51C, I have a 119 GT score, I am a year away from completing my Bachelors in Business Administration(concentration in Logistics) Able to deploy and the whole bit.. My only issue is I have no security clearance... My ERB only states that a initial investigation was started on the the 6th of June 2005... My mos now requires a secret Clearance(42R)... So,would it be fine if I can show that a I have submitted the proper paperwork for a clearance... Or, must I wait until I have a actual clearance which could take a months I assume?? Thanks...

That is crazy how a army Army Band person now requires a secret clearance. A Top Secret will take you at least 3 months, prolly 4.

Yeah,we do alot of high profile gigs.. Like playing for the President and things like that... I've played for the 1st Bush twice actually.. anyway, for 51C all that is needed(from what I have read) is a Secret...

I'm honestly not sure if they would take an interim clearance, I've never had anyone ask that question. I'd contact the branch manager and ask her, she should be able to tell you. I do know you need a final clearance to be MOSQ though as we report clearance status during every CUB to BDE. I have seen Soldiers without one, but their's was in re-adjudcation while they extended their current one.

As long as you do not have any issues it will be right around 4 months for a TS/SCI. They have really streamlined the process.

Thanks.. I'll contact her...

If anyone is interested in the 51C SMCT (Soldier Manual of Common Tasks) let me know and I can send you the AKO link.

Can I get that link please? Thanks!

Sorry, been gone a lot.

Head to AKO and goto the "Expeditionary Contracting Command" site. It is on the bottom in the files section.

No, you are no longer supposed to mail it in. E-mail the completed packet to the following e-mail:

usaasc.fa51-cmf51@conus.army.mil

See http://asc.army.mil/career/pro.../nco/nco_reclass.cfm for more detail. Good luck, they are looking at things a lot harder now.

Can a soldier go to this school on a temporary profile? I know of an extremely squared away troop that has done waaay to many jumps and will eventually have a pulhes score of 113111, but in the meantime has a temp profile. I hear that the secrets out and a lot of people are applying.

That would probably be a question to ask branch. However, it is a NCOES granting school at the BNCOC level, so my initial guess would be no, you can not. But I am not 100% certain.

51c,

How hard is it to get an assignemnt to Germany, or anywhere in Europe?

I'd say probably not too horribly hard. One of our major Brigades is located in Germany.
