I like it.
I bet his mama is real proud...NOT
he’s black so no one can say no
He’s still a suspect??
I knew a guy who joined the Navy in 1982. He was promised a rate that required a secret clearance. They had to send him home from boot camp because he failed the clearance check. He had a speeding ticket on his record.
I worked for an employer where many of the old-timers still working there remember when being a homosexual would have gotten you fired. It would have been seen as a security risk because homosexuals were considered to be mentally unstable. Now they have homo week every year and people who utter the words ‘fag’ or ‘queer’ get fired because that’s discrimination. The old guys just shake their heads whenever they talk about it. The guys who remember the cold war are retiring or dieing off at an alarming rate. The knowledge and experience of the workforce is slowly draining away. Their replacements can’t even hold a candle to ‘em.
Hell, I know a younger guy with felony drug charges in his past who was given a clearance! I couldn’t believe it when they did that. So what if he’s clean now? He was convicted of dealing drugs at work! They didn’t have to give him a clearance. He could have just worked in uncleared areas. It wouldn’t have effected his paycheck one cent. But, no, there he goes into secure areas to work.
Dammit, we sure are diverse now and that’s what really matters, right? </s
Bravery as School Crossing Guard during Rush Hour?
He got a CCW as well, despite the record. How did THAT happen???
Hewlett Packard.
Might just as well be operating straight out of Mecca.
Why ? Young foreign women marry old Americans for a green card (and ‘love’) every day by the dozens.
Young foreign men can play that game too.
**Naval Intelligence**?
For the app for the Peace Corps, every neighbor on my street got interrogated by the FBI. LOL

To #34: Did Obama order the American flag flown at half-mast for the Ft. Hood victims and for the Little Rock, Ark. terrorist attack that killed an Army recruiter and wounded another?
If I remember correctly, there was a 6-9 month background check by the FBI talking to everyone down to my kindergarten year in grade school.
When I’d go home on leave I’d hear “there were men in suits here asking about you” and stuff like that.
I thought the NSA's job has always been SIGINT, not running around neighborhoods doing flat-footed security interviews and such.
I recall back in 1993, when a neighbor was being investigated. I got a letter from Michele T. with the Defense Investigative Service, Investigative Field Office (D11BN), located in Boston. She had tried to reach me by phone without success.
The letter said:
[Neighbor] is being considered for a position of trust in support of our national defense. The Defense Investigative Service has responsibility for conducting a thorough background investigation to determine this person's suitability for such a sensitive position.In conjunction with this investigation, it is necessary that I interview you. I have been unable to contact you ...
I gave her a call and stated I had nothing negative to say about [Neighbor], and that was that.
The person being investigated was president of a software company which made cross-compiler tools potentially of interest to military contractors.

Sounds like the Department of Defense dropped the ball on giving him a security clearance.
When my dad got his security clearance back in the early fifties, the government sent people to his hometown to interview people. My mom says it was a big deal back then, to have these two agents asking teachers and acquaintances about my dad.
Yeah. They took security a little more seriously back then, that is for sure.
I cannot stand that we put the flag at half staff for all of these things. I hate it. It seems like we are perpetually putting the flag at half staff, and I feel in my bones that it is fostering some kind of victimhood mentality.
It isn’t healthy and it isn’t right.
This is not to say I don’t feel sympathy or respect for the victims, I just am repulsed by this constant state of...mandated national sorrow.
