SC/DV is good to have. Probably Solaris skills would be better than the Windows stuff.

Hate to be picky, but DV may expire as soon as you leave the Service unless you have a need for it. You don't get the same grace periods as you do with the lower levels. Check with your SSO.Blog? What blog...?Comment

Is there a requirement to re-vet people that rejoin within a year of leaving, other than in exceptional circumstances?
There is no requirement to re-vet staff that rejoin within a year of leaving, other than in exceptional circumstances. Where a security clearance needs to be transferred the receiving Personnel authority/company should phone the DBS NSV Helpdesk (01904 662644) at the outset to find out whether an individual holds a clearance and to initiate the transfer.

Originally posted by Wanderer View PostHmm, if you've already been DV vetted then getting it again for some future role isn't going to be a big job for the vetting agency, is it. I mean, they will have already been through all the life history and "I stole a sweetie when I was 5 years old" stuff so it will just be doing a credit check and looking to see if you've joined the Taliban in the last 6 months or whatever, won't it?Comment

A friend of mine who left the Royal Signals with no real world experience got snapped up pretty quickly and he had a similar level of clearance as you. His main gripe now is that the work is similar to what he did in uniform (although the pay is better even though he was asked to go perm after six months) and is looking for a new challenge.Comment
