Just my personal opinion here - but you might want to do that before you do the petition thing - at least try it. If Army personnel command or someone else gets an 'I'm pissed' fax from a congressman, etc. over a fairly new reservist - they could go the 'this isn't worth the damn trouble' route.Unless there is some time-critical issue, I'd say be patient and work thru Army channels first.If you give me ~2 weeks I can maybe find something out that could help. A guy I know who is from Nova Scotia was in a school in the USN that required a 'secret' clearance. He got to this school so quickly after boot camp that he wasn't a citizen of the U.S. but no one relevant knew it (and he didn't know he was supposed to be a citizen). 6 months into a 7 month school they found out he wasn't a Citizen yet and a few people had minor heart attacks. But he was allowed to finish the school and they got the Citizenship problem cleared up amazingly fast. I'll drop the guy an email and ask him if he knows how it happened, how it was done, etc. (i.e. who he went to in the CoC or who in the CoC 'took care of business' and how they did it).Mike/wulfie [/B]
