Actually, you filled out some paperwork when you signed up that was sent
forward; it wasn't much more than a check against all of the govts "evil type
people" databases. However, I understand that it depends on what Level of
background check as well. A limited background investigation involves
filling out a long form saying that you've been a good boy/girl; it goes up
from there. "Civilians" are different from military as well; after all, in
one they own you, in the other, you can actually go home at night.;-)
