Clearances last 5 years before the reinvestigation period comes up. They are only valid as long as they are being used, for instance when you left AFROTC and if you had a clearance there, you should have been debriefed and your clearance status put in inactive. You have the clearance, it's a simple admin thing they have to do to reactivate it, but if at the reinvestigation period you are not actively using your clearance, it expires and you have to redo the entire process (i think, i am not sure exactly what happens when it expires).
