Either way, I'm going to try. Thanks in advance.
When you filled out your questionnaire for a clearance did you write down all those “hindrances”?

Granting a secret clearance is fast and easy for responsible individuals devoid of “hindrances”. Individuals with certain types of “hindrances” will never be allowed to join Special Forces or the US military for that matter. Because every individual is different and some actually think they will try to fool the system and not write down all their accumulated “hindrances” when we do find them, and we will, we will “flag” and pull that individual from any training he or she is currently attending and send them packing.

Don’t expect a quick adjudication of your clearance if you possess certain types of “hindrances”.
