I am going through "ABC" hiring process and I may receive a COE. If I do I will go through the regular checks and balances.

I am curious of what you think my chances are?

- Never been convicted of anything
- Have minor speeding tickets, 2 in a life time
- Normal debt for an adult who graduated college and owns a house
- drug use in the past 5 years is once, which was roughly 2-3yrs ago, drug use in the past 10 years is maybe twice including the 5yr incident, 5-6yrs ago.
- drug use in high school 11+ yrs ago was recreational
- i honestly have nothing to hide
- good grades in school (high school / college)
- never been fired
- same job for almost 5 years

Not sure what else to list, but baring my poly my back ground is quite boring. Any pre-existing medical conditions hurt any chance, for sight, hearing, etc? I see on the website for ABC it states they do no discriminate on disablilty but test you for disability flaws?

SPOOKY DOOKY

There is no need to call the agency "ABC".  We are all open in this forum.  Just say CIA or NSA or FBI or whoever.  If you look through this website, we expose everything with nothing to hide.  Interview processes, polygraph questions, locations of buildings like the CIA's Dulles Discovery Bldg in Chantilly, VA or the NSA's Friendship Annex at Airport Square Technology Park and Industrial Park near the Baltimore Washington International airport.  If you want answers, you have to let it all out.

for the FBI they have a strict policy of no drug use in last ten years excluding prescription abuse and marijuana.
CIA has policies that are less strict due to the fact it is not apart of the DOJ or DOD. however, drug use in the past 12 months will inhibit your chances of getting a clearance and still want to know about all drug use. look at websites and they state drug policies.

do not say what agency your applying to, its unnecessary. spooky doesn't even give a reason on why u should.
