Dear Mustbealiar,

Thanks for your support and letting me know about your experience.  

Based on what you and TC have said, it sounds like getting a low level clearance is doable.  The position I'm applying for at State requires only a Secret.    

It sounds like even a (non-poly) TS might be possible.  But your advice rings true with my own experience. I will never take another polygraph.

One polygraph is already one more than any good, honest person should have to experience in a lifetime.                    

Best wishes,

Mr. Bellemont
