So it looks as if I may be putting in the paperwork for a Q clearance soon. For the last 5 years I have kept myself clean and have been working very hard. Before that however I did some stupid stuff. Right now Im wondering if it is even worth the time and trouble to fill out the paperwork. Since this forum is (relatively) anonymous, Ill just be frank about it and see what you think since there are three things I feel pretty pessimistic about.
1 - I used to smoke weed on and off 5+ years ago and experimented a couple times with MDMA and cocaine about 6-7 years ago.
2 - I have about 5k in child support arrears (which I have been working on paying off for some time now). When they go to interview the ex, I have a feeling Im not really her favorite person if you know what I mean.
3 - fourteen years ago I got a misdemeanor conviction (trespassing) which was sealed via Y.O. status.
So for those of you who have been there and done that – is it even worth my time filling out the paperwork? Or should I probably be ok as long as I am 100% honest about everything?
Also, before 5 years ago, I moved around a lot (4-5 different places), and I do not remember the dates I was there, nor do I have any idea on how to get in touch with some of the people I knew back when I lived there. What do you do in that situation?
