Quote:Well the lawyer finally called after 2.5 years. Said they like to have my hearing in June. But it will cost another 7 grand... I told him I'm going to cut my loses and go no further. I like how I started to say I was going to pull the plug and he came down to 5 grand. LOL....And he mentioned applying for an appeal after the hearing....I was like...Ya that's a waste of money. So after a weekend of thinking I'm just going to have him write me a paragraph or more of how to explain my denial on any future application. I mean he told me we were crappity smacked months ago and it's mitigation/damage control now....basically showing I'm still a nice person and I don't do anything that I was denied for. Well it's been over 5 years at this point. My only issue is that once I'm denied is it from that point I can't apply to any 3 letter place for a year??? Is it from that time I have to wait 5 years?? When I was denied a clearance I thought it was the end of the world and my money making power. But that's not the case. Ya you can make more money with a clearance...but it's not necessary and not the end of the world.
Are you ptrck, the OP? You can get into another agency with a clearance denial on record. I know, because I have done it. Literally just a few years after the first denial based on the polygraph, I was TS/SCI cleared into another agency. I had no serious issues on records other than false accusations on a polygraph, which was not a concern to my new agency who did not even administer polygraphs themselves. Just apply to other jobs and go for it, but do not expect to ever get into the CIA, or any other agency where you failed the polygraph before, even if 10 years have passed. I know, I am speaking from experience. You are blacklisted for life from that agency. By the way, I have since quit government service to do my own thing.
Regarding the appeal, those are just legal formalities to make you feel better. Most appeals are denied, and the process drags on for so long that most applicants give up or move on, and don't care to spend the money. That is the goal of these agencies. It is rare to beat the U.S. federal government in court. VERY RARE.
I personally have gone from patriot to rogue. I am sick of the government control and security clearance bullshit. I have moved on with my life and will never again give a shit about U.S. government employment. With my background, computer hacking, there is tons of money to be made and services to provide around the world without sitting on some limited GS payscale and worrying about my clearance all the time. Criminals and malicious foreign governments will pay me more than the U.S. government ever will, and I know how to hide my tracks and money to avoid law enforcement coming down on me. Besides, I am out of country anyway. I can get paid from my laptop in any random part of the world. I'd much rather crappity smack foreign girls, do some drugs, break some laws, not report anything, and live a wild life until I die. The U.S. government can die slow for all I care. I respect Snowden, Wikileaks, Anonymous, and other anti-government people.
Life is short. crappity smack tyranny, oppression, and government control. Be free, get paid, and grab your balls when you do so Uncle Sam can know the meaning of crappity smack you.
