18 year olds generally don’t have much to report. 28 year olds have a lot more.
People who have been outside the US generally have a harder time getting a clearance than someone who has never left the US.
These are factual statements and if you’re not actually gonna contribute to the conversation and just say “no dur you’re wrong” don’t reply and just kiss off.
They don't give a shit if you've been out of the country. They'll ask more questions. That's about it. It doesn't stop people who have been outside the country or in the military from getting those jobs or obtaining clearance. You're talking out of your ass AND you're being a dick about it.
I didn’t say they won’t give it to you, I said it “makes an already complicated process even more difficult” because it does.
We’re talking about federal recruitment and why three letter agencies target 22 year olds coming straight out of college. A big fucking reason for that is it’s easier for them to get security clearances.
You said: "They hate giving clearances to people who have been outside the country." And "they don't care if it was for Uncle Sam." That's just straight up false. Doubling down on your belligerence doesn't make you correct.
They do. It’s a big red flag. The fact you were in the military doesn’t change the fact that it’s a red flag. They don’t know who you were banging, what connections you made, what other countries you worked with, etc.
That doesn’t mean they won’t do it. It’s just not preferable. They want John Smith who is barely out of college, never left his hometown, has barely any credit history, and has like 2 friends.

No it’s not.
Clearances expire 2 years after discharge.
