  1. DISCO
  2. DISCO ( Defense Industrial Security Clearance Office ( 1965) DCAS (Defense Contract Administration Services DSA ( Defense Supply Agency )  became DLA ( Defense Logistics Agency DISCO transferred to DSS ( Defense Security Service) in 1980 consolidated into the Department of Defense Adjudication Facility in 2012 OPM( Office of Personnel Management) has FIS ( Federal Investigative Services  handles investigations for over 100 federal agencies. 90% of gov’t background investigations are provided by OPM Talk a little about the OPM breach here
  3. Adjudicated --- a formal decision is made on whether the investigated individual is granted a clearance.
  4. Types: TS - Single scope ( SSBI) 10 years Confidential/Secret (ANACI) or ( NACLC) 5 years DOE Q = TS & L = Secret
  5. An individual undergoes a background investigation if the position that she will hold requires one. There are a series of steps that occur once the individual has agreed to the investigation and submits their e-QUIP ( long app about your entire life) An FSO ( Facility Security Officer ) initiates the e-QIP in JPAS ( adjudication system)
  6. How long does all this take? Sometimes years The e-QIP itself is an arduous document. Have you traveled outside the US ( dates, place & people) Filed bankruptcy? Bad credit Owe money on liens If you can think of it, odds are they want to know about it
  7. Ask about Social Media participation here Who posts what? Kittens and what else? Would grandma be embarrassed looking at your posts? 
