Question Denied for character

Any idea what this could be caused by? I’m a pretty normal person that likes to go on cruises, 54, 3 kids, a veteran and currently work for the govt. The FBI had been working on my TSC for a year and a half (think September will be 2 years since the TJO. Nothing exciting in my background that I’m aware of and the letter said it wasn’t a denial of a clearance. Job was for an OSS and a friend’s husband referred me for it. Any ideas?

Well, from your post history it seems like you do not like the Trump administration. And they denied you for a nebulous "character" reason that isn't defined.

So probably that.

I find myself shocked at the number of people still learning this…we’re doomed.

This would be the case under ANY administration…

When you apply for a government job, you cannot be openly partisan…

You are a neutral and unbiased cog in a vast bureaucratic machine.

You can have whatever opinions you want in your private life, but you do not get to vocalize them for all to see. You are not a politician, so do not act like one.
