In some cases depending where she is from you lose you clearance. We had a E7 in ops who who he meat his wife in college. However, she lived in the US years before she went to college. Anyways when he went to renew his clearance they said no and the reason was becaues she was from Moscow.
Go a few years down the road they let him have it again and then few more years offered a MOS for a warrant officer becaues he was only 1 of 2 people in the Army that had what they needed.
It really depends on where the person is from, how the relationship is, whats you position.
I am not going to go into how long I known her and how we meet. If there was a problem she never would have passed the background cheeks. She is from a area that is no know for much. I am able to keep my secret clearance. The people who did he background was given all the information I have on her including all transcripts between us and the same for when I did my clearance again.
The Army when I went there was notified where I would be, when, and how long. Shortly before I left both times I had long brief and upon return had a debrief. How spies operate there, how the mafia operates there, how security works there, don't let them know about you military background, other stuff.
The thing about that is they should know anyways becaues its on you visa question regarding weapons.
Also top it all of every year the unit does training every year about what to look for in espionage, territories, avoid being target, you get the point.
Really there is no need to go nuts over it. Everything has been checked, double checked, cross referenced, things considered, all came up good.
Sorry chap, but no one that's Regular Army is good enough to spot an actual spy. Those classes are a joke. I know the OPSEC drill. You do NOT get the point. The point is, is that some desk riding POG back in Washington thinks that class is good enough to make you as apt as James Bond. It's almost as brilliant as making a Mechanized Infantry unit pull Stand 2 duty in the middle of Iraq. You getting a debrief coming back from Russia, is just like every solider getting a piss test that comes back from Copenhagen. It's a no brainer. Now the Russian Mafia does run that country. Different Mafia's run different parts of the country. An American solider is worth a lot of money, or simply an easy target to rob if they know who you are.
