[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]An aside for IR kids— keep your nose clean.  American citizens (especially with American citizen parents who also don’t raise red flags)  who learn a critical language are in high demand— if they can get a security clearance. A DUI or occasional pot use at 19 might not prevent this, but it can slow things down.  And if you start adding stuff up, present a high clearance. If your kid is serious about State, . Your kid should realize that, in the future, people might come and talk to roommates, professors, employers, etc

Also, start a word doc and keep track of addresses, contact info. When I did my upgraded clearance, it took me forever to find th exact dates of every country I had visited. Especially in the Eau without passport sts,AP. A day in Gibralter. Through Andorra with a stop for lunch. Write the dates down. [/quote]
OP here. Thanks. My kid doesn’t even swear. But I’ll remind him. 
For JMU haters, my kid doesn’t have the grades to go higher. But thanks for boosting your schools. They sound good.[/quote]

DP. Your kid should also apply to tons of internships - state, intel community, anything that will get them even a low-level clearance before they graduate. And I’d suggest looking in to PMF. And lastly, take a least a few technical/computer science classes. All the agencies are looking for this stuff now and paying extra for it. [/quote]
