Security Clearance

[Davidson22]

Hi, I just swore in this week and was given the security clearance form to complete for my arrival at BMQ. For the residence and employment history it says to provide the information for the past 10 years, but there is a note on one page saying that the information is only required since your last security clearance. I was at BMQ in 2008 and completed my level 2 clearance (same level I need this time). So would I only need to provide my employment and address history from that time until now?

The reason I ask is because it would save me a lot of time and trouble trying to dig up information from little jobs I had in high school. It's too far back for me to remember when I started/quit, my supervisors name/number and I don't have any records ( I have tried digging through all my tax returns but they weren't helpful). 

I leave for st. jean on the 6th of July and I fear I won't have enough time to track down all the information. I will be out of town most of next week attending my grandmother and her boyfriends funerals, they just passed away this week.  So if I only had to provide for the past 5 years, that would be a huge relief since I already have that information since it was needed for the background check.

I cannot answer your question, but always keep copies of your security clearance info as it makes life easier moving forward. You will thank me in 10 years time.

I can't help you with the security clearance portion of your post, but if it turns out that you do need to retrieve employment background information, the below might be helpful.
