Greetings everyone.
I've been lurking for a while and decided to join.
I'm a former Military Working Dog trainer and handler. Freshly retired from the Army. Working my way back into the civilian world. I applied for my CHL 3 weeks ago, and haven't heard back yet. My wife got hers the same day she applied. It's kind of comical because I'm still technically active duty (on terminal leave) with a secret clearance, and my application is delayed.
I appreciate the volumes of experience and information available here. I've learned a considerable amount just reading through the forum.

Welcome to OFCC!
And, I've heard that the "Secret" clearance inevitably causes a delay. Don't know why that would be, but that's what I've heard.

Re: New member from NW Ohio
I don't understand it. I went through a considerable background check to obtain my clearance (was TS). Why that wouldn't be sufficient for a CHL is beyond me.JustaShooter wrote:Welcome to OFCC!

Thanks for the info JustaShooter

Welcome to the forum!
We've seen some squeaky clean folks that had to wait almost the full 45 days before getting their license, so don't sweat it.
However, if you get denied, let us know.
