I'm hoping it'll be like my Secret background check, where I just filled out the eQip paperwork and then they never bothered interviewing me or any of the contacts.
was that in 2005/2006?
No, it was about a year ago. I was on assignment for the department of state, and they only require Secret, but now I'm moving to the department of justice and they require TS so I need to do the fucking paperwork all over again.

Could be, pretty sure when I got bumped up to SCI they didn't re-investigate me but they were fairly thorough the first time.

I won't actually be working for the DoJ and I won't have any power with them, my company is just contracting me out.
I kinda want to see if I can get one of those nifty FBI windbreakers, though.

I don't really remember the movies, but that's just what I recall from the old comics. I had a few of the old trade paperbacks and I am remembering a panel with a close up of the rat with the owner in a pose in the background.
... I wonder where those comics are now. Did I throw them out?

Don't think it really makes sense (logic, in a fiction about anthropomorphic turtles?) for Splinter to be a human first.
The ooze mutates normal creatures into humanoids. Doesn't seem like it would give random rat features to a human.
It was because he was living around rats at the time. Human + Animal + Radiation/Mutagen = Humanoid Animal, it's a standard thing in Comics and Cartoons

Unless something major has changed, you've traveled out of country a bunch or have relatives who did, or you commited a bunch of crime since getting your secret, it probably will be similar.
Before following any advice, opinions, or thoughts I may have expressed in the above post, be warned: I found Keven Costners "Waterworld" to be a very entertaining film.

In late March, Michael Bay posted on his website explaining the title change and stressing that nothing had changed regarding the Turtles. He stated the reason the title was shortened was a request by Paramount to make the title "simple". He continued that the Turtles were the same as fans remember and regardless of the title change they still act like teenagers. He urged everyone to give everybody who was involved a chance, as they had the fans interest at top priority and would not let anybody down.
...
An early version of the script, dated 1/30/12, titled "The Blue Door" and written by Appelbaum and Nemec, was leaked online. It features major changes to the origins: the Turtles hail from another dimension on Dimension X that consists of turtle warriors, Splinter is an alien from the same dimension as well, Shredder is "Colonel Schrader", a government agent who is secretly an alien who can grow blades from his body, "The Foot Clan" is just "The Foot", an elite Black Ops unit led by Col. Schrader, Casey is an 18 year old security guard/amateur hockey player that finds the Turtles and is the focus of the movie, April is also 18 and is having relationship troubles with Casey because she is moving to New York due to an internship at CBS, Raphael is the comic relief instead of Mikey, and Mikey falls in love with a turtle woman from his home planet.
...
Peter Laird read the script and commented on his blog that "all true TMNT fans should be grateful to the new 'powers that be' that they did not allow this wretched thing to go any further."
They should throw out their current script and make this version so I can start laughing and never stop.

I'm not surprised. DoS was strict as fuck, I didn't have a computer for quite some time after I got there so I literally couldn't do any work, but I'd get yelled at if I tried reading a book (I'd usually just walk outside and read on the rooftop park). My friends at the DoJ said it was lax as hell, you don't need to sign in and out, people dick around all the time, and as long as you're getting your work done they don't give a fuck what you do. The commute would be long as hell (3-4 hours/day), but at least I'd be at a reasonably fun work environment.

Talking of security checks, my Dad has some fun ones when when he worked for the Home Office in the 70s, and especially when his friend was up for MI5 (he didn't get it cos of butsex being an easy way to blackmail someone).

I'm pretty sure they'll actually interview me for this one. I don't know if they'll bother contacting any of my references, but all of my friends with TS clearances were interviewed.

I disagree.
Uh, in the cartoon he was a human who turned into a rat with the ooze stuff I think. IDK about the comics.
I'm not being contrary! I don't like it is all. I'm allowed to not like things.
And I'm not a brony (ie?) - I am an amateur pony enthusiast

Wanna keep talking shit?
Let's ask your bronie bro what he thinks about talking shit.
What do you think about talking shit brony bro?
Indeed, brony bro. Indeed.
Stay tuned to find out!
I think he was a rat pet of a karate master who learned Kung fu pre-mutation by watching his owner from his little cage.
they also interviewed my previous neighbors whose info I did not give.

In the cartoon, he was the karate master.
this is the movie origin, at least.
So the live action movie was most accurate then.

Seems so! I award Desc two internets.
The pet rat origin is the original comics origin.
