I didn't think you could do a The Shining remake in an open concept hotel. But I am intrigued. Maybe they can do the iconic elevator door blood gushing scene with the six stacked washing machines, image #45

edit OH GOD. STAR WARS OUTTA NO WHERE? Wow, crossover event of the century!*

From the listing:

PROPERTY IS IN THE REUNION RESORT rental program which is reporting a gross income of almost $800,000. Contact for more details on this unique opportunity.

So, I mean, you're not wrong.

edit again:

Here she is: https://vacationrentals.reunionresort.com/452729/

$4,500/day off-season, $6,500/day peak season.

one last edit:

So $800k at $6,500 is minimum 33% occupancy rate. I don't know what typical vacation rental occupancy rates are, but that seems pretty high considering the cost. Says it sleeps 36 people, so let's say that's 9 families of 4. That's still over $700/night per family (or $500/night off season).

Applied for a clearance and was approved by a judge.

quote:

Over time, Applicant shifted away from the use of drugs, legal or otherwise, due to the
influence of his religious beliefs. In April 2019, on Easter Sunday, he made a commitment to
develop strategies for controlling his anxiety without the use of drugs. He now pursues a regimen
of exercise and good diet and has been meeting with a psychologist. He also attended Narcotics
Anonymous (NA) in mid-to-late 2020, and it has been two years since he has used marijuana.
Applicant completed his security clearance application (SCA) in October 2017, disclosing
his past marijuana use. He had no prior experience with the security clearance process.

In November 2018 Applicant underwent a clearance interview, admitting his marijuana use up until that
date. His use of marijuana continued for about six months thereafter. He does not associate with
persons who use marijuana, and he understands that the use of illegal drugs is not tolerated at his
place of employment and/or while he holds a clearance.

Applicant�s psychologist has extensive experience in evaluating security clearance applicants.
This provider did not diagnosis Applicant with a drug use disorder but, rather, with Social Anxiety
Disorder. He concluded that Applicant does not meet any of the criteria for substance use disorder
and that Applicant ��is free from any problems of drug or alcohol use and pose[s] no risk to the
national security as a result of his prior usage.��
Applicant is considered to be diligent and a person of integrity. His most recent work

A lot of those are boring because you just get generic credit card debt/etc without further details, but some paint detailed pictures of a fuckup:

https://doha.ogc.osd.mil/Industrial-Security-Program/Industrial-Security-Clearance-Decisions/ISCR-Hearing-Decisions/2021-ISCR-Hearing-Decisions/FileId/160768/ posted:

Findings of Fact
Applicant is a 40-year-old married man. He graduated from college in 2003, earning
a degree in criminal justice. He has been working as a background investigator since 2005,
and has held a security clearance since 2010. (Tr. 14) He completed his most recent
security clearance application in 2015, and failed to disclose any derogatory information.
The background investigation revealed that Applicant experienced a series of financial
problems and multiple work-related disciplinary actions. These issues as well as
Applicant�s failure to disclose them on his security clearance application form the basis of
the SOR allegations.

Financial Concerns
Applicant purchased a home in 2009. (GE 1 at 7) He was not particularly
knowledgeable about financial management. (Tr. 18) Consequently, he fell behind on his
mortgage payments. Ultimately, he began to fall behind on both consumer debts and
federal income tax debts for tax years 2011 to 2013. (GE 5 at 2; GE 13 at 9)
Subsequently, Applicant obtained a mortgage loan modification. As of July 2019, his
mortgage payments were current. (GE 8) The SOR alleged Applicant owes $2,785 on four delinquent accounts. Applicant
owes $1,067 for the account alleged in SOR � 1.a. In March 2021, he negotiated payment
plan with the creditor and made the first payment on March 23, 2021. Applicant owes $867
on a store credit card alleged in SOR � 1.b. He paid the debt and the account has since
been removed from his credit report. The SOR alleged in � 1.c. that Applicant owed $417
on a delinquent credit card. He satisfied this debt in March 2021. The SOR also alleges
that Applicant owed $434 on another store credit card account. In addition to the consumer credit accounts, Applicant also owes $15,288 in federal
income taxes. He fell behind because he incorrectly filed his tax return as a 1099
contractor. (Tr. 24; GE 13 at 7) In July 2018, the IRS garnished Applicant�s wages to
collect this income tax delinquency, which is from tax years 2011 to 2013, as alleged in
subparagraph 1.e. (GE 5 at 2; AE 9) After reaching a payment agreement with the IRS,
the Agency agreed to terminate the garnishment. (Tr. 24; AE 9) Applicant has been paying
the delinquency through an installment agreement since then. (AE 9) The current balance
of the Applicant�s federal tax liability is unknown from the record. However, as of March
2021, Applicant was one month behind on payments. (AE 9)

Work Performance Issues
Applicant has worked for federal contracting companies since 2005. Between 2008
and 2010, Applicant was employed by Company A, as a background investigator. In 2010,
Applicant started a business doing security clearance background investigations. From
2010 to 2016, he worked as an independent contractor to Companies B, C, and D, on
contracts with OPM and other federal agencies. Applicant closed his business in 2016 and
went to work for Company E as a personnel security specialist from 2017 to 2018.
During the two years that Applicant worked with Company A, he, received four
written warnings about his poor work performance. He signed one of the warnings in
February 2009, certifying that he received it, and he prepared a response that was
incorporated into his personnel file with the warning. (GE 3 at 6) Similarly, he signed a
warning that he received in May 2009. (GE 3 at 6) In or around August 2010, he was fired
from a company for unsatisfactory performance, as alleged in subparagraph 2.e.
Applicant�s multiple reprimands at Company A led to his dismissal in 2010.
After being dismissed from Company A in 2010, he began working with Company B
as an independent contractor. (GE 6 at 1) He was fired in November 2011 �because of
poor performance/timeliness/quality and communication issues,� as alleged in
subparagraph 2.f. (GE 6 at 1)

