Re: Is Infosec for me?

Hi Bob,

Sheldon's advice is good - you should  probably look into it. But keep
in mind the SF-86 (???) and accompanying back ground check is fairly
thorough. I don't a pardon will erase the past when being investigated
for a position if you are asked to fill it out (can any Security
Officers comment?).
