General Information
The purpose of the HMX-1 Applicant Interview/Pre-screening Form is to determine if the applicant is eligible to receive a Top Secret security clearance, and also meets the criteria set forth by the Secretary of the Navy (SECNAV) for assignment to Presidential Support Duty (YANKEE WHITE). The screening form allows the Commanding Officer to determine, in advance, whether or not an applicant meets the security qualifications for highly restrictive programs. Personnel assigned to HMX-1 who do not meet the security criteria are transferred, which is why filling out the screening and forwarding to HMX-1 Security Administration is so vital. In order to more accurately assess eligibility for the Yankee White program,
HMX-1 requests applicants include a current credit report from each of the three major credit reporting bureaus (Equifax, Experian, & TransUnion). Annualcreditreport.com provides one free report every year from each bureau. If found ineligible for security reasons, the applicant will not be assigned to HMX-1, per current Navy, Defense Department, and White House Military Office directives. Any questions regarding the screening process should be directed to HMX-1 Security Administration (contact info provided below in the "Notes" section).
For more information regarding the opportunities at HMX-1, open the "Recruiting Brief" (located under the Documents tab on the right side of the page).
Note for CSO Applicants: referd to the guidelines for applicants included on the "Communications" page ("Headquaters">"S-6 Comm.").
