Does your job require security clearance?

[SVT Cobra]

mine does not


but i bet there are some engineers here who do!

 

[sygyzy]

Oh man! That's just crazy.

 

[funkymatt]

in a way, yes.

 

[xaeniac]

yes

 

[ToastedMilk]

Yes. Can't go into detail but yes, it does, and it was a long and drawn out nightmare of a process.

 

[FoBoT]

no

i had a secret DoD clearance when i was in the Navy. all submariners have to get at least a secret level DoD. some jobs on the boat including all officers had to get top secret clearance

Yes, I jsut got my Top Secret. The paper work up front sucks, but other than that, it's a joke.

And if you want details, just ask. Not sure what toasted milk is talkign about. Every engineer at my company pretty much has atleast secret.

And there is such things as black projects. There is above top secret, etc ....

 

[EngenZerO]

yes

 

[Need4Speed]

yes

 

[NikPreviousAcct]

yes

 

[AgaBoogaBoo]

I think it's safe to say something is being protected when even the owner of everything isn't allowed to visit without a scheduled appointment!

 

[Gillbot]

yes

I work for a defense contractor. Nothing super kickass like weapons and armor, but the drive images that we keep on hand for computer builds for the military require security clearances. We've been told that folks without security clearance aren't even allowed in the same room where we keep the data. *shrug*

 

[Omegachi]

yes

I mean I can't talk about what I do; not the process of getting the clearance itself which took about a year (and I think a pap smear would be less intrusive).

 

[jadinolf]

Mine doesn't.

House husband is excluded.

So if you have top secret clearance, can you look up stuff not related to your project? Example...say you are a nuclear engineer that works on warheads. Can you look at another agencies work and find out if UFO's really exist? Or is your clearance limited to only your project?

 

[HardcoreRobot]

yes

its not the technology, but the data

good question, but I am sure I probably know the answer

 

[stan394]

my conclusion after reading this thread:

People who work on job that require security clearance, have more free time to nef on ATOT

and they do not get caught because no one is allowed into their office without knocking first and showing proper ID

 

[aircooled]

Nothing more than a special key-card to access the server room. No background check or anything (I did pass the drug test, but was sweating that )
