Hey Crabby,<br /><br />Not saying our system is the best. But, in Russia, they only arrest the ones they're going to torture. The rest are shot, citizen witnesses or not.

Re: this ain't right..

Crab, I guess you are caught up in the new security concerns since 9/11. We always seem to overdo everything at first and then swing back to a more normal situation later. Since it's a high security site, they are probably being extra careful. Good luck.

Crab,<br />I've been involved with government security clearances, etc., for many years and have processed hundreds of applications for clearance. The forms required are a supreme pain in the butt to fill out and require a good deal of effort on the part of the applicant. The main thing to remember is to be completely truthful in your answers. You won't be disqualified for a minor conviction ten years ago. But if you lie about it, it will be disqualifing. Good luck on getting the job. :) <br />Backlash

Re: this ain't right..

So your name isn't Crab Bait? All this time living a lie. I can see the personal questionsing now.<br /><br />"So Mr. Bait, What is your real first name?"<br /><br />I hope the FBI doesn't check out the iBoats forum. All these people with aliases. Good luck Crab Bait. <br /><br />P.S. I knew of someone in college that applied to the CIA. They had agents come to the dorms and interview all his friends. A couple of my friends were interviewed.

Re: this ain't right..

I went through a similar thing in the Air Force. Got to tech school and filled out the paper work for security clearance and such. Bout a month later, my Mom calls and said there was a man checking my background. Seems he spent some time in the home town. Keep in mind what Backlash said, DON'T LIE, even about the smallest thing. The get all agrieved about that. Good Luck!!

Re: this ain't right..

crab - you seem like a good dude - but as i've said in a ton of other posts, if you have nothing to hide, who cares? and if you don't like providing all that info and having them call your friends, then i'm sure you don't have to go work at the site. i deal with this all the time in the military, giving them all my info, having them talk to friends, and talking on behalf my friends. it all serves a point, though. everyone jumps on the federal agencies when a bad guy does something bad in the country, and wonders how they didn't see it coming. know what i mean? if it was illegal to look up your criminal past and other records, imagine how easy it would be for the terrorists to keep terrorizing. give em all the info they want, and focus on the important things- family, friends, and boating.
