here's what I went through a while ago and my application got discontinued. I've been trying to serve my country for over 4 years (tried to enlist in the military, but ASD is DQ).

1. Submit resume and references + transcript. 2. 2 months before I got CJO. 3. Did a Hirevue recorded interview (after I got my CJO ironically). 4. Filled out SF-86 (100+ pages) month and a half. 5. 6 hours total interview with investigator (I mistyped some info on my sf-86 and there was confusion with gaps between unemployment). 2 months after I submitted my SF-86. 6. Scheduled full scope poly 2 months out. 7. Flew out to do my poly and waited an hour and a half in the cold waiting for the Hotel shuttle to pick me up. My hands turned pink. 8. Got accused of lying during suitability poly, so I had to return the next day (and miss 2 more days of classes). Then got told that I actually passed my suitability poly. Passed CI poly. Was told by the Psychologist that I had to send documentation from every therapist or psychologist/psychiatrist I've ever been to. I have ASD, ADHD, Dyslexia, and Anxiety. I felt my medical conditions contributed to the suitability discontinuation. 9. 4 months later and I got an email stating that due to my "behavior, conduct and/or traits that my application is discontinued". Which is a way to easily get out of a appeal process for a denial for a clearance. 10. me: -_-
