OK OK I have TS with AR NOW With my contract soon ending where do I find my next overseas post in construction? They dont start new embassys every day.
Is Dallas, TX a dry area when it comes to intelligence jobs? I see listings for many intelligence jobs but none in Dallas. I can’t relocate and wonder what options are available in Dallas.
I am self employee IT Consultant; I need to get a clearance in order to get the DOD IT consultant position from behalf of my company.
My question is what kind of clearance do I needed and how much will cost?
Aqueel – you cannot obtain a clearance on your own. You must be sponsored by the government, military, or an authorized defense contractor that is a cleared facility.
I have just been hired at my dream job and discovered they require a security clearance. I have worked on rebuilding my credit, however, I have 2 DWI’s on my record that I am concerned about. The first was in 1996. The 2nd was in 2001. Since then, I have had no encounters with the courts/police. Will this prevent me from security clearance in NH?
Erica, the most important thing is full disclosure and an appropriately serious interview with you investigator. Avoid over explaining, denials can always be appealed.
I have contracted for 4 years in Iraq, and now have been put in for a SC. I had a job termination in 2000 for breach of trust. A coworker got hurt at work and lied about how is his injury happened and I did not dispute his story and was terminated. Will this be a problem? Also I have not filed Fed taxes in 3 years but have no Fed leins on anything. Plan to file and square up this spring. Had a state tax lein on my credit and just paid it off for 8200, Will either of these be a problem?
I have had DUI convictions in 87,83,82 will these be a problem. Any advice would be appreciated.
David,
I have 4 years experience adjudicating SC with DOHA. If you fully disclosed your termination on your SF86 AND your employment application it will not look to good but not a deal breaker yet… Your failing to file taxes are a killer… your tax liens must show paid and up to date or you must be ready and willing to show proof of them being paid… your prior arreest should be mitigated by time…
I hope this helps and if amyonw thinks I’m wrong please advise
Thanks

Several experienced contract investigators were unlawfully suspended for security concerns that were never proven, did not exist, which included a process to defame their characters; disrupting livelihoods; and were judged as a Federal Employees, which they were not.
A contract investigator fighting an unjust claim of being unsuitable by OPM FISD, after working for some time in the industry commited suicide.
The suspensions were conducted by Kathy Dillaman of OPM FISD, her staff to include those of USIS who were contracted by Dillaman to review the work of contract investigators.
Contracting Companies conducting backgrounds for OPM FISD and other agencies for years QUIT the OPM FISD contract (MSM & Omnisec) which caused a loss of over 4 thousand contract investigators and knowledgeable staff, because of OPM FISD abuse of power…
Those wrongfully accused of unproven criminal acts, made every effort to obtain proper due process, but OPM Officials failed in every sense of the word to provide fair and impartial justice, and purposely disregarded all responses and correspondence. The offices included: Director of OPM; OPM Inspector General; OPM FISD and the OPM General Counsel.
Dillaman, Director of OPM FISD purposely delays all inquiries against her, and her office, by ignoring all requests and appeals, which in it self is the route to the delays of security backgrounds. All those of OPM FISD had deliberately ignored our Constitutional and Federal Laws, Regulations and OPM Notices. Even the OPM General Counsel’s Office to include the OPM IG ignored all responses for a request of due process.
OPM FISD continuous deception and delays, is an endless road. The lack of fair and impartial justice not given and abuse of power, by those within OPM is the real reason for the backlog. Those great man and woman, with extensive experience, that have been conducting security backgrounds for years, under contract, are leaving the business, because of Dillaman and her staff’s unethical practices of abuse and injustice..
There are people in the business that can correct the backlog of security backgrounds in months, but because of the reputation of injustice and abuse of power, to include deception of OPM FISD, it will never be corrected.
This country depends on our soldiers and agents in the field, to protect us. Since the 80’s those soldiers and agents continued after retirement, as contract investigators, conducting Security Background Investigations for little money and got the job done, out of patriotism, and loyalty, but now we have those that are greedy, incompetent running our country’s security, like OPM FISD who has over 90% of the Security Background Investigative duties and can’t get it done – we deserve everything we get, if this country and those in our government don’t wakeup NOW.
