Gentlemen: I was wondering if anyone could tell me what kind of things are reviewed when obtaining a clearance for SF. How stringent are they, and what are the primary areas being researched, in terms of background?
Also, at which point is it done / initiated (at what stage during training)? Do some guys make it to very late in the game, and then get dropped for failing to obtain their clearance? Does anyone know what the more common reasons for failing to obtain a clearance might be?
Is it a Secret or TS? From what I read, 18F's need TS. Is that correct?
Also, if anyone might know a good online resource for this sort of thing- maybe an outline, or something to that effect- it'd be appreciated.
Grateful for any response.
