Will Military Security Clearance/ Flight Physical Translate?

[BravoKiloATC]

Trying to develop a mindset on this hiring process, confused on whether or not my military security clearance/flight physical will translate directly to the FAA thus shortening or expediting the process. If anyone can provide any information it is greatly appreciated!

None of them will transfer over. Welcome to the party.

Thanks, sounds like its a multiple year process. Just trying to get a handle on whether or not to jump into another career in the meantime!

In 2009-2010 the fastest I heard was about 6 months and the longest was 4 years. It took me 2 years from the time I separated from the military.

Only in the sense that you’ll probably pass if you’ve already achieved similar clearances.

That is along the lines of what I am gathering, probably wouldnt expect it to expedite much

That shit doesnt even translate between branches. I literally showed up to an Army base in my Navy uniform for the same exact fuckin physical they could've done without me travelling 4 hours away to dusty ass Oklahoma.

No offense... Oklahomans? Oklahomians? Oklahomenese?

I had an active TS/SCI in the military, my clearance for the FAA went through the day it was submitted, not sure if it was a coincidence or not.

Had a clearance from my time in GTMO and it was still good, sped up my process. Got my facility assignment within 6 months of applying and will be there at 8 months from application

I had to double up the same checks between serco and the FAA and they were only 6 months old

I have a secret clearance currently, I am hoping that it runs the same system and that your situation was not coincidental! thanks!
