I am PS Army trying to get back in and i'm a little concerned about my debt/credit. Normally I wouldn't be concerned, however i'm trying to get a job with a Top Secret clearance. I don't have any major criminal issues (just a few traffic tickets), never done drugs, don't smoke, drink, have a Bachelor's in Criminal Justice and have NEVER been late on any of my bills. My credit score is about a 740 or so.
I am also married, and unfortunately my wife has about $30k worth of student loans between her Bachelor's and Master's. If I add in our credit card and car payments my total debt is probably around $60k. We pay our bills on time and have nothing delinquent.
Do you guys think this will significantly affect my chances of getting a TS clearance? Please say no because I really am excited about this job!
Thanks in advance!
