First you must have a demonstrated need to have access to classified
material (that's US Gov't Classified not business classified). Then you
need to submit the reams of paperwork through your security officer that
will initiate the SBI. This is the stuff where you write down
everything you ever did in your life and who you did it with. You also
include a list of everyone you know. Then they go around interviewing
everyone and you to see if you really told the truth. They get
extremely personal to borderline embarassing with the questions. Then
the mysterious clearance blesser in D.C. muddles over all this and if
you are found worthy then you get it. With today's security climate
this is not an easy process.
There are also drawbacks to the clearance. It is a forced barrier in
relationships. Hi Honey I'm home. .. No my day really sucked. .. No,
Dear, I can't tell you why. ... After a while conversations like that
tend to create tensions even though both parties understand the reasons
for the secrecy. I'm glad not to have to deal with that in my job.

It is my understanding that it currently takes 1.5 to 2 years to get this
clearence mainly due to events of 9/11. So, if you have one, it behooves you to keep
it current.
They used to estimate these clearences were worth
an additional $10K a year for salary. Im thinking
at least $25K now. Alot of my friends that have
these clearances , whether they be DBAs, programmers,
Sys. Ads. etc, have standing offers for work in many
places around the world due to the fact these clearances
are very hard to get.
Also, the companies will not foot the bill for this
delay. The government usually has to approve all hires
where the individual is not cleared. From what I have
seen the government is in no mood to do this as of
late.
FWIW !

I don't understand the large number of positions coming out that require
a CURRENT Secret or Top Secret clearance. How can all these positions
be filled unless these company/entities start footing the bill for
people getting the clearances?!?
