Question about security clearance.

Hi,

I am currently thinking about applying to Navy OCS for either SWO or aviator (it will be two years before I graduate university). My question is, what kind of clearances would the above communities likely require? I am currently a dual citizen, and immigrated to United States when I was 10. Let's just say that a distant relative of mine flew the Migs in the 80's, so it's not like I came from a super friendly NATO country. Would this potentially kill my chances of getting a clearance required for either community?

I had fellow pilots that were Russian and Ukrainian. NFO’s that were Chinese. None were dual citizens, and you would have to renounce your citizenship to place other than the USA.

It’s doable...

Having close relatives, friends, etc, still back in the old country is more of a thing than being an immigrant. Someone who could influence you or be used to influence you, in other words.

This guy was a Ukrainian immigrant and he did pretty good when it counted.
