They&#39;ll look at your background for criminal charges and your credit to make sure you aren&#39;t a financial risk.

Domestic violence? Typically a career ender. That said, be aware that the MIL and many on the Civil Service side who have positions that don&#39;t require a clearance are not off the hook. The concept is known as &quot;maintaining eligibility for a clearance&quot;. So if you muck it up such that potential future hit would show up on a background investigation, action can be taken then for separation. We don&#39;t keep people around who won&#39;t pass muster on classified stuff. I&#39;ve administratively separated both MIL and CS. Fairly easy mechanical process. Even easier is when the person refuses to provide information &quot;because they have rights&quot;. That one took about two days.
