I have looked into defense companies - in fact the only interview I've had in the past year was with a defense company (I won't name them, and they are a BIG one). In this particular case, it was the CLOSEST I got to a job, however, I believe they made up some garbage about me not being able to pass security clearance, and I don't know why (U.S. Citizen with a squeaky clean record, no drug use, can count on my fingers the number of times out of the country, etc.) and they rescinded the offer.
Needless to say, I was PISSED. I had passed their background investigation with flying colors, and they simply refused to submit my app for security clearance, and told me it was internal information. So, I'm not so sure about defense contractors anymore . . .

Security Clearances can be bounced due to financially related problems. The employer (usually USA) is looking for employees who have nothing in their personal life that can be leveraged. A divorced middle-aged man with child support and a bankruptcy on his record is a big flashing light, not your case I'm sure but rather an example.
Come to Texas, we refuse to recognize a recession.
