As an FSO, you ask yourself, “how can I improve our security procedures?” You have a masterful knowledge of industrial security and facility clearance requirements. The NISPOM is your BFF and memories of submitting perfectly polished SF 86’s gives you ultimate satisfaction. You are a fantastic teammate and an even better employee. OPSEC controls are second nature. Your self-inspections are probably frame-worthy. You view the oversight of clearance processing as a challenge, not as a wall. You’re bright, passionate, and driven. You can work well with others and work efficiently when accomplishing independent tasks.
