Work on getting it reduced as quickly as possible. If you are looking for Confidential or Secret Clearance, from what I understand from my research, it probably won't be an issue if you have been making payments within the last 6 months or more, but if you need Top Secret (TS) or Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information (TS/SCI), it could be an issue. The Navy wants to see you as a financially responsible person. The type of debt would also be a factor as well as if you have made payments on time or have been delinquent in any. If you haven't checked your credit reports, you need to do that. You can get a free report one time per year from each of the 3 credit reporting companies. One place to get them is at AnnualCreditReport.com.

No it will not, your payments can't be any more than 30% of your income.

Yes, it will. I was up for a secret clearance job, and had possibly $600 of debt and I was not allowed that job. But alot of jobs don't require secret clearance, so if you are worried about getting a job having debt won't disqualify you. But it will disqualify from certain ones. I was up for an IT job, and I couldn't get it. But I was totally okay with it bc I wanted HM. I hope that helped. :)

Recommend you work on getting that down NOW! And make payments on time. If you haven't been making payments on time, while they are doing your clearnace it will raise a flag and you will be required to go talk to someone about what you are doing to get the debt down.
You don't get your clearnace until after you are done with bootcamp and if you can't get a clearnace you loose your job and go needs of the Navy....which normally means undes.
Again..if you are joining the USN, this site is more for loved ones of Recruits and Sailors.http://www.facebook.com/?ref=logo#!/womenredefinednavy join that site, it is for people going through what you are going through.

Debt does not necessarily disqualify you from getting a clearance. It depends on what type of debt. If it's all credit cards then you will need to explain that during your investigation. But if it's a car loan and credit cards, and student loans and other different ones, and you are making payments then it's no problem. People buy houses (mortgage loan), cars, get pools built etc... and have hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt, but if it's within your means then you are fine. I have held a clearance for over 25 years and have gone through the re-investigations which are every 5 years, so again, debt doesn't necessarily disqualify you.
