<p>Since its one of the required forms to have completed and brought with you on I-day, I looked around for this form a week ago and could not find it. I wondered if I had misplaced it, but I was pretty sure they had not sent it to me. I finally did a search online and found it quite easily…turns out its a 13-page form that applies for all branches and forms of service, since its a security form.</p>

<p>My question is…has anyone had this mailed to them and received it? If so, does it sound like the one I’ve found? I want to make sure this is the right one.</p>

<p>I think it may have come in a different "form". You may be talking about the "Secret" Security clearance forms that we got in the appointment package. It was one of the big stapled packets.</p>

3

<p>yeah I think it's called the e-QIP and it's like 12 pages</p>

4

<p>Its about security clearance all right...and its 12-13 pages. It says right on the top "Standard Form 86, Office of Personnel Management," so I guess I'll assume this is the right one and fill it out.</p>

<p>What kind of access do we need? Is this just so we can be on base?</p>

5

<p>From what I read somewhere recently, there are 3 or 4 security levels, "Secret" being the middle one. It means we would be allowed access to somewhat sensitive information. Someone who is more knowledgeable in this subject should be able to clarify/correct this further.</p>

6

<p>Off topic, but since we are talking forms, anyone know what to do with the DNA Card? And another random shoot off, what do we do during check in from 7-11, because i get there around 9am and I don't want to miss anything.</p>

<p>Secret clearance for the most part is a joke, it's like, "Shhhh....we use planes to drop bombs."</p>

8

<p>I like the question on the secret clearance form that asks you if you have been or participated in a group with the intent of violently overthrowing the US government. And they give you a nice space below to describe the groups activities!</p>

9

<p>Yeah, that is kind of funny.
Clearance goes Confidential, Secret, Top Secret, Secret Compartmentalized?, then Codeword? (not sure about the last two).</p>

10

<p>It goes: Confidential, Secret, Top Secret, and Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI). I've never heard of codeword...</p>

11

<p>That's it Thanks. Codeword is appearantly some added measures to SCI, but not actually a clearance level (if I'm reading Wikipedia correctly).</p>

12

<p>So did we establish that the e-QIP and Form 86 are the same? Mine just says e-QIP on it unless I'm just being retarded. But it does say it's the security clearance.</p>

13

<p>Yeah, they're the same thing.</p>

14

<p>Hahah, here at West Point we just need police record checks. No 13 page jazz...</p>

15

<p>You don't actually need the form, since it's a gathering point of information to be entered electronically. I'm typing mine up and not bringing the actual form.</p>

16

<p>how'd you figure that out? that's a lot of information to fill out, again</p>

17

<p>Well, both the writing on the actual form "This is a gathering point of information" and a call to the Master Sergeant.</p>

<p>It's just easier (and neater) for me to type it out.</p>

18

<p>TN, are you saying that it could be submitted on line? How do you submit it if you're not bringing it? Thanks.</p>

19

<p>No, it's a gathering point for information we're going to submit electronically on I-Day. Anyway, I'm just typing the data out and printing it.</p>

<p>TacticalNuke is right actually. I don't know why you would want to not use the form and risk missing something, but that's your choice. You won't actually turn it in, instead you'll use it to fill out an online form, which is a huge pain. :)</p>
