In Reply To: if someone eventually goes to work as a NOC (it's not decided as part of the COE), then you just completely change your story and say your clearance was denied or you declined the offer and you've gone into whatever profession they give you. this is why i was hesitant to even mention that i was pursuing govt employment to most people because i didn't want them to even assume i was interested in the govt in case i run into them someday in the future while i am working as a noc.
Message: I never mentioned to people that I was interested in a gov't job. The first that they ever heard was when the investigator said that he was DoD. When they asked, I just said that it was a job with a political consulting firm that requires some clearance (I had names for a few such firms). Still, I think that it'd be better, in some ways, if the investigators didn't announce their gov't affiliation and just said that they were hired as part of a general pre-employment background check.
