To get a TS, you must be enroute to a school and/or duty position that requires it, i.e. a need to know.
If that is the case, someone in your BN or BDE S2 can get you started.
If that is not the case, your eQIP will be kicked back.

Granted my perspective is old, very old, but I can't imagine that much has changed in this regards. I held TOP SECRET/CRYPTO/SIOP-ESI (I imagine the last designation may have changed). There were other clearances but even the names were classified. I received these clearances out of the necessity of my position as operations officer for a strategic communications center (USARPAC). I never heard of anyone receiving any clearance beyond the basic SECRET unless it was necessary for them to accomplish their duties. Thus, I would expect that you too must rise to some position requiring a TOP SECRET clearance before you would receive it.

SSG William Jones CPT Jack Durish Secret was what I had as Security Forces for the 741st MS in Minot - and those were nukes. Wasn't even eligible for higher until now - now that I've joined a different AFSC w/ the need for TS.

Private Thompson, saying "yes" just now discredited any "need" to have one, and shows it is only a "want."
The Army does not really care about what you "want" if you need a TS for a position, or deployment, etc. then they will give you one. If there is no need for one, the chances of that happening just because are extremely slim.
