What clearances require drug tests?

Clearances don’t have drug tests. Clearance applications ask you if you’ve done drugs and when and what and how often. And your application is reviewed and you usually have an interview and they may also call your contacts that you’ve listed, friends who’ve known you for many years. And you shouldn’t lie on your application.

Depends on the client not the clearance level

You can’t beat the poly...so if you’re just getting a secret, then hey. I guess you win. Of course you probably have signed multiple documents attesting that you never used drugs. So if you get caught, you’re done, find a new line of work. I’ve processed similar Incident reports, and I generally don’t take pleasure in them, but these people made their own choice. Live with it.

Right. They signed the sf-86. I don't feel bad for people who knowingly lie and then get caught.

I've met several people who do drugs and have TS.

I definitely was.

No clearances but certain agencies do. USPS for one, in my experience.

I heard they really don't go by the poly. Just keep asking you the same questions over and over to see of you're lying and they try to get you to confess.

I'm not taking it lol. Just telling you what I heard.

What’s the best way to include a new role on your resume that does not begin until next summer?

I have never gone to the gym or really worked out, and want to make a change in my life to start exercising. I'm not sure how to handle post-workout showering though.

First time growing out hair and it's coarse/wavy/dry so it takes days for oils to distribute (so oily scalp) due to pushing off washing -- when I do wash, I shampoo only the scalp and will conditioner the rest of my hair. I'm afraid of overwashing, but if I don't wash my hair after I sweat, it will frizz and poof up. Any advice?
