Is there some way I could do military computing without a clearance?
I applied to the US Air Force Cyber Command as well as all manner of military computer security jobs. I received but one response, that my application to be an encryption machine trainer was declined.

- engi_nerd 11y agoI am not an absolute authority on this. But my decade of experience in the defense industry tells me "probably not".
- MichaelCrawford 11y agoThen I expect the best contribution I could make is to continue writing. I was an unclassified subcontractor once. The primary contractor selected me for my expertise with "the part". What he should have done was to ask me to select the vendor. The part I was asked to write code for had quite a serious design flaw.

"'The client' is really, really happy with all the prototype boards that we just soaked The American Taxpayer for." "Great. Please tell 'The Client' that YOU SELECTED THE WRONG "PART!" Click. I have the idea that I could offer the consulting service of selecting 'The Parts' to the extent they are unclassified. They often are. But I dont have the first clue as to how to get started. Among my concerns is that some contractors dont want to pay someone to tell them how to avoid cost overruns.
- engi_nerd 11y agoPlease do continue writing. I enjoy your writing very much.
