This looks like justification to glut the market with in-experanced
security people, inorder to drop the rates to within government &
corprate budgets. If I remember correctly, this is the same
justification used for the H1B, just 1 year ago. When will the press
ever learn.

The current process for completing a TS package runs about 18 months
(not exact, mind you).  There is a process for completing a package,
which (in its basic form) consists of Standard Form (SF) 86, finger
print cards (two sets), DD 1879 (depends), Office of Personnel
Management (OPM) Cover Sheet.

We use Electronic Personnel Security Questionnaire (EPSQ) version 2.2
( http://www.dss.mil/epsq/index.htm )and for those that have NEVER
filled out an SF 86, EPSQ is very anal about full names, addresses,
telephone numbers.

General process for first timer is, member fills out SF 86, turns in
to security office, security office validates SF 86, notifies member
of any corrections (as needed), member corrects (as needed), turns in
SF 86, conduct pre-screening interview (runs about 1 hours), sign all
supporting documents, finger print, make four copies of the entire
package and mail to OPM via registered 1st class mail, wait for
registered receipt from OPM and now package is considered "OPEN
STATUS" and set your watches and wait for the results.
