I know a bunch of folks who have done stuff like this. You will work very hard which is fine because there is not much else to do. And you will be safer than you would in most major cities in the US.
Secret clearance = no drugs in the last year, no bad credit, no criminal record, and no contact with members of unfriendly governments.
Definitely a great way to fund a startup. Hadn't thought of that!
- rms 19y agoI've heard that you can't have smoked marijuana more than 15 times in your life in order to get a government clearance.
- uuilly 19y agoNot true at all. Once clean year is all you need. TRUST ME. They're not looking for boy scouts, they're just looking for honest people. Questioning applicant's soft drug use is just a great way of smoking out dishonest people (no pun intended.) If you're not honest about the little things, then you won't be honest about the big things. They are looking for threats to national security not someone who got high in college. I worked in the defense / intel world for a long time and I never knew anyone who was honest on their app who did not get their clearance. Everyone I know who lied, even a little bit eventually got caught and lost their jobs. If you ever want a higher clearance you'll have to take a polygraph and you won't beat that no matter how many tricks you read on the internet...
- rms 19y agoWell, that's always good to know. :) Thanks.
