ReconRat Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 (edited) ^^^^ Not to mention I've held and maintained a TSSBI...Me too, TS for US Army, US Navy, and US Air Force. And several unspecified foreign military. Including background checks of records in Scotland Yard, Interpol, etc. Some searches I won't even name. But mine is now expired.Somewhat funny... I've had fingerprints taken more times than I can count. The modern gear sends it in digital and responds with a basic background check after a short wait. The guy is telling me this, and before he can finish the sentence, my results are back. It didn't do that for anyone else....

ohdaho Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 too bad a TS alone wont allow you in the door to most of the NSA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReconRat Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 too bad a TS alone wont allow you in the door to most of the NSA.Nope, but what will get you there is sending them an application to be a translator.They will do their checks on their own and call you, even visit you.They need translators, a lot of them. At least it used to be like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReconRat Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 (edited) I was thinking youll need higher clearances.It varies. Not everyone has higher clearances, only the ones that need them. Most can be upgraded if there is a need. I had a "roving" badge, allowed to go pretty much anywhere I wanted. And it meant escorting others to various places. But there were places even I couldn't go, that had the same clearances, but a different task. You never know. I remember a guy at a desk near me working on something that he wasn't allowed to show or talk about. And yeah, there are places like NSA where I would expect pretty severe compartmentalization. A need to know.It gets weird sometimes... In the Army, I had to go to another building, and open the commanding officer's secret mail if he wasn't there. It can't wait, it has to be done right away. I only did it once, and inside was another envelope addressed to the guy that handed it to me. There ya go, have a nice day.

downwithdisease Posted April 6, 2012 Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 Over 3 billion for 700 jobs. Thank god I work 75 days for the government (taxes) to waste my money like this. Maybe if we stopped poking everyone else's bees nest we wouldn't have national security problems. -Speak softly but carry a big stick. -If Tyranny and Oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy.If we listened to our past leaders our country wouldn't need to spend 6x the 2nd place spender on defense (40% of world defense spending). We could allocate that money to rebuilding the infrastructure of our crumbling country. Did I mention rebuilding infrastructure creates jobs. Sorry for the thread jack but GD this pisses me off. 1984 in real life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But for fun, we could talk about catching spies. They were always interesting (and not too bright). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
