Why would anyone wanna get a TS/SCI and do govt consulting? I came from that world...painful

Well if it's a full scope, be prepared to expose your soul

Backlog is probably counted in years right now

Assuming you don't already have a clearance, you're essentially going from zero to hero. So, a lot.

5 years should be fine. Don't try to hide anything or the outcome is worse. Be truthful on SF86 cause that stays with you forever, and if you change an answer later in process it won't look good. I told them about my friends Mary Jane and the abominable snowman and have a TS/SCI. My use was 7 years prior to poly date, probably 5 from the time I first filled out an SF86 for a secret.

One more question! Any thought on how much o e would be worth over the next five years? Extra 100k? 500k?

Way less than that.

Depends. TS SCI with a full scope poly?

No idea. Was just listed as TS/SCI.

Have you ever not had sexual relations with an individual not the same gender as you?

Backlog to get one? I'm not concerned about that. I have done some things when I was younger but nothing in years. Clean record, clean heart, and clean soul ❤️

Generally the focus is the last 10 years

Definitely a big backlog. Plenty of hoops to jump through as well. I know a girl who started the process January 16 and is still waiting

It only matters that you're in process

To answer your question: it involves a full documentation of your life to date. Employment, education, personal references, etc. They will interview you, the references you list, and some references you don't list to assess integrity and vulnerability to blackmail. This process will be tougher if you have extensive foreign travel, foreign contacts, or problems with money.

What does that stand for and why do u need jt

I have some foreign travel. What are the specifics about drug use? That would be my only concern, but again, it's been five years. Thanks fam.

Foreign travel only matters if you are in Middle East or Russian, they don't care about your caribbean vaca. They do check every box though. Showed up at my apartment 2 years after I had moved out and asked the residents if they knew me.
