About two years ago I go discharged from the Army via a special court martial I ended up taking a plea and got discharged with a BCD and 3 months in confinement. I served for 14 years with no other bad conduct on my record. My question is, I had a TS/SCI clearance would I be able to apply for another one with any job, how long should I wait to start applying for a clearance?
2 out of the 4 charges got dismissed but the charges that I ended up getting was 1. drunk and disordered and 2. assault towards an Military Police
Any advice is welcome.
Upgrade your discharge if you can, then reapply for jobs. If you cannot, then contact support. At least you can join the site. I have an inactive clearance/HD and am stuck on the outside.
Currently saving up to hire an attorney just so I can have a better chance on getting it upgraded.
Unlikely you will get a upgrade with that Assault on MP.
Even if you do, the SSBI will still find it and you will have to defend it for clearance and then on employment application.
Agencies have gotten much more “picky”. You “may” be able to get a contract or even a DAC job with the Army. I worked on one contract with the army (902nd) that had the worst and most incompetent ppl i have ever dealt with in my life (Gov’t and non gov) so their standards on clearance are much less so than agencies. I myself stay away from Army contracts but if you are looking for a job, you never know. Good luck.
That is why I am hiring an attorney, the way that my case was handle and ended was unjust.
Lucky I have a great job with amazing benefits and I am definitely not looking to work with incompetent people. I know my worth.
