Navy Officer jobs and level of clearance

[Fire17]

I was wondering what level of security clearance is achieved through different officer paths. Mainly Surface Warfare Officer, Intelligence Officer, Flight Officer, and Pilot.

For entry as in what is initiated by the NRD for everything you have listed is Secret, except Intel which is TS, what happens after you are in is a different story.

Many/most aviation billets will require a TS by the time you hit your fleet squadron.

So...be like Ivory Soap...CLEAN on whatever questionnaire you are ever asked to fill out or in the answer to any question you are ever asked. Lying is a capital offense when it comes to security clearances. They DO have black helicopters, just so's you know...

VAQ/VAW/VFA/VP/VQ to name a few. We had some guys in HSL with TS as well. I think that qualifies as many. I guess you don't need a TS to do STBD D though.

Usually the HSL guys are the OICs and it's actually not required to have, however, depending on what's going on during your deployment, you may not be fully read in on something. At least in practice. I never got a TS and I know some 5th Fleet deployers that didn't have one either, but it's rare because everyone thinks they're supposed to have one (or more likely, their previous job required one).

I just finished some stuff called PRP on top of my TS headed to VQ. Really weird stuff the doc was asking, "have you ever been hypnotized," and stuff. He had me chuckle a few times!

Seriously? That sounds like they took a page from the 1950's psychology manual. I do remember the PRP interview for special weps back in the day, asking if I were a member of Greenpeace or the Communist Party.

You have never been hypnotized.
You have never been hypnotized.
You have never been hypnotized.

KBayDog!!! That's awesome!!!

Eh, there's nothing cosmic about PRP, it's really just a way of monitoring people to make sure someone with temporary or permanent issues doesn't have anything to do with nuclear weapons. Let's say I was prescribed painkillers, boom no nuke stuff for me until I'm off the meds.
