Hello,
I have served in the Air Force for 4 years and have held a TS/SCI (non-poly). I separated from the Air Force in 2005. After 3 years out of the military, I applied for the police department, which required a poly. I had failed miserably. First, i didn't disclose any of the information that I had told the polygraph examiner on the initial police application, so I believe that I failed without even going through the poly exam.
My main question is, if I were to join the Air Force reserves, would that failed polygraph be enough to deny me a security clearance?
Thanks in advance. :)
Thanks for your help everyone, I found my answer here: :P

Did your background investigation reveal the information you intentionally withheld from your application? Or did it come out only because of the poly?
Thanks for the reply pailryder,
I had admitted everything when the polygraph examiner had questioned me. The BI was going to start after I had finished the poly.
I have done a BI in the military two years before i had gotten out, so i'm pretty sure that the BI would have come back clean. I'm pretty sure there's no derogatory information if someone were to conduct a BI, but the thing is i would like to get my clearance back, and hopefully it (security clearance) won't get denied because i confessed to some things to the poly examiner. Again, thanks for your help.
