Okay, so does it bother anyone else that they want to know our clearances and other info that could be considered OPSEC violations?

There is a ton of confusion over this issue. Here is the guidance from NSA: <a href="http://www.nsa.gov/public_info/_files/resumeDosDonts.pdf">http://www.nsa.gov/public_info/_files/resumeDosDonts.pdf</a>. I'm glad you have brought this up as everyone should look over his/her resume carefully to make sure that you have not said too much. <div><br></div><div>In short for those that don't click through, you may reveal the basic level of your clearance. None of the options listed on Rally Point would create a violation.</div><div><br></div><div>That said, if you have "need to know," you can surmise my clearance level based on other facts I have given. If you can't figure it out, you have no need to know, therefore I chose "I'd rather not say." This is a personal choice and not intended as a statement on what the right answer is. The guidance I posted is the right answer.</div>

Thank you. I am glad someone took the time to answer my question with something other then a smartass remark. This was very helpful.

Well sir I teach the resistance portion of SERE an if I found that you had more then the standard secret I would definitely focus more attention on you because that tells me you have the potential to know things that I want to know and that you don't want to tell me. If you get taken by say a government that wants to exploit you and theyfind your monster or other sites it can prolong your stay

I'll try to avoid those places. It should be easy to keep my mouth shut, I haven't had the "need to know" anything more sensitive than a SSN in years.

<p>I think it's because in order to be a member of this site you must prove military affiliation.</p><p> </p><p>This is less of a "facebook" site than it is a professional networking site; you would include your clearance level on a resume, why not here? There's nothing special about someone having a clearance, hell if you don't have a clearance you're usually asked why.</p>

Thank you. My only thing is I was taught never to put my clearance on the resume. I have been in 20 years and I have always passed it on that yes it is assumed that you are military then you have a clearance so it doesent need to be on there. If they ask you in the interview you can tell them. If that is not right then I would like to know and the CPT`s post cleared.things up for me
