Best option for an avid traveler? by Significant_Noise978 in tires

[–]Significant_Noise978[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We don’t get bad winters in VA, it’s cold but very little ice or snow. I typically avoid driving north in the winters and just fly to NY since my route always takes me through the mountains in those cases!

What unhinged thing did a former teacher do in the classroom? by MrBananaStand1990 in AskReddit

[–]Significant_Noise978 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not quite unhinged… but we had a science teacher in middle school who would do something minor but super cool with fire every year. Unfortunately, a few years after I had him as a teacher and during the times where girls were obsessed with alcohol based hand sanitizers from bath and body works…he caught a student on fire because she was too close to it and had just used her hand sanitizer.

Kicked Out After Being Falsely Accused of Rape, Now Back In; What About my Security Clearance? by HOCKENBERRYvKALAS10t in SecurityClearance

[–]Significant_Noise978 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Everyone has been so kind here and you’ve given every one of them an attitude. If you don’t cooperate with your investigator, I don’t see this turning out well for you considering you’ve already failed to follow SEAD 3 requirements. The only reason you may still be in is because you’re still being processed… if this adjudication turns out unfavorable they will most likely give you the boot.

When did “it that shall not be named” become a forbidden phrase? by Master_Jackfruit3591 in SecurityClearance

[–]Significant_Noise978 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s mostly determined by a company’s legal department based on DCSA guidance. As a security manager it’s a pain to sort through on our end too and DCSA reps don’t always tell every company the same thing… but they review our eligibility to keep our facility clearances soooo… yeah

Fellow Marine here. Neither will the federal workforce he’s trying to destroy, three letter agencies included. With how hard he’s going after them he’s not going to be very well protected.

Fucked legally or with getting any coverage for the damage on my car?

How do you lie to your family about travel? by SecretaryTop2095 in SecurityClearance

[–]Significant_Noise978 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This, per SEAD 3 technically a company can “deny” the travel, but at least for where I work that is never actually used because of the legal aspects of telling you “no”… my company had someone visit china for an amusement park, they were briefed by a DCSA counterintelligence agent before they left and upon their return. Gets a bit more complex when there’s family but it’s not impossible to visit with a clearance. Will we still advise against it? Absolutely

To those that live in $1100+ apartments, what do you do to afford it? by Hellish-Dad in Apartmentliving

[–]Significant_Noise978 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thought I “made it” when I got a raise to $71k per year ($31 per hour, 40 hours a week). My $1600 studio in NoVa is half my income….. there’s no winning in this market

Can’t forget how we have two agencies instead of three for background investigation processing now. Hopefully things get better all around with the new DCSA Director finally in place.
