I wonder if some of these rules regarding the length of time a person can be away from a cleared position have been informally observed for some time already… I have heard of a handful of cases where people were away from cleared work for over two years and got back in quickly… for positions requiring a secret clearance, that is.

But kudos to the intended reform
