do you have to be a citizen to have a federal government security clearance ?

No you do not.  There are several positions, including in the military, where non-citizens are granted classified and even secret clearance.  It is customary to not grant Secret(wintel) & (noforn) or above to these individuals for obvious reasons.  Sadly this prohibition can be over-reaching.  A good friend of mine, who was wildly intelligent, was denied an appropriate position because his parents fled Mao Tse Tung's cultural revolution when he was just 6 months old.  Although fully naturalized, he wasn't permitted a clearence due to where he was born.  The case is different for British & Canadian citizens and a few other close allies (Micronesia & Phillipines).  Tha answer is not clear cut, but is not an unequivical 'no'.

The NCIC may be used for law enforcement purposes only. I have clearance as well, being a police dispatcher access is limited to necessity as well as security.

none of your friends, neighbors (current and former), relatives and acquaintances can be viewed as security risks.\n\nIf there is someone that might be viewed as a security risk, it is best to fess up to it now.\n\nGetting top secret clearance is not necessarily difficult to obtain, it is just that your past history will be scrutinized. You school records, medical records, driving record, police record are all going to be investigated. Your neighbors past and present, your parents neighbors past and present, are going to be interviewed. All of your personnel files at all places where you have worked are going to be reviewed. The DoD is going to want to know who your friends are, your lovers, where you have traveled. Details about your family.\n\nIt is no joke.

So far as I can remember when going through the recruiting process, you need to be a permanent resident to join the Reserves, but I think you must be a citizen to join the Regular Force.

Absolutly.  Non-Citizens can join the US Armed Forces.  However, their security clearance and job opprotunities will be restricted (I don't think the Navy will let them run nuke reactors on its ships and so on).  They must gain citizenship to be most NCO ranks (I knew one who was an E-5 working on his naturalization) and all officers must be citizens.

Yes.  But be sure you are not interested in any position that involves security clearance.  If you get married to a felon, it could limit your ability to move up the ranks since it might affect your ability to get approval to do some military tasks.

I am Canadian/American, I have dual citizenship.  Yes Canadians could serve in the American military during those times. (1968-1971)  Both of my Canadian citizen uncles did. (One in Vietnam)  As for how to check the status of this individuals citizenship,, Before Homeland Security checking through Canada would have been very easy, you'd have checked the persons Social Insurance Number (SIN) The Canadian equivalent of the American Social Security Number....Now with security being so tight, Canada is reluctant to release any info like that to the public. \n\nIf the person is a drug dealer, call the authorities and let them sort it out.\n\nIf you suspect they are fraudulently receiving money from The American Government, call The Social Security Admin.  Fraud Hot line number.  It is a 1-800 number and can be found in most phone books, or you can call your local Social Security office and anonymously give the information to them, and wait for them to investigate it.

A Citizen has the same rights as a perminent resident of the USA.  If you are born in this country you are considered a **naturalized** perminent resident and therefore a citizen.\n\nNow, those holding passports and visa's to enter this country are not entitled to all the legal rights and suvivorship rights that rightful citizens are.\n\n********As i wasn't clear enough, let me be a bit more clear for those who would say i'm wrong********\n\n***Insert***\nIf you are a permanent resident of the United States – i.e., hold a green card – you can become a U.S. Citizen through naturalization. There are several requirements – with some flexibility – to get naturalized. \n\nTo become naturalized you must have lived in the country as a permanent resident for five years, you have been physically present in the U.S. for at least half of that time, you are a person of good character, you have basic knowledge of U.S. history and government, you can read, write, and speak basic English, you are 18, legally competent, and you express your allegiance to the United States. \n\nAlso, if you were required to file a tax return while in the United States, and did not, you will be denied citizenship status. \n\nHis question didn't pertain to JUST permanment residents.  His question could have applied also to naturlized residents, which do have the right to vote, suvership benefits, ect that normal citizens have.

Unless you are in one of the few communist states in America, all you will need to fill out is a 4473...all of your personal information, a question asking if you are the actual buyer of the firearm, several questions concerning any criminal record, a question concerning your american citizenship, another asking if you have ever denounced your citizenship, and that's about it...the store calls the FBI, they make sure you are telling the truth and you can legally own a firearm, and if you are approved, you're done.  Alot less complicated than it sounds...plus, of course, you must be 18 or older...

Naturalization policies aren't automatic in any country.  You don't have anything until you apply for it.  But, in general, you can't get citizenship in a country without living there for some time as a resident alien and then passing a test.
