What could be some determining factors for your SSBI to fail? What do they generally look for when making the determination?

I've decided to join the Coast Guard as a prior service member. I'm going to go for the IS rate which requires a TS/SCI clearance. I had one before when I was a Navy ET and nothing's really changed since I was in personally, but I'm still a little worried about it failing.

The biggest one I've seen is lying.

Ummmm.....if nothing has really changed, then why worry about it failing?

Nothing has changed with me, but I'm asking this off the assumption that things have changed with what they look for in your background.

SN Kevin Neff - Ah. Okay. Now I'm tracking. I was confused at first, But then, I'm old and easily confused. Just ask my wife.

As long as you tell the truth on the forms and interviews, you should be fine.

It's been my experience that only very serious things might stop a clearance. And I work near the adjudication process every day. I'm not part of the process, but I see it "in action."
