Thank you for your replies.
If you can't get a clearance, we are not going to put you into training. That would be a total waste of resources.

If there is any doubt, you may be asked to explain your "hindrances" to the board's satisfaction.

Since people who sit on the board are ones you will see again, and are important to your future, lying to them would be a bad idea.

Some people with clearance issues are told that they will not be returning for the SFQC till their clearance has been adjudicated. That can take a while.

You are a long way from the board at the end of SFAS. Odds are very good that even if you sign an 18X contract, you will not make it that far.

My advice to you is to focus on the things you have control of, and the 25 meter target, getting into shape.
