Are they synonomous? Was poly’d and investigated for a TS/FSP with an IC agency (did the poly near the airport). Was denied because of things i disclosed i did 20 years ago, apparently I’m not whole enough of a person. I also had a paperwork discrepancy - even though the form says 7 years (2008 form), I was supposed to say yes anyway to certain questions?
Anyhow, I was “disapproved for access to classified information”, but also told I could reapply in a year.
A couple of questions.
- are disapproved/denied synonymous?
- if i was to reapply in a year, is it worth it to try? would i get the chance to provide a statement/additional context to what came out in the poly (I own what I did as a kid, but also feel I was kinda thrown to the wolves by my team), and correct the paperwork discrepancy?
- what do i check on an sf-86 if i have to do another one when asked if I was ever denied a clearance (I assume I have to check yes).
Thanks.
