Security Clearance...DH'S company screwed his up!

[Anonymous]

He was on the phone screaming today. Somehow his company didn't do something they were supposed to do after his background investigation came back. They didn't touch it for a year and it got pulled.

It all got discovered because he was supposed to go on a contract that was tssci and fso calls and says he has no clearance. None!!

So how long will this cluster fuck take to get cleared all over again? He's held his clearance for 15 years at various levels poly on down.

How are things now adays? Should he pick up an application at Home depot? Year, 2 year wait?

Yes his company messed up. But generally, it's a bad idea to start screaming at your employer. Never makes you look good, no matter how much the other party messed up.

His company owes him a bench job until he gets cleared again. They messed up, big time.

The security person at my company was notoriously awful - and was terrible about updating you on where you stood. I vividly remembered being in the re-investigation phase when we lost a contract. I called my company's security office and am still waiting on a call. That was 6 years ago. I was able to find out through the agency that I was working for that my reinvestigation had been processed and was done MONTHS before that.

This should be a wake up call for his company. I'm sorry, OP.

Wow. He was screaming on the phone? That is unprofessional even if someone made a mistake. He should be careful that he isn't in danger of losing the job. Being in need of anger management isn't going to protect him from termination.

Uh, the guy has bigger problems than this. He'll lose his job due to not having a clearance. This is how it works. Some moron cost him his job. That's a fact. I'd yell too. I'd be furious.

If that's funny, you work for the wrong company.

My husband is in the military so might be different but they fast tracked his clearance - it was done within 6-8 weeks I think?

Tell us which company would pay for a year of bench time while someone gets a clearance.

My clearance took about 3-4 months as I recall. Best wishes, OP. That really sucks.

That the error was on their part? Maybe it would be a problem for you, but you'd best believe they would find me something to do while they straightened it out. Some BD, some proposal work, something.

Mistakes happen OP, and I get they are frustrating, but your husband should absolutely not have lost his cool like that. Be happy he still has a job.

He could lose his clearance forever for being angry and getting fired
