Hello all,
Background- Current DOD employee with Secret/Tier 1 seeking a Tier 3
Sep 23 - submitted a SF86 for a in- house job that required a Tier 3 for Non-critical Sensitive/Moderate Risk
- Admitted to multiple instances of MJ use within the year of applying, while holding a clearance
Nov 23 - TJO was withdrawn due to not meeting suitability qualifications
Jan 24 - Issued notification of 2-week suspension as a result of MJ admission in SF86
Apr 24 - Completed 2-week suspension
A new position has opened up in my office requiring a Tier 3. It’s been over a year since I used MJ, completed my suspension, have been actively seeing a therapist to address the issues that triggered desire to use MJ.
Despite being within the 7-year period of drug use, would it be worth it to apply for this new position since a year+ has passed? How long will last year’s suitability denial stay on my record?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
