Help me understand my suitability odds

SECURITY CLEARANCE Q&A
1

Hey all,

I have asked about this is this group before, But i forgot to include some things that may provide more context.

I recently received a suitability denial for a support position from the FBI. I am waiting on two analyst offers for entry level college programs in the IC. For context, I am 23 and everything below has been disclosed.

Red Flags

  1. One night when I was 17 (6 years ago), I sold nudes of pornographic actresses to strangers on the internet (catfished) using kik. I also accepted money for sex from one person. This was a scam and not an attempt to prostitute myself. I woke up ashamed and deleted everything.
  2. When I was 18 (5 years ago), I was the manager of my college baseball team and I took a previous season’s bat and a pair of sunglasses. I was not caught.
  3. When I was 18, I had a pocketknife in my dorm room. I was not aware it was not allowed. It was discovered by RA’s and I was given an official warning. Law enforcement was not involved.
  4. When I was 20 (3 years ago), I did not file taxes when I was required to. To avoid a long post, it was not intentional and I thought I had filed. I filed in Janurary of this year when I realized the mistake.
  5. When I was 20 (3 years ago), I had a few beers to many at a neighbors house and drove home. I was not caught.
  6. When I was 20( 3 years ago), I cheated on an undergrad exam and owned up to my professor. I lost 10 points and nothing was reported to the university.

Green Flags

  1. Completed an undergrad and masters
  2. Well reviewed by employers
  3. No drug use
  4. Limited foreign contacts
  5. Good financial situation

With this info in mind, should I expect other suitability denials?

Dang! What college did you go to? I am SO going there!!

Dunno what to expect based on all that. But you probably over-reported a little bit. There is such a thing as too much info.
