I don't think so but maybe someone with military experience can answer that.I know the military doesn't vet prospective soldiers in the same way the FBI, the CIA, etc. vets their own prospective federal agents, no thorough background checks and interviewing neighbors, relatives, etc.
They did with my daughter for her security clearance (went as far back as interviewing her teachers from Jr High).
Wouldn't an officer have to undergo a security clearance as well?
I'm not sure if an officer automatically has to have a security clearance. The girlfriend may be joining the Navy Nurse Corps as an officer and she was told she would need one.
But that might be because she'd be privy to medical records.
I was enlisted and had to go through a top secret clearance, they dug back to my EARLY childhood.
