Applicant self-disclosed a history of drug use limited to a 10-month period. Applicant has disassociated himself with anyone using drugs, adopted a lifestyle inconsistent with drug use, and submitted a signed statement of intent that any future drug use would result in the automatic revocation of his security clearance. He also submitted evidence from a licensed professional counselor and certified addictions counselor who concluded Applicant does not have an illicit drug problem. Based on evidence presented and taking into account the whole person concept, Applicant has mitigated drug involvement security concerns. Clearance is granted.

These are very useful. I wonder if State uses the same guidelines for mitigation factors as DOD.
