Yes. It wasn't an FBI clearance. Now, a government contractor could very well be doing the back ground investigation for your clearance.
No one should EVER reveal the level of clearance they HAVE or HAD. Anyone who has had a clearance above CONFIDENTIAL should know that. Anyone who DOES reveal their clearance (past or present) is either a FOOL or a LIAR.

I did work at the local federal installation on a temporary assignment for a couple of weeks almost 50 years ago. I don't know if I needed FBI clearance then or not.
My parents were both employed by the federal government. My father was chief of classification and wage and my mother was a systems analyst at what was a military surplus depot.
Probably neither of them needed any clearance since they weren't privy to top secret information. The installation was strictly military supplies, but it might have included materiel. I just can't say. Sorry.

I didn't work for the government but I worked for a contractor and did jobs in high security areas, such as nuclear bases and propulsion labs. They required FBI clearance. With my background I don't know how I was cleared but they cleared me. Probably because I wasn't a national threat, just a bad boy.

Yes, first job out of college required a high level security clearance..the FBI came around my neighborhood and went door to door... I guess the neighbors lied enough for me to get clearance, I got the job at any rate. I suspect that it would be very difficult to get clearance in this day and age. Good luck

I'm not American...but when I was nursing in the Armed Forces up here in Canada, I quite often got picked to "special" all the highest ranking officers when they needed medical care or surgical procedures.
People are very vulnerable when they are ill...they can be especially loose tongued when coming around from anaesthesia. So I was chosen as the special nurse for their care, just because I was able to pass a comprehensive security clearance to the level necessary (which is just as high as the officers themselves--we're talking Admirals and Generals here).
And whenever one of them was actually "in my care", having our equivalent of the "Secret Service" watch my every move and shadow me for the time I was off shift was a little scary at first...but since I had no inclination to do anything wrong, I just learned to brush it off...took to waving at my "covert escort" when I entered my residence block. I am sure that they also had my quarters and my phone bugged, but it was all just part of the job to me. I never got upset by it.

I didn't require a security clearance while working for government; however, I did require more than one clearance while working for a private defense contractor.
Have had top secret DoD and top secret with the 'Company'

Yes, I had a security clearance, but it was not from the FBI.
I worked on the Gemini program before NASA was
established. I worked for a
major contractor for the program. I had a Secret
Clearance. Now, does that
get me any retirement perks?
Not on your sweet bippy!
