Why does the US Navy restrict some jobs and security clearances from people that have been in the Peace Corps? |
I noticed some Navy jobs that require you to never have been a member of the peace corps. Anyone know why? Hi This is simple and I attached a few items below. It is a "two way" street. For the Peace Corps to exist there must never be any sense or possibilty of any individual having either the potential or the chance of being a covert agent. The Peace Corps exists as it has always been considered to be free of any intelligence agents or operations. To allow such would open the door for countries and terrorists to go after Peace Corps members. If it happens once, the entire trust that has been established for more than 40 years would be lost. Even countries that do not "like" the USA do allow Peace Corps volunteeres in. Many veterans serve in the Peace Corps (just no former Intelligence types) and some PC serve in the military. Peace Corps work can be dangerous depending on the country, its political situation. Many Peace Corps volunteers work in extreme climates, jungles, small isolated islands, many risks. After my Army career the Peace Corps actively recruited me. As i was medical corps, there were no issues. Sections of Army/Navy regulations. j. Applicants who are former member of the Peace Corps (such as volunteers, leaders and staff members) will not be assigned, attached, or detailed to an intelligence-type unit or position in the USAR. Persons who received Peace Corps training but did not go overseas with the Peace Corps are not considered former members of the Peace Corps. However, such persons will not be assigned duties in an MI field in and foreign country for which trained. Former members of the Peace Corps are not eligible for US Navy positions in intelligence. I know that the Peace Corps will not accept people who have military or CIA intelligence backgrounds of any kind. Source(s): cited above sections of military regulations. Because the peace corp is usually for hippies....my old english teacher was in and wow.....talk about a nut so and all his friends in the peace corp are the same way...i wouldnt want them with top secret info or security clearences Often times members of the peace corps have contacts in nations which are third-world, have terrorist organizations, or are anti-american in sentiment. This contact means that the security clearance of the person trying to join the Navy cannot be granted due to concerns over opsec and infosec. In other words, without clearance to see classified information, you can't work a job that requires handling that type of info. AF Officer The peace corp helps some nations that are not on the friendlest terms with the US. Some security clearances are diffucult to get no matter what. I was denied TS because my brothers wife was not born in the US. I didn't know they even allowed prior members of the peace corp in military service. I know I wouldn't MERRY CHRISTMAS and have a nice day. Thank you very much, while you're up!! |