Applicant began working in an independent contractor status with Company C in
2011. In or around February 2012, Company C reprimanded Applicant for failing to protect
personally identifiable information (PII) after leaving sensitive materials at a courthouse, as
alleged in subparagraph 2.g. (GE 7 at 3; Tr. 38) In 2015, Company C suspended him and
moved to terminate his contract for transmitting case reports without making requested
revisions, failing to obtain and report issue information, neglecting to follow up on
information supplied in case papers, failing to report items pertaining to subject re-contacts,
and falsely reporting that he had contacted a subject when he had not, as alleged in
subparagraph 2.p. (Answer at 5; GE 7 at 8) After Applicant�s suspension, he failed to
cooperate with efforts to retrieve his work materials, prompting his employer to contact the
U.S. Office of Personnel Management�s Integrity Assurance branch (OPM). (GE 7 at 8)
Ultimately, Applicant�s mishandling of his case load prompted OPM to conduct an audit of
his cases. (Tr. 95) Applicant began working with as an independent contractor with Company D in
2011. (GE 4 at 1). In or around 2014, Company D terminated Applicant�s services, as
alleged in subparagraph 2.h because the quality of his work was poor and not completed
on time. (Answer at 4)

In 2017, Applicant began working for Company E as a personal security specialist.
(Tr. 40; GE 5) Subparagraph 2.s alleges that Applicant�s then-employer issued him a
written warning for failing to comply with requests for information relating to income tax
issues he was having at the time. The record contains evidence of e-mail between
Applicant and his employer regarding a request for documentation. (GE 5 at 16) The e-mail
correspondence does not specify the documentation sought, nor does it contain any
warnings. Applicant�s stint at this company was troubled. According to Company E�s
president, �the functions [Applicant was] asked to perform [were] very basic and that [he]
still struggled[d] with them, both in terms of speed and accuracy.� (GE 5 at 16) Ultimately,
In November 2018, Applicant�s employer dismissed him, as alleged in subparagraph 2.t.
Applicant began performing contract work for Company B again in August 2017.
(GE 6 at 1) In May 2018, Company B terminated his contract for failing to complete
required training. (GE 6 at 1) as alleged in subparagraph 2.r. (GE 12 at 5) There is no
record evidence setting forth the reason for the termination.

2015 Security Clearance Application Omissions
Applicant completed a security clearance application in 2015. (GE 1) He did not
disclose the written warning, while working for Company C, for failing to protect PII that
he received in February 2012 on his security clearance, as required. The SOR alleges
that this omission constitutes a falsification, as alleged in subparagraph 2.i, and that
subsequent failures to disclose this information during subject interviews in 2015 and
2020 constitute intentional omissions, as alleged in subparagraphs 2.n and 2.u,
respectively. Applicant contends that these omissions were unintentional oversights.

Applicant failed to list on the 2015 security clearance application the company where
he worked between 2010 and 2011. SOR subparagraph 2.j alleges that this omission
constituted an intentional falsification. SOR subparagraphs 2.m and 2.u allege that
Applicant�s subsequent omission of this job during subject interviews in 2015 and 2020
constitute intentional omissions. Applicant contends that although he worked for this
company in 2018, he did not work for it before completing the security clearance
application, contrary to the SOR allegation. (Answer at 4) The facility security officer
confirmed that Applicant worked at this company for two periods. The first period was
before the completion of the security clearance application. (GE 6 at 1) Applicant�s second
stint with this employer in 2018 led to his termination for failing to complete training, as
alleged in subparagraph 2.r. (GE 6 at 1)

In addition to alleging that Applicant intentionally omitted the job where he worked
between 2010 and 2011, SOR subparagraph 2.j alleges that Applicant intentionally failed
to disclose the company that fired him in 2014 on his 2015 security clearance application.
Applicant contends in his answer that this omission was an unintentional oversight.
SOR subparagraphs 2.m and 2.o allege that Applicant did not disclose the jobs
where he was terminated, respectively in 2011 and 2014, during successive subject
interviews in 2015 and 2020. Applicant received copies of both subject interviews after
completing them. He had the opportunity to review both investigator summaries, and make
any additions. Applicant certified that he read both investigator summaries. (GE 14 at 4;
GE 15 at 4) Neither report indicates that he disclosed these terminations.

(report just goes on and on like this for A While)

Yeah he clearly stuck himself between a rock and a hard place.

They don�t tell you to do anything during the process. They ask you questions. Some of those questions are about your history of drug use going back x years. If you lie to them, that is very bad. If you tell them �I was at a party and I wound up getting drunk and smoking a joint,� they don�t give a poo poo. If you lie to them about smoking a joint and they find out they will be upset with you.

totalnewbie: Nov 13, 2005; I was born and raised in China, lived in Japan, and now hold a US passport.

I am wrong in every way, all the damn time.

Ask me about my tattoos.

I've never gone through the interview but I suspect they probably also try to give you chances to redeem/help yourself in case you simply forgot what might have happened at a party 8 years ago (and were probably inebriated in some way).

When I had my interview for global entry (which is obviously much lower stakes), I was asked whether I took a trip to Mexico 5 years ago (from the time of the interview). I was really confused and said, "Uhh, no?" and went back and forth with the guy a couple times until he mentioned San Diego and I remember that I had a business trip to a supplier in San Diego and crossed the border to visit another supplier for a day. Hell I probably slept through the border crossing or just barely woke up enough to hand over my passport.

But I imagine if I swore up and down that I never went to Mexico, even when there was clear record of me (or at least my passport) crossing the border, that it could have ended differently.
