So what is the MOS (in the army) where you will "see" polygraphs?  Please elaborate.


Zac,

Check this site:
http://www.fas.org/sgp/othergov/polygraph/dod-2000.html 
for the year 2000 statistics on DoD use of the polygraph.

Notice the stats on the CI Scope usage (since criminal and exculpatory don't matter here).  The CI breakdown for usage is listed:

(1)  Special Access Programs                 2,128
(2)  DIA Critical Intelligence Positions      1,234
(3)  TOP SECRET                                 0
(4)  Examinations for Interim Access to Sensitive
Compartmented Information                   0

Basically , it is the position, not the MOS, that determines whether you will need a clearance.  Note that the Special Access Programs are a step above SCI access.  TS and Interim SCI don't polygraph.

Hope this clears up the question.

Chris

I'm in the military and have a TS clearance and two other clearances.  Out of about 30 people I started my training with, only one had to submit to a polygraph test (administered by the DIS/DSS).  It was a direct result of information they had uncovered on the background investigation.  I'm assuming he passed because he did get his TS.  My advice is simple.  Don't lie on your SF86/EPSQ (Very detailed security clearance application.  Lots of stuff to fill out).  There are good odds of them finding out that you lied and then you probably will be required to take a polygraph.  You might be suprised about what the services will accept.

What is the procedure for updating your SF-86?  I recently enlisted in the millitary, and  made a few mistakes filling my SF-86 out.  What the ramifications for alerting the millitary to the errors?

Chris,

How did the individual become an example of why NOT to lie? Did he suffer other consequences besides being dropped from being considered for clearance?

Thanks
