Security clearance

[reccon]

The most important thing about applying for clearance is that you tell the truth. If you have a driving offence and you dont disclose it, they will find out and your clearance will probably be rejected. Not because of the offence but because you have not mentioned it and they dont want to take the risk of anything else you have "forgotten" to mention

Is it true that for DV they require details of all previous partners and relationships, and that they interview those people?
I seem to recall something similar in the RAF, but maybe I'm wrong.

Wage in 'pray they don't speak to the ex' mode.

WageSlave1: Don't be silly, she could be ex-KGB, as long as she is not French you are OK. They will interview some people, some interviews are formal, some don't realise they are being interviewed...

During my interview I was asked what I thought about Americans?!

I instantly replied with "well bush is a bit of an idiot"....Doh!

I still got it though.
