If you have to ask - then you do not have one.
Note: There are no longer any 'security clearances' as such. Instead you have an 'access eligibility' that turns in to a 'personal clearance' when combined with a 'need to know.' The moment you no longer have a 'need to know' your personal clearance goes away.

First of all, discussing your security clearance on an open forum is what one would consider really, really bad form. If you indeed did hold a clearance, you'll know what I mean about that.
Usually, when someone no longer requires a clearance they are de-indoctrinated, but reactivating a clearance is generally a fairly painless, if paperwork-intensive process. The best way to find out would be to contact the security officer of your former unit and ask him directly.

Those records would be on file with the FBI, which is the orginization that conducted your background check. This actually came in handy for me, because, while working with an electrical contractor, we had to do some work in a warehouse on a military installation, and background checks were required. Fortunately, both me and my supervisor still had active security clearance from our military service, so we were able to start the job immediatly.
I believe the background check stands for ten years depending on the position that required the check in the first place.

you don't have a security clearance once you have left the military, although the clearance you once had is still on record with several different agencies (ie. CID, FBI, DOD,).and depending upon how high your clearance was there are a few other agencies.

I would hope your security managers would let you know if it had been rescinded. If not, I'd be more worried about the security of the agency with whom you are all associated than your particular clearance status.

If it's been more than five years since you were issued a clearance, you don't have one anymore.

That's just scary if you are supposed to be cleared for information and you don't know it.
