Hello All,

I would like to thank all of you from all the info re: Polygraphs. I was suspected of a crime over a month ago that was completly bogus. I was taken to CID and due to the BS alligations i waved my rights and gave a completely truthful statement. I was asked if i would be willing to take a Polygraph in which i said "yes" well to make a long story short after 5 hrs of playing good cop bad cop i was never given one. Well following my statement i was removed from my position and placed in a new job pending the outcome of the investigation. Not only was i mad about being removed i was mad because in the military unfortunatly you are considered guilty until inocent. Well, a month past and I did not hear anything, then my Lawyer calls and tells me that 2 Special Agents came to see him and said that you agreed to take a Polygraph and i set it up for you, but dont worry because even if you prove deceptive it is not admissible in UCMJ Trials. I said are you sure we should do this and he said (Lawyer) "you have noting to loose". So i said ok, and he said dont worrie i will be their. I said (nurviously OK). Well after speaking with him i started to do research and talked to trusted people in my life and decided not to take one. I called my Lawyer this moring and advised him that i will not take one and that i had offered to take one in the past and they had a chance to do it then. Did i make the right decision.. I truly value anyones opinion.
