I left working for the government awhile ago so my clearance is shot. Last year I was asked to come back to work to develop a new weapon system and be the head of the effort. The Undersecretary of Defense for xxxxxx, who would have been my boss, instead picked the only other candidate, against everyone telling him it was a mistake, who did not have any experience in those types of weapons, because he already had the required clearance.
I've been told the guy is doing too well.
