[ale] OT: DoD security clearance

[gene]

Well, I don't know for sure, but I don't think that is something one can
acquire on your own.  Many moons ago, I had a security clearance in the
Air Force and also as a defense contractor.  I THINK the company has to
pay for the background investigation.  

If a company that requires a DoD clearance is looking for someone with
an active, or re-instatable (is that a word?) clearance, I'm guessing
they are looking to avoid the expense of paying for the investigation
and the time they would be paying you waiting on your clearance to come
through.  If you have never ahd a clearance, it can take a few months as
I recall to get one.  That's my guess FWIW (not much probably).

Some of the potential employers that I have been working with in my job search either require it or ask that you have the ability to re-instate your old one. I spent some time on the DoD site but I can't seem to find what I'm looking for.
