I filled out a packet for the security clearance and was told that someone would call me to ask more questions but it's been a month and no call. My recruiter told me that sometimes they don't call and not to worry about it. Does this sound right. Thanks for any reply.
Not unusual, Glad you got your Option 40, now please become one of Ranger GoldCoast's mentees. Never, never quit!

There is a thread called five mentees report here. Several have already shipped, so we continue to add mentees.

The opt. 40 only requires a secret, sometimes they will conduct an additional interview, but most of the time they don't. A TS on the other hand will always require additional interviews
"Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorius triumphs, even though checkered by failure... than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat."
-Theodore Roosevelt
