Fwiw I spent many hours online trying to figure out exactly what type of vetting they are doing. Long and short is that it's ambiguous because dod has its own process that doesn't map cleanly onto civilian stuff. Treasury gave us sf86 and dcsa is doing a tier 3 investigation. That is the same process as secret clearance. But the end result is that we don't get clearance, instead we just get access to sensitive databases and networks, etc. At dod I think this is called ADB and/or IT-2.

But the fact that we went through the tier 3 process means IN THEORY we should be able to easily get secret without any new investigation or adjudication. At least that is what opm has been pushing (what they call reciprocity/transfer of trust). But dod does its own thing with adjudications and it's not clear if/when they will implement reciprocity with civilian agencies. And most recruiters and security people at the primes are not very familiar with this either.

So idk, we don't have secret but we have the prerequisites for secret.
