I was active duty, got into an altercation and it went south. I was convicted, served time, and have not been in trouble since (or before for that matter). I held a TS/SCI at the time of the conviction, but it was during the time that investigations were REALLY behind time wise, so my clearance had officially expired and was in the extended interim grace period. So it was technically never revoked, they just didn’t renew it. Now, 10 years later I have a business, a wife and kids, and have no issues that would bar me from a clearance, save for the felony.
I’n thinking of looking for a government job as a service disabled vet. Do I have a chance to gain a clearance again?
Without asking for a lot of details an adjudicator requires, you have a shot. You did your punishment and 10 years passed without additional similar issue.

Good to know. Thank you for the feedback!
You have a good chance as long as you were forthcoming about it. I had multiple felonies in that same time frame, and some additional mishaps in 2015. I was just was upront about it and got my clearance a couple months ago within the IC.

Thanks for the info! Congrats on getting your clearance!
To follow this, I know someone that was convicted of a gun crime when they were younger, served their time in military prison, and now has a TS//SCI. It is a whole person concept, and people make mistakes when they are younger.
