I believe there is actually a level called "Confidential", and yes, I'm talking about clearances and not information designation.
But I've never seen anyone given that level of clearance. To my knowledge, the lowest one that involves an SSBI is Secret. _MaH |

You won't have any level of security clearance until you get a job that requires it.

The lowest level of National Security clearance is Secret (actually Confidential, but anyway).
The question is did you actually have a clearance or just a background investigation. Contrary to what many believe, not all get a clearance. It is no longer valid after you get debriefed unless you get another position requiring a clearance within 2 years of your break in service. Even then you may/will need to have a periodic reinvestigation every 5 or 10 years depending on the level or clearance required. |

To my knowledge, the lowest one that involves an SSBI is Secret. _MaH BI on SF86 for Secret. DOD will do a Secret based on a NACLC SSBI on SF86 will do all - Secret, TS, TS/SCI - (Q for DOE) |

Quoted:
Put your .mil service and then put "unknown" in clearance level. You could also put your .mil service, and say "x" clearance at "y" date. As others have said, if it's been over a certain # of years, the whole investigation would have to be redone, but if you're still within scope, that might give you an edge over somebody who they'd have to totally start from scratch with. Just a thought. |

Just a thought. I had a clearance that lapsed, and then when I had to resubmit (for a different service) the clearance just came back approved, no interview, nothing. So I guess having a previous clearance can expedite a new one. I've also seen people with crazy fucked up back grounds approved for secret with no sweat, and other applicants denied for minor stuff. It doesn't seem consistent. |

The only one employers really care about is TS, any joe off the street can usually get a S.
