while a clearance is pending. They are doing a you a great favor. Once the
clearance is issued, talk about job security! you will pretty well have it
made.
That was my experience when I was working for a DoD contractor (before I retired
in 2000)

Thanks Doug. From what I understand is that the positiion that I was offered
today (WOO HOO) I may _someday_ need a clearance, and the company would get it.
They asked me if I thought that I couldn't for any reason, and I honestly told
them that I did not know why not, so I should be good...
