[ale] OT: DoD security clearance

[Bao C. Ha]

 
I 
don't think you can do it as an individual.  The security clearance is 
granted on
a 
need-to-know basis.  I am not sure about DOD, but DOE clearance costs 
a
<SPAN 
class=631360921-18012002>company about 10-15K.  If you already have one, it 
is just a matter to re-instate
<SPAN 
class=631360921-18012002>it.  If you have not had one, it will take months, 
years or never to get it.  That's
why 
employers require that you are currently cleared or already have one in 
the
<SPAN 
class=631360921-18012002>past.  They can't afford to let you sitting around 
waiting for the clearance process
to be 
completed.  It still costs them a bundle to transfer or to re-instate 
though.

  Howdy,
  Â 
  Â Â Â  I have been trying to do some 
  research regarding obtaining a Department of Defense security clearance. 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.
  Â 
  Â Â Â  Anywho, if anyone could point 
  me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it.
  Thank you,
  Â
