Nobody special is a good thing.....

Oh and Pb, 3 years?! Um, I'm just going for a Secret clearance here, nothing special. From everything I've read it should take no longer to get an answer either way within 4 months. I haven't killed anyone, stolen from any employers or anyone else for that matter. 3 years? Yea, I suppose if I lived a fascinating life, but I ain't nobody special, just a man who loves his country in all its capitalistic glory.
3 years due to Chap 7 filing after paperwork was submitted. Also I am an
FSO and a KMP....Facility Security Officer and Key Management Personnel and
at the time I submitted my paperwork there was a backlog of close to a
million clearance investigations over a year old.......considering I had to
make a Statement and amend my paperwork AFTER submission and considering it
was at the worst time, it is understandable......but I had my interim within
2 months, and an interim gives you the same authority so in actuality I had
a clearance. It sat in DOHA for 2 years waiting to be adjudicated.....at
that time the industrial or civilian clearance investigations were SUPPOSED
to transition over to OPM but that never happened so then DOHA had to start
picking up the pace......
OH AND,Don't laugh about killing someone.....I know a guy that committed
manslaughter and he has a Secret Clearance.....so you see, maybe all is not
lost.......in his case I believe they looked at the whole issue and decided
that he was still a good person, with good character......
