Other than honorable and Secret Clearances

-This post is to respond to the numerous emails I have recieved about keeping your secret clearances after recieving an OTH.

Usually anything other than a honorable discharge, disqualifies you to keep your security clearance. Other Than Honorable discharge just means that if you did something wrong and it was not bad enough for the military to charge you with a crime, they just choose to give you that so you can at least explain to a possible future employer what happened in your circumstances.

This is a tough pill to swallow but they usually take your secret clearance away. Unless of course you can get it overturned....
