Can you hold a clearance once convicted of a felony?

by fpowars . Updated 12 years, 9 months ago

Hello all,

After graduating college, my drinking habits were that of a Heathen, I received 2 back to back DUI’s within a month…being 21 years old I moved on with my life, had a successful career in the government, I received Confidential and Secret clearances for the type of work that I was doing, 9 years passed,( I was the definition of a functional alcoholic).. right when I thought that my life was pretty well in order… I got hit with another DUI, New law in Virginia stating smell of alcoholic beverage was enough for them to nab me. And since, it was considered 3 DUI’s in 10 years, Virginia State Law convicts you of a Felony…Now being a year sober and being convicted of a Felony today!!!! I am wondering what will happen to my job, and my clearances… please lay it on me !!
