So I officially became a poolee yesterday (8/2), my ship date is 20120514, pretty pumped. There are a couple DD contracts available for my ship date (which is my first choice), so I'm hoping to have a shot at landing one of those.

Obviously getting the TS clearance will be key in getting one of those spots, and that is where my question comes in. I have been to a few different colleges (1 University and 2 community colleges) since graduating from high school, but I never actually finished any classes. Never had time/motivation/whatever early on in my life. When I told my recruiter that and it came to the point on the National Security questionnaire he said since I never accrued any credits that it was irrelevant so we left that out. Today, I asked him again to be sure and he assured me that they only want to know it for "promotion purposes". I told him I didn't want it to come back to bite me in the ass down the road and would rather just add it in. He said it was no big deal. I need to know if this is one of those times that I need to go over his head and insist it get put in my records.

Thanks in advance.

You can include that on the security questionnaire, but the question specifically asks you to provide the name and address of the last school from which you received a degree or diploma, no matter how long ago it was received.
