Sentiment like yours is why we investigators are employed. Honestly just isn’t enough.
I’ve had cases like this - thankfully there is documentation which exists long term coupled with other requirements to keep such foolish notions/attempts in check.
Lie, cheat, scam your way into - what, a clearance? Maybe it becomes granted because of such tactics?
Ways to justify the means - good luck with that.
This might show up when they try to pull your college records.
BS. I knew day 1 I had to pay my bills and take care of any and all obligations. You are simply trying to justify your poor life decisions.
People like you are what is wrong with the world. You expect the rules to not apply to you then whine when you don’t get what you want. I hope you don’t get cleared. Your honesty and integrity are ZERO.
On my last interview it appears I listed many things no longer considered relevant. I would much rather have the investigator cross items off his list of things to ask about than have him ask why I failed to list something.
