Unfortunately, the popular r/SecurityClearance subreddit on Reddit.com is heavily censored by the moderators, and candid discussion of polygraph matters is not allowed. As a remedy, AntiPolygraph.org has created an uncensored subreddit for discussion of security clearance matters. All are welcome to follow and participate in r/SecurityClearanceTalk: https://reddit.com/r/SecurityClearanceTalk |

Quote:Does anyone know if they drug test the same time as the polygraph test? I've only done the delta pen, but it's been about 3-4 weeks since I've done it (which was before I even applied). I said no to all the illegal drug use questions on the pre-employment questionnaire (because the delta pen is not illegal; you just get it from the local gas station lol), but I'm afraid I'll fail the drug test because of it. But if I reschedule the polygraph test, I feel like it would look sus or they just won't reschedule and that's it. Every time I have taken an initial pre-employment polygraph for federal agencies, the drug test was given the same day either before or after the poly. Kind of like a surprise. It has always been a piss test though the CIA also will draw your blood and test for HIV, but they don't tell you this. I have never had a hair follicle test for drugs but if you are worried just shave your head bald. You can pass a piss test for THC if you are clean for 30 days.

I think you can perhaps be calmer now that you understand that the polygraph cannot read your mind. And now that you understand the true function of probable-lie "control" questions, you can be sure to augment reactions to them.
Your chances of passing will also be better now that you understand that breathing slowly and evenly in an attempt to remain calm is something to be avoided.

I feel like I would've been set up better going in blind since probable lie questions would've been real for me and since I have nothing to hide on relevant questions I would've been fine. But now that I know how this works, I feel like I will think I will get more nervous at relevant questions thinking I should keep the response down and then undershoot CMs on control questions. Any advice on calming down on relevant questions now that I know how this works?

It's certainly possible that Schultz would have been required to pass a polygraph examination in connection with his work as an army intelligence analyst. However, to my knowledge, there is no public information available regarding whether, and if so when, Schultz was polygraphed.

I am posting here because the questions I have always get banned on other sites like Reddit on the /r/securityclearance sub and others, especially when the word "polygraph" comes up.
Several months ago I received a conditional job offer from a big company but I have heard nothing since. The job requires TS/SCI with a CI poly. I have a few questions here which I have numbered so if you can answer each that will be great.
1) I have not heard anything for many months since I submitted the SF86. Does the polygraph always come first or is there a chance the investigators have already started my background check?
2) They had me submit the SF86 via postal mail paper copies filled out (via typed on computer) instead of the e-Qip. The company reiterated that I was to postal mail in the SF86 forms and not send them electronically. Usually the DOD does eQip but this company said that the "customer" wants the paper forms. What does this mean; could the "customer" be a spy agency?
3) I am currently abroad but will be back in the U.S. within a few months. Can anything with a clearance happen while I am outside of the U.S, or must they wait until I am back in the U.S. to start the process?
4) I have foreign travel, once lost a job due to a failed poly, and have a misdemeanor (not related to sex, drugs, or alcohol). All this happened about 10 years ago and I have had no other issues since. Do you think this is an instant disqualifier?
5) Is there a backlog in clearances or are they just running behind? I have heard crickets since I submitted my SF86 forms.
I welcome all responses, subjective and objective.
