Easy,

Get a hold to one of the recruiters of my former company (long time ago) at the SORB, and they will gladly take care of you.

Once you receive your acceptance memo you take that to your Career Counselor who will write a memo for S2 to start your TS clearance. Your Career Counselor will use your acceptance letter and 4187 to process your class seat. You'll reenlist for about 5 years. You will get paid if you graduate, the attrition rate is formidable

You’ll have to get accepted first, then your counselor can getter everything going for you TS clearance.
You’ll have to re-enlist but that’s the easy part.
It’s a formidable school so be prepared for that.

I did this back in 2001, I went to the local EOD company, interviewed, submitted my security clearance paperwork, was accepted, worked with the re-enlistment NCO to receive a school date. All you have to do from there is go to school, do well, graduate, and you are then an 89D. Best job I ever had.
