He has taken a call from a former AF Tanker Pilot who had some great insight on Kushner’s security clearance and some war stories too. Good segment!!
Since I was an E-5, I was the weekend shift supervisor since my staff sgt. had the weekend off.
Sunday afternoon a top secret flash message came in over a non secure teletype from a station on the other side of the canal. Since I didn't have a top secret clearance, I had to call my ssgt at home and he had to come in and handle it.
The following morning we had to file a report with the center's CO. This was scary for me because the next day I was scheduled to fly back to the states for my first leave in almost 2 years and I thought I would be delayed. Anyway, nothing happened and when I got back from leave I had already been upgraded to Top Secret clearance........no big deal.
As a side note, there were a couple guys serving with me with secret clearances whose only reason they were in the Army was because their local judges gave them a choice of jail time or army due to whatever they had been arrested for........LOL!
Look, its like this, Kuchner held an INTERIM TS/SCI
I had a full one till I decided not to have a microscope up my hinder.
Decided after I no longer had a need to know I did not want to go to interesting places for low pay with a microscope in my hinder!
I was halfway through the forms to reup.
This is a load of smoke.
My Last job, they made you take polygraphs for TS/SCI
Not once but regularly.
Think Obama ever took a polygraph?
Who was that head of CIA that said under Polygraph that he voted CPUSA? Brennan?
KC 135 tanker pilots don’t disclose movements, they fly and fuel em
A clearance is essentially a measure of your loyalty to the United States and willingness to protect whatever classified material you receive access to.
Access to classified material requires two things: a clearance to the appropriate level and a 'need to know'. Just because you have a TS clearance it doesn't mean you automatically have access to TS material.
Your 'need to know' is driven by your job. As your job changes, your 'need to know' changes and hence, your access changes.
I had a TS collateral clearance for 40 years and a TS/SCI clearance for 30 years. I am currently out of scope which is fine with me, I'm retired. Others can do their time on the pointy end of the spear.
