A Breakdown of the Tier 3 Background Investigation

All Concerned,

I heard from my recruiter and FSO on 12/19/2016

It was stated at their last meeting with DoD that applicants that are submitted for investigation from roughly 12/01/2016 are at an estimated 200 days for a response their investigation. What this means I am not too clear on as it was general intel passed along from my Recuriter, however I would think that in the general statement of this that it means if I submitted on 12/01/2016 that I could be waiting as long as 6 months before my investigation would be even started.

Again this is only speculation and self interpretation of intel that was passed on to me from my Recuriter.
