I don't see how taking a job for a contractor is betraying one's country.
i mean, don't that contractors that require these thing work for the gov?

You all missed the point entirely. Like many other subjects on this board, I wonder how many posters have even held a clearance.
yes someone will always sell out and be a traitor, I dont think anyone on here except maybe one person I worked with knows what I do, and even they dont know who I work with.
Nothing on here is INFOSEC nor nothing that cant be seen google-ing TS/SCI clearance process or how to obtain one
i'm talking about the ppl who posted that said oh i have one. and specifically what kind.
For great read, he is a link on clearance decisions

Case Number: 08-06969.h1
Personal Conduct
04/13/2010
Applicant failed to advise his employer and the Government that his wife maintains two pornography websites, which include hardcore pornography. This decision places him in a position to be exploited, coerced or forced to provide classified information. He has not mitigated the government's security concerns. Clearance is denied.
The wife's (?) porn sites, or the fact he didn't advise? Should have given out more free passes...
When you are apllying for a background clearence (or a police job), disclose everything. Do not let the investigator find something on thier own, that will get you DQ'd everytime, particularly something like this that could have left the employee open to blackmail.

Don't have to disclose everything, but when confronted about something disclose it. Background questions might not ask you if your wife operates a porn site, so no need to disclose it. If the investigator asks you "anything I should know that might open you to blackmail" you will have to disclose what reasonable people would think to open you to blackmail.
good thing there are like 100000 people with the same name
It could also work against you. One of my friends employment got held up because he had the same name as a convicted felon.
This is dangerous as most or if not all companies don't disclose why they didn't hire your. So easy for someone to just google your name. If they see something they don't like it, without verifying, they could just not hire you.
When you get a job that requires a security clearance, you'll have to fill out a questionaire where you have to disclose a lot of information about yourself, your family, nearest relatives, and associates. They used to have a big stack of paperwork you would fill out, but now it's on the computer. The clearance is granted by the government, and the sponsoring agency pays for a background check and investigation. Like others have said, you should disclose everything. If it's something that can make you look untrustworthy or susceptible to manipulation, you need to disclose it because the investigators will find out. If they find out something they consider significant that you didn't disclose, the clearance will not be granted. Like someone else has said, polygraph is required for some jobs, but most don't.
The easiest way to get a security clearance is to get hired by an agency or contractor into a job that requires a clearance. I don't think getting a clearance in the military helps you much unless you want to later get a job with the DOD as a civilian employee, or work for a DOD contractor. I say this because someone in the air wing can get a clearance because he has access to technical manuals requiring a clearance. It's not the same as someone who's worked with nuclear devices, and doesn't hold the same level of responsibility. Just my opinion though.
