A secret clearance for a calibration tech? Who put that silly ass requirement? A calibration tech has no need for that level clearance. :roll:
I only needed an confidential while in the Navy and when I worked at AUTEC's lab.

That's because they calibrate the gages that are used on the secret submarines that go to Atlantis. It's an onsite. You might get to meet some of the squid people too. Oh... They're called Cajuns, sorry.

That's because the Confidential went away and secret is the lowest level now. They're required for some communications test sets, particular frequencies...etc. Also required for onsites to particular no windowed buildings with lots of avionics.
Pretty common these days for DoD calibrators to have a secret clearance.

No one here is required to have anything but NACI (the new confidential) which is pretty basic. I would guess there's some reason for a secret, but our higher HQ slaps a secret on virtually anything where they are.
