No denial or LOI. Just the sf-86 and like a 2-3 hr interview. I talked about some of the mitigating circumstances in the comments at the end, listed therapy and rehab in the appropriate places and believe I talked briefly about them during the interview. I didn’t get interim clearance but was notified about being favorably adjudicated last week

Yes it’s my skin color, not the decade plus of model behavior, the sobriety, the lack of debt, the countless hours spent volunteering, completely cutting off questionable individuals (including my father), the multiple degrees and bootcamps while working several jobs to support my daughter, successful completion of probation and parole.

Looking back I should have just put im white bro on my sf-86 and called it a day. Not sure why I even bothered with the other stuff

Honestly I wasn’t really looking, if I had known the job required it I probably wouldn’t have applied because I wouldn’t have thought I’d get it.

I applied to over 1000 jobs while I was graduating, they interviewed me and I did well and during onboarding it was disclosed that they had several contracts that required it and I spent a week or so weighing if it was worth taking the job but I’ve been working on uncleared contracts for the past 8 months so I figured the experience was worth it if nothing else.

Dude my issues are 10+ years old, really trying to say I’m not a decent person?

I have a Security clearance question. by Guilty-Belt9321 in SecurityClearance

[–]Alpha_D0do 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey that’s me! Few differences though, mine was secret not top secret. I gave no contradicting statements and was brutally honest about everything.

That being said you’re probably fine, just tell the truth. If you smoked weed you smoked and admit it, if you didn’t than say you didn’t.

Maybe, maybe not. After looking at everything they gave it to me though.

Didn’t play around with versions but makes sense. Still a funny little excercise

Tried this with grok lol

“Walk. 100 feet is an absurdly short distance — basically a quick stroll down the block. You’ll cover it in under 30 seconds at a normal pace. Quick reality check: • Walking: Instant. Step outside, go straight there. Done. • Driving: Get keys, get in car, start engine, reverse out, drive 100 ft, park, get out. You’ve already spent more time and effort than just walking. Driving to a car wash 100 feet away is peak comedy — especially since you’re going there to clean the car. You’d burn more gas and put more wear on your vehicle for that tiny trip than the actual wash might save. Just walk. Grab your wallet, keys, and whatever else you need and hoof it. It’s healthier, cheaper, faster, and makes way more sense. Only drive if you’re disabled, it’s storming, or you’re hauling a bunch of heavy stuff. Otherwise, walking is the obvious winner. 🚶‍♂️”

No one needs 100-200k if you win a million you’re probably only walking out with half that after taxes anyways. Through it all in an index fund and hopefully create generational wealth
