I have had a Secret Clearance for over 4 years, my top secret investigation closed four months ago, after receiving my Interium TS back in Dec 06. Rumor has it another 2 months will do it,but I am about to change jobs. Is there anyway for a 3rd part to hold my clearance, until fully granted TS. I plan to utilize it at a TS level, most likely as a contractor.
I am looking for part-time work,to possibly keep foot in door and active until complete.
I have been offered a job by a DOD contracting company that requires a secret clearance. I am currently working in the airline industry so I have had my FBI fingerprints done and a 10 year background done with no problems.
My question is in about 1986 I was charged with a DUI pled guilty, paid a fine. I had never even had a ticket until then so I did no community service or probation. Since then I have not had even one ticket I have good credit and never had any illegal drug use. Do you see any problem for me getting an interim and actually getting the secret clearance?
Hello I need to ask a very concerning question. I have 17.5 yrs time in service. I am in the process of redoing my sf 86 and purchased an online backround check. I found out that there is an open warrant in Texas on me from 2002 and all I know is it states theft 1500 misdemeanor crime. I can not for the life of imagine what this is about. I have hired a lawer to look into it. How is this going to effect my reinvestigation I currently hold a secret clearence and it is required for my next mission to the sand box. I know usually once the sf86 is submitted your current cleaence is extended
A slight update to this the case states theft more than $500 less then $1500 I have not been stationed in Texas since 2003. I am hopinmg the case gets either dismissed or settled out of court. Thereher incedents are no other negative items on the sf 86
