OT please help. Need advice about leaving internship off resume and application

Hello,
I left a 5 month internship off my application and resume for a job I interviewed for. The application did not say to include all jobs or all past work history. Would there be any issues? This job has high security clearance. What should I do? Should I contact HR and include it? The internship did not end well

I wouldn't leave it off the security clearance application.

Was the issue on your end or theirs?

If you leave it off of a SF-86 and they find out about it, which they likely will, then it will be considered "evasion" and you almost certainly won't get the Clearance.
A resume is one thing but the Clearance paperwork is going to require a complete history including time gaps that have to be explained.

If you got paid or listed this for a credit reference elsewhere it will surface in the background check.

What is the benefit of leaving it off, what happened?
nm I see you answered this. I would put it on there, you dont need to give detail of why you left or got fired do you?

Evasion can/will kill a security app. Getting drunk at a company event isn't a security issue.
come clean.

Like what? Not getting the job? Sure, maybe...

The application for your job, that would be your call. I personally would leave it off.
The SF86 is a whole different thing. Will you need a Secret or Top Secret Clearance?
For a Secret Clearance it will not really matter to much one way or the other. I would put it on there. Especially if it was a paid internship. They really will not care why you left.
For a Top Secret I would advise putting it on there as they are asking about your background over the last 10 years. I would advise very strongly to not omit from the SF86. Now the reason in which you left the internship may come into question depending on who they interview. As I am sure you are aware this is not the kind of thing; such as; an employer verifying employment.
I would not lose sleep over it. The most important thing is not to try to be slick with the investigation... it won't work. Just be honest, they are looking for the honesty more so then having one to many at the company picnic. The fact that you mouthed off to a boss is no where near as bad to the investigator as trying to hide it ... that opens you up to blackmail in their eyes.
Good Luck
