[ale] [Somewhat OT] DoD 8570 IAT Level II Compliance

[Matthew]

I am 8570, I do IA up here in Indiana, the navy.mil address that signed up
recently is me. Contact me offlist if you need the LPIC 1/Linux+ book.

Currently working on LPIC II and RHCE, And CISSP. Security Clearance is a
pain. You will need to fill out an SF-86 form, when you get a job that
requires it. Secret lasts 10 years, and TSC is 5?. Clearancejobs.com will
be your best friend afterwards.



http://www.opm.gov/forms/html/sf.asp (unclassified) so you can check it out
(I grabbed it via google).
