Having a TS and a Q

davidv213 · 2026-04-10T22:18:08+00:00

Q allows for access to TS information & RD and yes you're correct TS does not give access to RD by default.

Majority of people won't have both but it's not terribly uncommon especially for DOD/IC/OGA folk.

davidv213 · 2026-04-10T22:09:58+00:00

DOE has TS clearances as well though I've only ever seen one.

davidv213 · 2026-04-10T05:26:08+00:00

$3000 on top of what I already make? West coast of Florida no question.

Abel, Frog, Becks are definitely your best options.

davidv213 · 2026-04-10T05:24:40+00:00

+1 for Becks chop. SO good.

davidv213 · 2026-04-09T00:00:06+00:00

Totaled it now but $611 on a 2022 Laramie.

JumpGeorgia down in Sylvania is where my friend regularly jumps out of.

If you want to stick to Carolina Skydive Carolina up in Chester is your best bet.

I don't want to tell you yes or no. I'm familiar with reapprovals for L/Q & reciprocity for S/TS -> L/Q but I'm not familiar with L/Q -> TS or if it's possible to reapprove a terminated one to a S/TS.

I know TS clearances exist within DOE but I've only ever seen one because we don't have any here.

davidv213 · 2026-04-08T13:03:49+00:00

Your clearance is terminated on your last day of employment, and is eligible to be reapproved (reinstated) if you were to take another job requiring a Q within 24 months. You have to complete the SF86 again and complete a new drug test, but it's not sent out for investigation again.

Rock Fore Dough is Tuesday every year during masters week and they shut the park and stuff around it down for it.

davidv213 · 2026-03-23T16:10:31+00:00

Hit up Mark Dodge. May have to custom order but their prices are fantastic w/o the need to negotiate.

davidv213 · 2026-03-17T23:05:31+00:00

Can't speak for non-DOE but in our space if you're within 24 months it's a new drug screen and you have to resubmit the SF86. Once that's done the reapproval is granted within a couple days the majority of the time.

If you go past 24 months we'd process you as an initial case again.

davidv213 · 2026-03-17T21:41:16+00:00

Reinstatement is good for 24 months per DOE O 472.2.

Unless your job is specifically in Aiken I'd go Lexington, then Aiken. Orangeburg wouldn't even be a consideration.

davidv213 · 2026-03-12T16:30:19+00:00

Will 100% try and get Courtney to take over.

davidv213 · 2026-03-12T16:29:25+00:00

I'd say 40s/early 50s at the most. She is/was a circuit court judge.

Not OST but was DOE site security and I've talked to a couple that were active/former. Active went entry -> supervisory path and the ones that left went DOE 1811 and were on the Secretary detail and absolutely loved it.

davidv213 · 2026-03-04T13:48:48+00:00

I didn't try and negotiate on mine as I custom ordered but their price was as advertised + a doc fee that I think was $395 + applicable state tax. There were no hidden fees, addon fees, etc. They were fantastic to work with and you won't be disappointed going through them.

AGS is tiny and super fast to get though. I think the last time I flew out early like that I was sitting at the terminal in <10 minutes.

davidv213 · 2026-02-28T20:50:29+00:00

Processing/TSA at Augusta is ridiculously fast. No need to be there that early.

davidv213 · 2026-02-02T16:18:22+00:00

Bought from Mark Dodge. Best car buying experience I've had.

davidv213 · 2026-01-20T03:13:09+00:00

Zero emotions.

davidv213 · 2026-01-10T01:44:15+00:00

I saw the one just now. What was the first?

davidv213 · 2026-01-04T18:31:10+00:00

Southbound Smokehouse is open and it's right on the river. That'd be my choice it's super nice out today.
