What's a detailed security clearance exactly?

[Canuck]

Hi boys, Can you help a young Crazy Canuck who wants to try to be one of the best warrior in the world, on the RN site they wrote this and I don't really
understand:
* You will be subject to a detailed security clearance procedure prior to joining.

What's that means,

Thanks Bootneck !!!!

That's all Folks

At the moment, they will want to make sure you have a valid british passport and a valid postal address in the UK.

If you have 2 passports/ dual nat, you will not be able to work in 'sensitive areas' ie RO.

If you dont have a stable british address, you will be asked to leave or buy one.

Rea1, I hate to p1ss on your parade but you are wrong about everything. Trust me on this......

I thought if you had a dual passport you would be restricted form certain trades aka sneaky beaky.

But the address thing, that is wrong. The RN back in 2003 achieved a big recruitment drive through out the common wealth countries. You don't have to have a UK address at all. Or has that changed now?

i think you just do a ctc check (counter terrorist check) ..i dont think it goes into financial stuff only developed vetting involves that

It's more likely that you would rx a proper Security Clearance (SC) that's between a CTC and a DV, Biffa.

roger rabbit -i stand corrected

DVA

This might be of interest.
