I accepted a FJO for a PAQ program with the Air Force about 2 weeks ago, and my EOD is Monday, June 1st. That position only requires a Tier 1 background investigation (SF85), and my NBIS/background process is still ongoing.
Yesterday, I received another TJO from the Air Force for a different position that requires a TS/SCI clearance (Tier 5 / SF86). I’m honestly very interested in this second opportunity long term.
My question is: since both jobs are under the USAF, is it possible for them to basically keep my current SF85 process for the PAQ position so I can still start working on June 1st, while separately starting the SF86/TS investigation for the second position?
Has anyone here ever been in a similar situation where they accepted one Air Force position and then got another offer requiring a higher clearance before the first investigation was completed?
I’d really appreciate any advice or shared experiences. Thanks!
