Thanks Doug. From what I understand is that the positiion that I was offered today (WOO HOO) I may _someday_ need a clearance, and the company would get it. They asked me if I thought that I couldn't for any reason, and I honestly told them that I did not know why not, so I should be good...

>To get a clearance you must be hired into a job which requires one - only then
>can your employer apply for your clearance.  The employer must then subsidize
>you until the clearance is obtained.  (Not a lot of these around)

>Catch-22 situation.   If you are not employed in a security job, then you cannot
>get a clearance.
>The alternative is to join the national guard, get a security billet, and they
>will do the grunt work for you.  Once it is obtained, then you can apply for the
>jobs that have a security clearance as a prerequisite.

>Secret clearances are usually an agency check for convictions you have not

>Top Secret, requires individual investigation and can take up to two years these

>If you are foreign born, you can almost forget the idea of getting one.
