Not "mostly." Most of the time if you tell someone to do something it gets done. However work gets slow and that affects everyone.

It's just not that busy at a lot of places. My friend who crunches numbers can do a day's work in like 30 minutes. He works in a SCIF where no phones are allowed, so he always goes to the parking lot and fucks around on his phone, texts buddies, reads the news. He had a boss who tried to tell him he wasn't doing enough work but couldn't do shit because no one had any complaints about anything he did. They were like "yeah he gets shit done and does it right." He drinks beer at lunch too and jokes with the black security guards with beer on his breath when he comes back.

Debt is the other big one. Otherwise you're probably fine. If you did drugs recently do a quick rehab program to get that out of the way, even if it was weed. it can be some outpatient shit where you just do meetings for six weeks and get a certificate. You can also enroll in a voluntary random testing program.

He's a contractor he's probably not getting polygraphed. However it's good to be honest and up front about everything and let them see your weak spots up front. IF he's polygraphed they'll be probing his weak spots to see if they affect his suitability to hold a clearance. Everyone has stuff they're sensitive to talking about, it's ok. Let them make you uncomfortable, just don't give them a reason not to trust you.

Delta-8 is fine, though they will want you to stop smoking it after you are employed if only because a drug test can't distinguish between legal and illegal weed. The issue with illegal drugs are two-fold:

1. Strictly as a legal matter, Reagan's drug-free workplace executive order is still in effect. Many agencies have a rule implementing the EO that says "initiate removal proceedings if an employee tests positive." In practice, these "removal proceedings" will usually give you an opportunity to go to a rehab program (talk to the EAP counselor and find one that works for you so you can say "I went through the EAP"), but you will still be under removal proceedings while all this is ongoing so you will want to have a lawyer repping you through all this and you should plan on paying a $5-10k retainer for a white male, who are the only lawyers anyone will listen to.

2. If you're buying anything off the street it means you're interacting with actual criminals when you're [presumably] off-duty. Why would the government trust its secrets to a guy who hangs out with loser drug dealers? If you don't have a good answer to that question, don't give them a good reason to ask it.

the good thing about federal contracting is that you don’t have to worry about quarterly company performance and layoffs since the contracts are usually for several years. ask when the contract ends before accepting

the background check is retarded and could take 6+ months. i’ve heard of 12+ months for some people

i think you can start billing the contract as soon as you get your EOD date, which usually takes a few weeks

you can’t work on any classified stuff until you get an interim clearance (takes a month or two). if the interim is denied then you have to wait much longer, until the full background check completes
