    Have you been on the bench waiting for this clearance all year?

      No, I already have it but I'm coming up for a 5 year renewal so I just need to be in an SC post to get it done.
      Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

        Eh? I thought clearance lasted for 10 years?
        Eeyore was very glad to be able to stop thinking for a little, in order to say "How do you do" in a gloomy manner to Pooh.
        "And how are you?" said Winnie-the-Pooh.
        Eeyore shook his head from side to side. "Not very how," he said. "I don't seem to felt at all how for a long time."

          10 years in a permy post or 5 as contractor, it lapses after 12 months if you don't use it.

          I've had this confirmed by the security officer at the list X agency where my SC is held.

            Oh ok, that makes sense - I held SC for a while when I was a permie - was told 10 years but lapsed after 6 months if not used.

            It's a pain mine has lapsed as I keep getting called about lots of SC roles
