This has me wondering something. Does an ACD "exist" in one's
records? Is it completely expunged after a time? If yes, then if
someone is pursuing a government security clearance and had an ACD
in the past 10 years, would they be required to divulge this? If
someone has a clearance despite this, can it be expunged from their
personnel / security record?
