Security Clearance (SC) Q&A Read first before asking questions

[malvolio]

Indeed. In general I don't think a non-criminal activity would be a problem (excluding excessive debt, gambling or alcohol addiction), but do SC sponsors pass any information to the vetting agency if they walk someone off site?

Dunno. But blowing the AUP may be noted as a breach of trust. Depends who the client was really.

Agreed, although that particular peccadillo is noting to do with security clearance directly, more a breach of your client's Acceptable Use policy.

Have you read any of this thread?

As stated many many times, nobody knows. To find out you need to apply.

if she blurts out some information provided for your vetting process then complain to the vetting agency about her. They'll clip her wings and possibly remove her clearance.

Will do, thank you

Im not trying to hide anything from the vetting officer just from MG. She is very judgmental and have a big mouth lol

I don't know how many more times we have to say it...

The test is not "Have you been naughty?", they already know that. The test is "Are you honest and trustworthy". How hard is that to understand?

I have no criminal record and never been charged with anything - however, some are advising to list any and every encounter you've ever had with the police. Is this really necessary, especially if the question on the form is not directly asking you to list such a thing? If one has a clean criminal record, is it necessary to revisit silly years as a rowdy youth and list things that are unlikely to even show up on local police records?

Thanks in advance

yes.......

Just be honest. If you tell them something they don't know it's not that likely to affect the outcome. If you omit to tell them something they know, it's far more likely to affect the outcome.

There are plenty of people with serious criminal convictions that obtain SC clearance.
