There is a ton of confusion over this issue. &nbsp;Here is the guidance from NSA:&nbsp;<a href="http://www.nsa.gov/public_info/_files/resumeDosDonts.pdf">http://www.nsa.gov/public_info/_files/resumeDosDonts.pdf</a>. &nbsp;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. &nbsp;<div><br></div><div>In short for those that don't click through, you may reveal the basic level of your clearance. &nbsp;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. &nbsp;If you can't figure it out, you have no need to know, therefore I chose "I'd rather not say." &nbsp;This is a personal choice and not intended as a statement on what the right answer is. &nbsp;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.

How is the existence of my security clearance an OPSEC
violation?

Well sir I teach the resistance portion of SERE an &nbsp;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&nbsp;

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>&nbsp;</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?&nbsp; 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. &nbsp;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

For Marines it is actually extremely rare to have a clearance.
