Can't download EPSQ online

[themongol]

Im trying to dowload the EPSQ online (https://sclient.dss.mil/download/) but I got the following error:
Server Error

This server has encountered an internal error which prevents it from fulfilling your request. The most likely cause is a misconfiguration. Please ask the administrator to look for messages in the server's error log.

Anyone knows what the problem is? I have everything completed except the damn EPSQ.

Yeah, their server has encountered an internal error which prevents it from fulfilling your request...

I'd recommend contacting the administrator...

Or ask someone here if they might have a copy of the program.

I downloaded a PDF form from this website:

http://www.opm.gov/forms/html/sf.asp

My processor said this can be used instead of the program. The form is SF 86 and SF 86 A if you need more space.

If it's a paper version of the EPSQ, then I'm highly suspect of it being "okay" to use. Your clearance is submitted electronically, either by disk or by the 'net, so someone would have to enter that data in manually. I'd doubt it's a recruiter who'd do it.

PM me if you would like the installer and I can e-mail it to you.

It's a fillable PDF form, so it's not exactly paper. The processor was confident that it would qualify.

The DSS website http://www.dss.mil/epsq/index.htm says that there was a change this year in how the EPSQ will be submitted. They are switching to e-QIP http://www.opm.gov/e-qip/. Has anyone else seen this? Am I looking at the right website?

If they've changed their methods, then roger that. If it's still the same system they used to use, a fillable PDF probably wouldn't work, since the EPSQ program is a database-based program (circa 1980-something).

If they have moved to something modern, then good on them. Either way, I'm sure "they" will find some way to make me renter everything again when the time comes.

My recruter tried to send me the epsq.exe file but was quarantined. Here's the message i got: "Symantec Mail Security replaced EPSQ.exe with this text message. The original text contained prohibited content and was quarantined."

So am pretty much clueless about how to fill out an epsq. I can't even obtain an epsq.

Lots of firewalls wont let a .exe file through. Tell whomever sent it to you to change it to a .doc file extension and send it that way. Of course, you'll have to change it back to .exe once you get it on your computer.
