Security clearance

[JK]

Some of you may already know my situation..

i got another security 'grey' book come through the post yesterday. Obviously filled it in straight away. Once i've sent this off, will i have to re-do everything? i've already had to do my PJFT Medical and Eye Test, will i have to re-do selection interview, and Psy; Test ?

have you spoken to your afco mate? It's likely that they are sending you the security clearance booklet

Was was the problem with your security mate?

Nope not attall!

i applied almost 14 months ago, but i've failed my PRMC, and now its been like 12 months since i sent it away, it may just be an update as its been so long. I'm not entirely bothered! i just *text deleted* hurry up and join the unit, my mum does my NUT right in.

I think that all things like you security, medical and psychometric tests are only valid for a certain amount of time. best person to ask would probably be ninja on this on i think.

When your at home you don't pay that much or anything, and you aint got to worry about nothing! Looking forward to getting to RT and having my own little 6 man grot and having nothing to worry about apart from the next day's phys and cleaning my kit! *text deleted*

Security Clearance, once granted, is only valid for 12 months if you don't join.

If 12 months has elapsed, it has to be done again, much as it's a pain. If you delay it, or do not complete the forms correctly it has the potential to severely delay your entry date.

Incidently, it costs over £2.5K to process your security clearance, generally the AFCO will not submit it until they are fairly certain you will be joining. Many AFCOs will not submit it until you have passed PRMC, particularly if you have failed previously.

The completed form, if not submitted for clearance, is only valid for 6 months from the date of your signature on pages 14 & 18.
