in 1996, my now daughter-in-law was a CT (Cryptologic Technician) which required the highest clearance a Naval enlisted person can get. When she was based in DC, numerous CTs lost their clearances and hence their rate, for what we might consider minor reasons:
  • DUIs
  • Losing DL because of speeding
  • Financial problems
  • Gambling
  • Dating or having friendships with foreign nationals

No reviews, no explanations, no slack. One day they were CTs in real nice jobs in DC; the next day they were SM (Signalmen) on harbor tugs in Adak.

Early in my career, I was a systems engineer for a large computer company. One of the customers I supported was a Lockheed plant that made weapons systems radars. It took a month before I was allowed inside the computer room. They did background checks on me and gave me a Secret clearance. That allowed me to be in the computer area only but I could not be in the computer room whenever they were running any test simulations. I had to be escorted to any of the other areas of the plant by a person w/a Top Secret clearance.

When one of their programmers lost his DL for DUI, they took away his clearance and transferred him out of the plant to a less sensitive position.

I don't profess to be an expert for one. Second when you are the head person/leader for any company or department there is an implied level of competency for holding that position. I just don't see it with her.

"No reviews, no explanations, no slack." + single minded bitch in control = one (several) big fricken lawsuit(s) leaving the BOS holding the bag for a real bad decision when she is voted out.

She might be writing checks her ego can't cash.

Look for signs that the BOS is drifting away from her. Sup Bates has already back-peddled when she said she "had no hint" of what Sheriff was gonna do [regarding CCWs]; and I believe Sup Bates.
