Also going to go ahead and share this here for future reference - a very interesting security clearance case for a dual Israeli-American citizen who ended up being able to keep his clearance without giving up his citizenship, even with previous service in the IDF!

Apples to oranges trying to compare that with military service.

They both have similar amounts of fiber though!

All jokes aside, yes of course, it was just interesting to see a decision being made concerning the security clearance, when considering the like background. Reminded me of my father (an American who married an Israeli) who had to go through a comparable process a couple years back when he was working a GS job for the USAF, and ended up having to give up his acquired Israeli citizenship to keep his clearance. Though, an acquired citizenship is different than having a natural-born one.

It all really just depends!

The clearance process starts at OCS with I think the process to get your secret, and the Top Secret process starts later on when you check into NASC (Naval Aviation Schools Command) your first stop in flight training.

Does this mean the process of renouncing the other citizenship does not start until you get to OCS?
One of my classmates from OCS who was born and raised in America couldn’t even get through the whole clearance process because his dad is Chinese and lives in China.

Do you know what happened to your classmate afterwards, like was he redesignated to a different designator or was he forced out of the Navy completely because of his situation?
