I had the worst polygraph you can imagine, and now a friend wants to go to polygraph school. I was in the Navy; a female friend and I had a few drinks and then sex, which she actually suggested. The next day when she sobered up she decided she had been raped. I took a Navy polygraph and they first said I passed it, and then told me I failed it. A long story short I lost a rank, so my career was over so I got out and I came back to San Diego.
A friend still in the Navy called and told me he wants to go to a school in San Diego called Backster School of Lie detection. Since he was still overseas I went by the school in S.D. for him but the school seemed to be closed. My friend is getting out of the Navy soon so he called the school directly and asked when he could attend. They said they were closed in San Diego and would be doing no more courses there, but they would be doing one at a state prison in the Sacramento, Ca. area. Then they would be doing a class next year in Europe. The first think that pisses me off is that as a resident of the State of California, why am I and other taxpayers subsidizing up to 30 people to go to polygraph classes at a state prison? According to Backster's website which I checked they get free housing and $8.00 a day for three meals! The people in this state are paying for that? I did a little more research and found out that all schools are controlled by the Ca. Bureau of Private Post Secondary. So I went on their website to maybe file a complaint. Under Title 5, BPPE code of Regulations I discovered that you have to have a home school location. You can't just move around the country like a circus doing polygraph classes out of the trunk of your car, you have to have a home school which they don't. Does anyone think they will do something about this? WFT!
Homie,
Can you clarify something for me? You say you were reduced in rank, which I assume was the result of Non-Judicial Punishment. Under which article of the UCMJ were you prosecuted?
I'm assuming you were not convicted of rape otherwise you'd be in the brig for years, not a just a reduction in rank. I'm certain you were not punished simply for the results of an NIS administered polygraph.
Please connect the dots.

Did the examiner who passed you change his call or was he reversed by quality control review?
