Q clearance
therealville:
anyone else get a Q lately? it seems that its taking roughly 4 months from everyone I have heard from lately. The suspense is killing meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
MMCDude:
I submitted the paperwork for mine last October while I was still on the boat, and when I checked in to my current duty station in January, my Q was waiting for me. The investigators did seem rather frustrated that I didn't keep track of more than a couple personal contacts from previous duty stations, or because I couldn't tell them the names of my neighbors.

What was the total time from SF86 submittal to approval to get your clearance?
jordan:
Obtained my Q in 4 and a half months from Y-12, which is veery quick considering I never held an L or Q before.(Was a Navy Nuke in the late 80's-early 90's with DOD secret). I believe they are now getting clearances done quicker under the new administration.
pup5050:
My OPM/FBI interview was in early Jan and my Q came through in late Mar. I am told that the background check is much faster now than it once was, but it takes longer to get your actual badge because of the HSPD-12 policy. But it all depends on how many places you have lived, worked, etc. I think the average is about 3-4 months now though. Hope this helps someone out there. Be safe.
