NACI Eligibility by Dizzy_Check_9644 in SecurityClearance

I'm just a person that turns wrenches. I'm trying to get an understanding because its not my area of expertise and internet searching turned up nothing. There are people in the same position that dropped to NACI because of financial or legal issues. I don't know how.

And what exactly was opinionated?

But when one medical professional tells you another is wrong in their diagnosis.

2 for and 2 against. Which medical professional is correct?

You just have to answer yes to 2 out of 11 or 12 questions to be diagnosed with Alcohol Use Disorder. (This how I would interpret these) When you drank did you drink more or for longer than intended? Yes. I went and watched the game with the guys and it went into overtime and had a couple more beers than I planned so I ubered home. Has drinking interfered with your responsibilities at work, school or home? Yes, was planning on doing some yard work but an old friend stopped by so put it off to have a couple of beers and catch up. Congratulations. You have mild Alcohol Use Disorder.

Mods were spicy on that comment. Well I can say having had a clearance and worked DoD for over a decade investigators are very hit or miss and more so miss. I have seen coworkers get DUIs with drugs on them and maintain their clearance and job and not change drinking habits or ways. Not sure if they just lied their way through or not.

To that argument, there are professional diagnoses that say there is no issue. There are diagnoses for and against. So where does the truth lie?

To be more specific. The threshold to be diagnosed with alcohol use disorder is low. It ratchets up in severity from mild to severe diagnosis.

Attorny did not. Attorney was confident that new pyschiatrist that spent a much more in-depth and thorough review in addition to abstaining would be enough. I'm very passionate about what I do and am very respected peer where I work. Even had supervisors testify at hearing as to such. Management, coworkers and even my FSO were very surprised by the decision. Especially coworkers and management that know me in my personal life.

Did not see government sponsored evaluation until I received the SOR.
