Holy shit, who the hell goes though all this shit? Just get another job lmfao. Private sector probably pays more than this. (Also you wouldn’t have to worry about government shutdowns)

    If filling out the sf86 is the hardest part of your job then you probably deserve to be working at Starbucks.

      Its more about the invasive investigations after it.

      You gotta go around asking all your relatives about their citizenship status. Amongst like a lot of other things.

      Edit: I mean, I understand why, but still. Tedious. Given that government shutdown happen all the time, I’m not sure this is even worth it.

        There are a lot of positions that don’t work directly for the government that still require an sf86. Many of them are considered critical workers or in many of the cases contractors have the funds sitting in the Treasury or with their company and continue to get paid even if there is a shutdown.

        Even funnier is now many contractors factor in government shutdowns into the total cost of the contract so the work can continue while the government is shutdown.

        I’m private sector and filled this out. It is very much worth it. If you have a clearance and can fog a mirror, you can get a decent job. If you have a clearance and you’re smart, the sky is the limit.
