How forgiving is the government of your “college years” When adjudicating you for a clearance?

Yes. And then he "selects" the people to work for him in the WH.

By putting State or Federal Govt workers under the "same" microscope at the application process, it appeases the tax payers.

It also leaves a thumbprint of enormous information IF an unusual event occured against the Govt, then they have more info to work with if they needed to investigate.

Corp America doesnt go thru this type of background check.

Banks are a great example.

I've been in my State Govt for a short time, and I see how they run, a fear of losing your job, based culture.

I see how no one responds to my questions. Its always, I dont know, call this ph#.

I can never get a straight (honest) answer from anyone.

Everything is vague

Yet, these questions are deep, and optional.
