its just a MOS to get me into the army, i've already accepted a ROTC scholarship and get commissioned in 2 years, but i'll be going into aviation...hopefully

When I was getting my Secret clearance I don't remember having a problem. I had a pager bill that I didn't pay and another account that I didn't pay until I was out of the military. But i was able to have a Secret Clearance while I was in teh military. But if you need a Top Secret Clearance that could come into play.

 

[Focalrock4life 10+ year member]

i just need secret clearance for AST not top. but the USCG says if your debt to income ratio is 30% ur a no go. and i was just trying to figure out what they included in that figure..

 

[Focalrock4life 10+ year member]

but do they include auto insurance and cell bill as a debt?

 

[bunkerking09 10+ year member]

if its past due to the point they can turn over to collection

yes

thats like 90+ days late or something like that

 

[Focalrock4life 10+ year member]

Nah nothing is in collections, never had a late payment. looks like i can still do what i want then since i will be under the 30% without cell and insurance!

Bills are not debt. They're bills.

bunkerking09 - if you want to fly in the Army, don't go O. Get a warrant if you want to actually fly for more than a year or two after Rucker. I looked at going into the Army as a helo pilot when it was looking like th AF wouldn't let me fly. I canned that idea as soon as I found out that once you make Capt, no more flying for you.
