There isnt a polygraph unless your going for a TSCI clearance.


I hold a TS clearance ... Always have. I work as a DOD contractor.
The EPSQ is obsolete and it is not used any longer. For DoD clearances they use what's called "e-QIP". It is similar to the EPSQ but it is more up-to-date. It is an on-line application through the DoD clearance databased call the JPAS. However, the CIA is an intel agency and doesn't currently comply with DoD processing nor do they have to. This will be changed soon as the Director of Central Intelligence makes some changes.

If you have done drugs and did not state that on your clearance application (SF86, SF85p, EPSQ, e-QIP, etc.) you have committed a federal offense. The clearance application is a legal document and therefore, what you put on it must be truthful. If found that you lied you could go to jail. Either a $10k fine or over 10 years in imprisonment.

In addition, rilla will be polygraphed which means that if he states on his form that he did not do drugs and then admits or doesn't admit during the poly, he will have some explaining to do Lucy. In other words, he may not pass or it may take him several attempts to pass the poly.

I've said this before, I have done drugs and passed a polygraph. I admitted to this and everything was fine. I hold a TS/SCI with a full scope polygraph through a very popular intel agency.

If you haven't done drugs within the last year from the date of your poly, you will be fine. Agencies that have issues with drugs are the agencies that fight crime like the FBI and DEA. If you have ever done drugs in your life these agencies will not accept you.

fasin8ing, I would be very careful to give the advice that you gave to anyone that you work with or is applying for a job that requires a clearance. Very bad advice and I hope that you did not lie on your clearance application.
