  1. Get a job where you will need such a clearance.
  2. You employer will apply for the clearance and pay for the FBI investigation.
  3. You will have to fill out a form (for Secret the form is about 50 pages long and documents at least the last 10 years of your life, for Top Secret it is probably longer and goes back further).
  4. The FBI will investigate you, interviewing anybody that ever knew you in that period. This investigation will take about 2 years.
  5. During this waiting period you will do unclassified work or even make-work jobs.
  6. If the FBI approves you, your employer's security officer will have you sign a set of non-disclosure agreements.
  7. Now you can begin to work on the project - IF you a specific need to know about that part of the project.
  8. Every 2 years the FBI must reinvestigate you for you to keep the clearance.
  9. If you lose that job, you can keep the clearance and if you get another job in 2 years from your last FBI investigation you can use it there, after signing new non-disclosure agreements.

If you will need nuclear clearances the employer's original application must be for a Secret-L or Top Secret-Q clearance, not just the normal clearance. Adding the L or Q on an existing clearance can be done but requires more bothersome paperwork and FBI investigations.
