Step 3

All cleared with area clearance in hand! Here was the process.....

After I got my paperwork and my spouses papers, I got 6 folders ( we have 6 in our family). I put all required documents in each folder that was required for that individual (kids need some things adults do not, and I needed several things my kids did not). 

Then I went to our clearance appointment. 
It took under 10 min! The screener did tell me that it was swift because things were neatly organized. So to remove stress on yourself, take the time to make a file for each family member if you have a larger family. It was a breeze. 

By lunch the same day I had the papers all signed, and we had one more stop, at IPAC where we got our area clearance in hand. 

Let me make a point here....if your spouse is not deployed, they can do this part. They are supposed to typically handle IPAC and the paperwork list you get there. However, mine (and I'm sure many others!) are not available to do this. So now I have the Check List from them to complete.
