re: Serious Question: How to get a secret/ top secret security clearance

One day I was smoking a big fat J in my house when the doorbell rang.

It was some agent dude doing a background check on a friend of mine for a security clearance-required job with a defense contractor.

As clouds of smoke drifted out the front door, I told the dude my man was solid, Patriotic Pimp alla way.

My friend got his SC a couple days later.

Cool story? TRUE STORY. Getting an SC was easy back then.

You can't just get one. You have to work for the government or work as a contractor and the Government has to deem it nessceray for you to have one to do your job. A SC isn't hard to get, a TS is much tougher, and an SCI is where you want to end up.

Or get elected to Congress or the Senate.
