That article's use of "disqualifying" is really not accurate. Most of those *are* conditions which draw scrutiny, and must be reported. Their impact on one's security clearance depends on a number of factors, including if/how you report your issues, and how you handle your issues. More than anything else, government security is about *accountability*. It's not about being walking perfection. If you have made your mistakes, but come clean about them, that's generally considered in *much* different light than trying to hide them. If you fail to report something, *that* will get you in trouble much quicker. In practical terms, they don't care (much) if you smoked pot a few times in college. They care if you'll report it to them or not. They don't care if you're in debt, as long as you have a plan to handle that debt. If you have a huge coke habit and that's making you vulnerable to financial exploitation, *that's* a problem. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
