My first venture working in a non-DoD capacity, I supported the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in assisting various U.S. Federal Departments/Agencies conducting CI operations related to Cybersecurity and the 2015 OPM data breach.*Note: I strategically left this position after having found out a few months in that JPAS and Scattered Castles do not have reciprocity, and that my then active DoD TS/SCI security clearance was in jeopardy as the .gov domain does not take ownership of DoD clearances after being brought on. I desperately left in order to attempt to salvage my TS/SCI (that I had held with continuity maintained 1998-2015). However it was allowed to go into "Archives", and I learned the hard way that "Archives" and "Expired" are one in the same. I essentially had to start over as if I were a civilian never having had a DoD security clearance. I have only been able to be adjudicated at the Secret SSBI level which is currently active.
