First I'd like to get all the formalities out of the way and say Hello to all the LD staff, Sgt Durkee, Lt Rossignol, Trooper Lazuick and the rest, hope you are enjoying your morning coffee and BTW, nothing personal, guys.
I am helping a friend who owns a defense contracting company navigate the permit process and he has an interview scheduled at the Westminster Barracks. When his interview was scheduled the investigator told him that he had to bring copies of his business bank statements on top of everything else that he submitted with his application. My advise to him was to politely tell her to get bent and I included a copy of the current SOP. Really, guys in the LD, y'all need to step it up on the revision, that one is from 2015.
Not the first time that Investigator Meyers has asked for above and beyond what their own SOP deems necessary. The last person I helped through the process and had their interview with her was made to bring, get this, a letter from the bank stating that he "was authorized by the business to make deposits". Seriously? And you still have a job?
Fortunately the bank and his business had a very good relationship and it was no problem obtaining the letter, but how would the bank know if person X was authorized by the business to make deposits, and frankly, why would they care?
Rant over, you LD guys can go about your business now.
