I have many family members who work for the government. Most of them also used to be in the military because it is such a good segway into government contract work. But I know that now is not the greatest time for anyone to enlist, lol.
You would actually be surprised that it is not all that difficult to get a clearance. I knew plenty of people when I was in the Army who had certain things in their past and still got a clearance. there are different levels of security clearances and probably would not need a very high one to get an entry level job with the Gov't.PLus, the Gov't is hurting for qualified people right now.
