He could get get through that fast if he was applying at Inyokern or China Lake or maybe even Lone Pine.

Poor Ted

Ted:

As a mother I worry about you!  And I also wonder what kind of a woman raised you? 

Your comments about God are hurtful to those of us who do believe in a higher power. Your lack of ability to tell the truth, your un-lawful background, your eagerness to make yourself come off like a jerk. Your total package should never have the honor to wear a badge..........................

Again, I hope that God is watching, (and your B.I. too) and your pretend career in law enforcement comes to a end both in real life and in your twisted little mind. As you and all that you stand for would disgrace a honorable profession.

I agree with one of the past posts - Try Wallmart -Target - Big 5 -or maybe you should just stop the BS and admit that you are a 1st class JERK!

I do hope everyone notices that there are "2" A Moms posting.........  Though I would imagine by reading the posts most people could tell the difference....and I do agree with the last Mom's opinion.....I just would like it know that there are two of us...........
Thanks.

Ted..................

My only problem with you is that you seem to gloat that being a liar and past drug user/seller is OK. NO IT IS NOT!!!!!!!!!!

And your comments about our/my child and being a liar like you.........well....Ted....I have a great realationship with my son....and I know what he has done in his life.....and I am so proud of the choices that he has made........never.......ever....involved with drugs....nor would he even consdier telling anything but the truth during a polygraph.......yet........because he has a conscience and  the lack or even desire  (like you) to believe that whatever you have done in your life is OK..... he failed the test..........maybe he did take too many breaths,  and maybe he  yawned during the test..... or maybe Ted, he applied duiring a month when WHITE BOYS NEED NOT APPLY..due to some quota...........Ted face it you are pathitic and should never be honored with the ability to effect others and enforce law.......as you my poor misguided young man are in no position to do so. As you are someone who is obiviously troubled......angry.....and basically a screwed up boy who is looking for ways to be a BIG MAN ???and use a badge to pick on others and make yourself feel important.

Ted spare us all and find another profession...................As, what the world nedds now is less like you and more people with respect for the human race.

Kona, you are right.  I was no angel and I did stupid things in the past.  As for being a drug dealer, I was not that.  Yes, I sold minute amounts of marijuana to my friends on a handful of occations as a highschooler, but that does not make me a drug dealer.  Believe me, there are people out there that are much more deserving of the title.  I am not making excuses, however, because I know I did wrong.  As for taking drugs, I am done forever.  I do not even drink anymore.  I never did like taking drugs or drinking.  I feeling of "not being in control" was not enjoyable to me.  As for Mom, I was never a bully and I am not looking to pick on people.  I understand your fustration in that your son failed the polygraph, but if you think you know everything about your son and everything your son has done and every decision he has made, then you need to follow the Yellow Brick Road back to reality.  Tell your son to get his balls back from you and go out there and get the law enforcement job is he wants it bad enough.  I got my job so I am happy.

Kona:

I agree with you that we all have made mistakes in our pasts.  This as you well know, is a part of growing up and testing our wings.  However, I do not think that everyone has done drugs, sold drugs, and bragged on a web pages that they lied about past usage.

I just felt that Ted came off like a smart ass who was so excited that he beat the system he needed to brag about it.  I was also personally offended by his remarks about GOD.  I am by no means a holy roller, but I do take offence at comments like those made by Ted.  I just bet if he were in a fox-hole somewhere being shot at, GOD would enter his mind as a possibility if nothig more.

Now on to my son.  He did not even know that this site was around when he took the polygraph.  And he would not have known what a coutermeasure was if one knocked him on his head.  He never, felt any reason to prepare for a polygraph as he was planning on telling the truth.  He was just one of the many who failed a test that could not find a lier from someone being totally honest.  Many who post on this site have found themselves in the same position.  Wrongly accused of using countermeasures or out and out being dishonest.

You were right though, as even if he had known about this site I doupt he would have read the material as he would have found it enethical.  And again, he had nothing to hide !!!!! I am the one who found this site, and personally found comfort in the fact that my son was not the only one to be wrongfully judged.  On a few occasions I tried to get him to read some of the other posts from others who told the truth and failed...  But at that point he was so disgusted and hurt and to be honest pissed off that he refused. If I knew now what a benefit being imformed would be I would have downloaded the damm thing myself......  And I encourage all to become as informed as possible before placing yourself in the polygraphers chair.  Heck, it is like anything in life, be imformed...be prepared.....And I would if asked, tell the world that I did prepare myself for this test as I would any other. So - what.........as if this "little hiring tool" was so darn perfect it should not be able to be beat by countermeasures anyway.    

You sound like a great person !  Keep posting here as someone with your attitude and insight should be a part of all of this.

And, yes I know that not all cops are little angels.....In the past I have worked side by side with some of LAs finest.....
