    every online handle over 7 years?

    oh well, guess I’m really not going into DoD work now. I probably have a dozen or so that I don’t even have the username saved for.

      Yeah, that was new to the form. They review your finances, every location you traveled, every address you lived at, interview neighbors, coworkers, they will pull logs from social media like FB, Twitter, Reddit, Playstation and Xbox, the pull phone records and GPS data, text records, ISP records, etc. That is why people with a TS clearance should not be on social media at all. That form gives the Federal Government full access to your entire history for that seven year period to determine if you are trustworthy.

      For a normal security clearance they don’t go as deep, usually just financial and review for any police reports, but all give the govt the right to search everything if need be.

          I can’t guarantee I haven’t made politically spicy comments in the last 7 years and I’m usually a “trust the system” liberal
