    Bro, I don't want any goofy mofo telling me or anyone I can't get a TS/SCI anymore. If a prior felon is able to get one after a period of time, as long as you don't murk anyone ofc, anyone else willing to go through the process can get one. Fanatstic rebound for the guy

    I am glad I found this. On my 20th year of service, I was convicted of a violent felony and sentenced to 6-8 years in prison. The Army denied my retirement and i lost everything. Now i am in a halfway house working construction and trying to pivot into tech. Thank you both for the inspiration.

Like I also have a DoD Clearance BUT I didn’t know that Ex Prisoners/Felons could still get re-authorized & adjudicated for a Security Clearance. 😮😮😮😮 He needs to count his luck and blessings because MOST ex felons don’t get this kind of chance to make this kind of salary especially under the Federal Government.

      High risk credit report can prevent you from getting a clearance. It makes you high risk. If you can prove to them that you have a solid plan in place for repayment. And you are not defaulted and at jeopardy you can still get a clearance. All depends on how willing the interviewer is to work with you. What they write down holds all the weight.
