In recent years there has been in steady increase in the number of jobs and military positions that require security clearances. The handling of classified documents continues to be an issue that shows up in headlines. Now more than ever, it is important for those in the military and involved in work related to the federal government to obtain and retain security clearances. Currently, there are three primary clearance levels:
- Confidential
- Secret
- Top Secret
The application process as well as the periodic renewal process involves extensive and thorough background investigations. These investigations look into personal, financial, and criminal history.
