CHL Residency / Employment issues

PocketDrummer · July 19, 2010, 09:31 PM

I'm attempting to fill out the CHL information here, but I'm hitting a brick wall when it comes to my residency and my work history. I don't know the month for any of those things, and the year is even a toss up for some. Do I need to have the exact month and year for each or just a general guess (as long as the addresses are correct)?

It is only for the last 5-years, so I expect they want month and year. The form should have space for comments and you can note that say 1/07 is your best estimate of the date but it could be several months before and after.

This is why I tell the kids, keep a list of where you have worked, who the supervisor was and the phone number. I really wish I had that list the first time I got a security clearance.

Got to the end of the application and there wasn't a space for comment. Is it safe to submit it as-is?

I contacted the site and they told me, "It's ok to guesstimate"
