Hi, pretty new to this board and found some great information so far. ``` I held a TS/SCI clearance with the AF for 15 years and when I got out I transferred to a contract roll and had to take a FS poly. I was told that the agency was better with what they know then what they don't. So, when my investigator asked if I had anything to talk about before we started, I let some things go. One was a one time prostitution, hard drug use 3 times, and 1 mj use. All done under poor judgment while highly intoxicated. ``` I ended up getting kicked out of my building and went through the 3 appeal attempts and eventually lost my SCI. I have completely changed my career knowing I’ll never probably work for the IC again, but I find myself in my new career and having a clearance greatly ups my chances of getting a job and for more money. ``` I was under the impression that my TS was gone as well but just this week I was informed that there still hasn't been a decision made (almost a year after they took my SCI). My TS investigation was being done by dodcaf and not the other agency. I did an interview back in June to go over all the information with them for 4 hours about all the stuff I said during my poly(which I'm told i passed). They just came back this week and asked for a signed affidavit and to ask a couple more questions. ``` My question is, is there any chance I keep my TS and is there any chance charges are brought against me for lying on my sf86? ---

For some reason the formatting in your message is all messed up. How long ago was the incidents with the drugs and prostitutes? Was it while holding a clearance? The issue might be that the local authority took away your SCI and its making its way up to revoke your TS. ---

Yeah, I have no clue why it did that. The prostitution was almost 4 years and the drugs was 4 years and more. It was while holding a clearance. ---

It could be too recent. This may be the reason it was yanked. ---

Do you think there’s a chance I keep my TS? ---

I have no idea what the criteria is for keeping it in this case.
