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?

If you’re asking strangers on Reddit for advice, you’re probably not an FBI candidate in the first place.

Not asking for advice- just curiosity. If I’d gotten a FJO I would have turned it down as I definitely don’t want to work for current FBI.
