With my TOP SECRET-CRYPTO CLEARANCE

I had occasion to read requirements for Cosmic and other higher levels of clearance. The 15 year part was in more than one such regulation that I personally read in government docs.

In addition, my relative asserted that there were more than 30 levels of clearance above "TOP SECRET." Other sources have said essentially the same thing.

So much for the point of order.

"Top-Secret--Crypto Clearance."

Not to be unkind, but, big whoop.

TS with access to crypto is no great shakes, my friend. And this 15-yr thing? Nope.

It is obvious you have never been deeply involved in the area of clearances, the granting thereof and the levels thereof, otherwise you would know your "crypto" thing is not a classification.

You have not briefed predidents, 4-stars, senior military and government officials, among other such (ig)nobles.

I suggest you might want to re-evalate your position in the grand scheme of clearances.

You best re-consider your allegation of level above TS, as numerous people have pointed out, and I do so again, there are caveats, not levels.

Levels above TS is nonsense. There are no such things. . .and, I might add, John Alexander, one of the top people in his field, and an almost true-believer, even briefs this very thing at RV (and other) conferences.

If you had a TS, then you should know about caveats.

There are a number of them.

Point of order still stands.
