*blinks* Do people who actually have active security clearance talk about it on their LinkedIn?

Genuinely asking, because I would have thought that kind of thing was kept mum except for specific circumstances.

You made me giggle with your blinks. I might have to borrow that sometime. It sounds ridiculous doesn’t it but I’ve seen some crazy stuff posted on the site especially about cybercrime.

I don't think so. I was interviewed once by a very official looking solider as a social friend of someone getting a higher security clearance. And I think I'm allowed to say what I said, but I am not allowed to reveal that persons name or any contents of the interview ever. My friend never shared his security clearance with me or this was a clearance interview, just asked that I be interviewed as a reference for a promotion.

Thank you.

In my head I had it down as the sort of thing a forgettable man in a suit asks you about in a very private room that you never talk about, but I didn't know if that was coloured by watching too many British dramas. (Most notably, The Bletchley Circle, highly recommended. Both the original and the San Francisco reboot.)

MOO

Would LinkedIn be an approved source on Websleuths?

The LinkedIn of either accused or victim is always allowed, as is any other social media of the same. :)

I found out about this question because somebody alerted on the post to ask. Next time, don't ask on the thread, just alert on ANY post and ask your question. We don't read anywhere near every post made on the board - there just plain aren't enough of us to do that!

I am a creaking relic of the midnineties internet, forums and chatrooms alike. I still retain some of that. I've forgotten all the number codes I used to make pictures out of symbols in IRC, though. I don't think they've been supported anywhere for over twenty years, and alas, my brain discarded them.

All I can think of is all those guys - who usually turn out to kill their partners or families - who disclose in hushed tones to friends or family or people at parties about how they work for the CIA, or black ops, or MI5, and it's all absolute bullhockey. It's all to cover up infidelity and fraud and seven shades of con artistry and usually a lengthy rap sheet of sins, both ones they got caught for and ones they didn't. Don't know if it's the case here, but that line on the LinkedIn has got my ears twitching.

MOO

Far less exciting, Lobby of my office building, he came to me. Dressed in full military gear, definitely a higher ranking army official. This was in college, I doubt it was a super high ranking clearance, I assume as you go up the ladder it gets more and more private room forgettable man.

Considering people use LinkedIn for job networking (and sometimes in place of an actual resume), I think it makes sense to list past or active security clearances, especially in certain industries. It shows potential employers that you have or can get a clearance, which is often required prior to starting certain roles. Noting type or level of clearance probably is also helpful for lower to mid-level employees who may move between companies every few years. I don't see it as a big deal and it's reflective of the way people network and look for jobs these days. I don't think the fact that someone has a security clearance is secret (in many cases), it's more of an indication that you have passed rigorous checks. MOO.

Yes. Certain jobs require a security clearance, and it’s easier to hire someone who already has one.
 
Been keeping a close eye on this. I don't know them but I have mutual FB friends with both of them. Breezy is someone I would have been friends with had we known each other, and our kids are the same age. I keep checking updates hoping they've caught him. He is running on borrowed time!! I could be wrong but I think he is still out there.

Military training eyed in Central Mass. manhunt for man sought in wife's death

Police returned to the woods of Central Massachusetts Wednesday in the ongoing manhunt for a 33-year-old man in connection with the shooting death of his wife.

...At about 6 p.m. Tuesday, state police said search operations had concluded for the evening and that the search for Pennington would resume Wednesday morning. The target area for the search is approximately 175 acres.

..."She was saving up money and Aaron was obviously aware that she was gonna leave," said Lowe.

..."I think this is one of those situations where he had that mindset, 'If I can't have her, then nobody can,'" said Lowe.

Early has described Pennington as "armed and dangerous." Neighbors said Pennington is an Air Force veteran.

...If anyone sees Pennington, they are asked to contact the Massachusetts State Police at 508-829-8236 or the Gardner Police Department at 978-632-5600.

My husband has a top secret clearance and it’s definitely a plus when job seeking. I would definitely have it on my professional profile. It just shows you were able to get cleared by the government to that level. MOO
 

Military training eyed in Central Massachusetts manhunt for man sought in wife's death​

Police returned to the woods of Central Massachusetts Wednesday in the ongoing manhunt for a 33-year-old man in connection with the shooting death of his wife.

... Based on surveillance camera video, the document indicates Aaron Pennington left the driveway in the white BMW sedan at 8:50 a.m. Sunday.

He is still out there ... somewhere ... I am surprised he hasn't been located yet. Makes me wonder if he had a plan ... He's been gone three days without any sign of him. I haven't seen any coverage with respect to bank accounts, cash withdrawals, credit card usage - which might indicate one of two things - either he had planned his escape and has cash or ... is not alive. MOO

I still think he’s dead in the woods. If he had some sort of a plan, then one would suspect that he would have had some mode of transportation waiting for him near where his vehicle was found.

The way this went down though, seems to indicate to me that this was more of an emotional event, as opposed to a well planned one.

Anything is possible though.

-State Police have focused their search across 175 acres of woods at Camp Collier, a Boy Scout camp in Gardner. That's where a bow hunter found Aaron Pennington's BMW abandoned Monday, about three miles from the family's home.
