Summary
A former U.S. Navy member, born in September 1969, was denied a security clearance due to concerns under Guideline E (Personal Conduct), Guideline F (Financial Considerations), and Guideline J (Criminal Conduct). The applicant had a history of criminal conduct, including multiple instances of writing worthless checks to obtain property and services, such as to a grocery store and a medical center. Additionally, the applicant was convicted of felony grand theft.
Further issues arose from the applicant's personal conduct, specifically providing false official statements on his security clearance application. These false statements included omitting significant employment history and criminal charges. While some financial concerns were mitigated by the applicant paying off delinquent debts, this was insufficient to overcome the broader security risks.
The denial was based on the applicant's long history of criminal conduct, the false official statements made on the application, and a failure to demonstrate successful rehabilitation or that similar violations would not recur. The applicant's security clearance was ultimately denied.
