You also have to have something stating that you're paying on whatever it is (loan etc.)

You can't just go in there flinging BS around

Dude my credit is shot to death. My clearnce got approve. The only thing i put down was i deferred on my student loans. The catch is being honest.
  

You're a rare case then. Either that or your credit isn't as "shot to death" as you're putting it. 

Right.

once the clearance was granted, they took that along with their degree and opted for other opportunities

Wow, that's something I would actually consider.    I didn't even know that was a possibility.

Everybody else, thanks for the tips and suggestions.   I truly appreciate all of the help.

try checking Chugach and Omniplex also.

the jobs suck but they will clear you

Yea if your credit is really "shot" then so are your chances. I just went thru my 5 year update and it almost makes me not wanna move with a roommate just to avoid any need to give information on them. The best thing to do when applying is EXPLAIN anything that looks bad. The HR specialists don't have any info to go off of unless you provide it. Don't think they're gonna keep calling you up asking for further explanations, if they call at all. I had a few speeding tickets (reckless) I was worried about lol, should I be? Srs
