Default Re: Anyone in here ever get a security clearance?

Thanks Dukie.

I downloaded the 'application' version (the one you can download off the DSS site). There's a section in there where you provide confidential information and is password protected (supposedly to protect from your security officer, which doesn't really make any sense - unless it's your companies HR person who is the acting 'security officer'). So, I'm curious as to why they would take such careful precautions there only to have you write it all down and pass it around to the HR people in your company?

Also, I'm curious as to how people go about filling in the 'places you've lived' section and then listing at least one person and their current contact information that lived close to you? WTF? I lived in a new place nearly every semester when I was in college. I honestly can't even remember all the places that I lived let alone the name of a neighbor. How on earth do they handle that crap?
