTS under the ‘clearance’ tab. This is not public information and can only be viewed by the individual and the National Intelligence committee responsible for the clearance procedure.

  Rejected - The personnel was not cleared for the position.

  Clearance results will be returned within 72 hours on average once the JSD member has made their selection. Longer wait times may occur. The clearance committee will work with requesting personnel to address any issues where possible. The vetting bodies of the National Intelligence portfolio will not respond to inquiries about wait times or clearance request outcomes. In the event of a rejected clearance request, personnel may reach out to SOCOM Command for further information disseminated at their discretion. Any inquiries about applying for the clearance process can be directed to the JSD member of the position (OCS included) or an OSD member for SOAB/FGOAB.

However, different positions within the same office can be under the same request. Clearance records will appear on the PTS profile of the member under the ‘clearance’ tab. This is not public information and can only be viewed by the individual and the National Intelligence committee responsible for the clearance procedure.
