I too took the DLAB (Defense Language Aptitude Battery), Marta's "very rigorous
and bizarre tests". I took these at the processing center in St. Louis where
all the pre-enlistment testing was conducted. Nothing strange happened. I also
went on to attended Russian classes at DLI in San Antonio. Nothing strange
happened here, besides gaining an appreciation of vodka and Tex-Mex cuisine. I
trained at Goodfellow AFB, San Angelo, TX for the classified portion of my job.
Nothing strange happened here, except for my coming to the realization that the
US plays the same shitty games that we accuse other countries of doing. I also
fell asleep during a film about the hazards of intel work that focused on the
Pueblo and Liberty incidents, but that's understandable. I was in a nice dark
room without windows and had just switched from a normal human sleep schedule to
training during the night hours. This was a 3-shift/24 hour training facility.
Marta's foreign travel would have been a plus, but the political friends may
have been a problem, depending on the politics. I doubt her library selections
kept her from obtaining a security clearance. I too checked out books by Marx,
Bakunin, Orwell and other subversives and still received my clearance after a 7
month long investigation. The Army believes the adage "Know Your Enemy!" We
read Pravda, Ogonjok, Krasnaja Zvezda, etc. Marta probably had some character
flaw or undeclared incident discovered by the DIS. Quite a number of things can
prevent a person from receiving a TS/SI clearance: infidelity, financial
ineptitude, promiscuity, a pattern of drug/alcohol abuse, mental instability,
lack of candor and honesty, violent disposition. On my pre-clearance
questionnaire I declared that I would be willing to suspend the constitutional
rights of Nazis and KKK members and that I had tried marijuana an unknown number
of times and "didn't like it". That's a line some of our presidential hopefuls
should learn by rote. ;) Hey, I had to make sure!
I saw a few friends disappear overnight when their clearances were denied for
some of the above reasons. I was surprised at the number of nuts they kept. I
guess MI needs some of those people for a good balance.
I still laugh to myself today when I think of the rigorous process we had to
endure for a clearance and how easy these schmuck politicians skate into
office. I doubt the majority of them would complete the 40-odd page clearance
questionnaire.
