#1 Actually getting a clearance can be very valuable. I just heard ads on a DC radio station offering a $25K signing bonus for people with a TS/SCI clearance.

Too bad mine expired twenty years ago.

#2 This guy is FOS. We don't ask you to re-state everything on your SF-86. My 86 is 73 pages. We ask a few starter questions to A - get the person comfortable talking to an investigator and B - to verify we are talking to the person. I've done this interview many times. The interview questions are written by gubmit lawyers - the investigators just follow the script. What a douche.

#5 Spousal Unit just went through a security clearance update; they did read all the questions and to add insult told her she had perjured herself regarding education; seems a secretary at her alma mater gave bad gouge regarding degree status. Took several days to correct S.U. Fedex'ed certified copy of diploma to Mr big headlildick to prove actuals.
