The change for a new world order creating a mirror image effect on the people, and one organization to decide who gets in and who doesn’t. How can the Pentagon take on another task investigating people, when they can’t find over $9 trillion lost/misplaced/don’t know where it went funds. Who will be losing jobs in the changeover?
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Defense Department is poised to take over background investigations for the federal government, using increased automation and high-tech analysis to tighten controls and tackle an enormous backlog of workers waiting for security clearances, according to U.S. officials. The change aims to fix a system whose weaknesses were exposed by the case of a Navy contractor who gunned down a dozen people at Washington’s Navy Yard in 2013. He was able to maintain a security clearance despite concerns about his mental health and an arrest that investigators never reviewed.

Then those what need both TS-CW (28) and SAP (10) will take the three years I estimated.
About that, minimum today. Some never get their clearances. They are simply lost in the shuffle. Program security office have to constantly make status inquiries or else they are lost in those 800,000 clearances that are backlogged.
The sad thing is program can claim higher priorities, so now everyone has claimed priority. It is a flipping mess; totally random as to when and if a clearance is processed.
Some contracts/positions can be started or even performed with an interim. So you bring people on board and maybe there are some restrictions on what they can/cannot do and eventually they become a real person. ;-)
“what a farce the entire classification and security process has become, it a joke that apparently no one in the federal government takes seriously anyway.”
The whitehut and congress have all but exempted themselves from clearances, yet, every day Americans suffer from the clearance debacle.
In 2012 I finished working on an aviation system. Today, that same system is being used on another program, just Secret/SAP. I can’t get a clearance to join the program due to the backlog. Meanwhile, I can go back to the company where I was working and make the same engineering changes there that I would be making on the SAP program, and I can know of the program. The details are classified if in the program, unclassified if outside the program. Go figure. Total joke.

KEYWORD: Some ... the rest, not so much
PING!!!!
42 of Obama’s admin staff obtain FBI bypass (no background checks)
They had access to classified emails / summary sec meeting notes/briefings etc with NO FBI background check or clearance.
Remind me, wasn't it hacked by Red China, and they got 400,000 sets of fingerprints?
IIRC the head of security was an Obama affirmative-action hire, a female with NO formal IT education (I think she *literally* had a degree in music history).
OPM reported over 5 million fingerprints and 22 million SF-86 were compromised.
“Kathreine Archuleta was the executive director of the National Hispanic Cultural Center Foundation in Albuquerque, New Mexico, from 2002 to 2005. Before that, she was an administrator for Denver Public Schools. From May 1996 to January 1997, she worked in the political world as a senior advisor to Denver politician Federico Peña. She was deputy chief of staff to Peña from 1983 to 1991, while he was the mayor of Denver. She was also a senior advisor to John Hickenlooper during the time he was mayor of Denver.[17][18][19][20][21] In 1997, she was on the Board of Trustees of the Institute of American Indian and Alaska Native Culture and Arts Development (also called “Institute of American Indian Arts”) in Santa Fe, New Mexico.[22]”
She was an Obama political appointee without ANY OPM experience whatsoever.
“OPM reported over 5 million fingerprints and 22 million SF-86 were compromised.”
I often wonder how many people handed in their ticket after the OPM breach. To surrendered you life to the microscope only to be betrayed is a heavy blow.
This appears provocative! With all the talk of 'military tribunals', do you suppose this could be a morphing of investigations from DoJ > DoD? Monumental - if so.
The heavy blow is watching Clinton, Obama, and their administrations and others do things that would put any one of us in jail for life and watch Trump give them a pass.
I support trump is so many ways and love watching hid “Winning!”, but this letting the previous administration get way with sedition and insurrection is just too much. It means they will continue while he is in office and they will go orders of magnitude worse once he is out.
I was there under Reagan, so I do know what I am talking about!
I think she used an Argentine company (As I remember it a South American company for sure!) that was almost completely staffed by Chinese.
“The heavy blow is watching Clinton, Obama, and their administrations and others do things that would put any one of us in jail...”
Will not argue with that. Just the HRC stuff alone makes my blood boil. The sense of betrayal can be overwhelming.
DoD should also take over from CIA, which underlies the problems in the Bureau.
I've been told the guy is doing too well.
My wife works for the DoD and her agency was charged with helping OPM undo the mess from those computer hacks and OPM has been totally unhelpful and is active in trying to sabotage the work of my wife’s agency.
OPM is so afraid to lose people and money with the shift of the clearance approvals that they are deliberately screwing things up.
Sorry. I didn't review my typing properly prior to posting.
