situation as I know it (And I certainly am no expert) is that clearances for
that class took a lot longer, and that many DoD contractors are not willing to
invest the time and money in that candidate while waiting the length of time it
takes to get clearance investigations done. This is not the same as saying they
are ineligible for clearances.

Doug,
>From what I understand, its being a foreign national that precludes you from
getting a clearance. However I've had potential employers say that my
Canadian citizenship may not matter for a clearance. Also, I know quite a
few naturalized (foreign born) US citizens who have current clearances.
