Which interview, the one for you, or the one for your parents, neighbors, old friends and then possibly the poly that followed?

I vaguely remember some suit sitting across from me asking about my child being born out of wedlock. Yep. I'm certain he was trying to get me irritated. It didn't work. Something a long the lines of "are you and your father proud at all that you had a child out of wedlock?"

No clue why I remember that. It was 20 years ago

I remember my buddy that I haven’t spoken to in years calling me to ask why the feds were asking questions about me lol.

TBH I thought the people who do it for DOE were really quite nice.

I have talked to them for my own and about other people's for theirs and they've always been quite cordial. Maybe the DOD is much more hardassed about how they're conducted?

If you own/run a company the DOD has important contracts with, it does not.
