Long story short, I joined the USAF as a geospatial intelligence analyst back in 2010, medically retired in 2020 but continued working in intelligence as a contractor for a couple of years after that. I went back to school in 2022 because I felt “called” to work in healthcare which I’ve been doing ever since. I’ve been regretting the career switch and if I could go back in time, would not have left the intelligence field. Since it’s been 3 years since I was in a position that utilized my TS/SCI clearance, I know it’s beyond the point of simply being “reactivated” so I’m trying to find out if there’s any way I could get back into intel. Any advice, guidance, personal experiences welcome!
You’d need a job that wants to hire you first. With 3 years out, your experience is dated. If you move forward from there you would need a new background investigation. Also, not sure if you’ve been watching the news but the government realm is not exactly stable right now.
