I have filled out the paperwork and gone through 1 Secret and 2 Top Secret security investigations through the same OPM office and I can assure you that any small date mistakes will not be a problem. They are mainly looking for red flags and omissions. It is acutal people accomplishing the investigation and not a computer, so there is a human/personal touch to all of these.

AFTO summed it up nicely with "They are scanning (not scrutinizing) your life"
