Not sure if it’s still this way but for DOD secret clearances used to take 6 months to a year. Companies will hire people and have them work offsite or on sideline stuff while they wait for the clearance to come through and then they can start the real job. 6 weeks seems super fast by comparison.

The change is that there used to be a waiver that let new hires start right away as long as they are supervised. The waiver is going away so they won't be able to start early.
