I am currently considering a reclassification to 35T. I have the necessary security credentials, however I am unsure about doing a CI poly during an AIT. The DA-PAM 611-21 does not list this requirement but I have been unable to verify that there is no poly. Of course, I have no issue with doing the test outside of AIT, but I cannot risk an unsuccessful re-enlistment contract, if I do not know. Does anyone have any insight into this?

It's a Counter Intelligence polygraph. The only way you're going to fail a CI poly is if you have been supporting terrorist organizations, or organizations bent on overthrowing the government. In which case.... MI probably isn't for you

That seems like a "easier" polygraph. I imagine the folks worried about various low level crime or the occasional joint are way more numerous than the guy flying back and forth to Syria on a forged passport.

It's all very simple. You either want the MOS or don't. If you're not willing to gamble, then don't pick up the dice.

The CI poly simply asks you about any foreign associations you have. They ask specific questions. The lifestyle poly is where they can ask you anything and everything ever in your life.

I had to take a CI poly when I went to Cybercom (I'm a 35F) because we were working in the NSA buildings. It wasn't that bad, especially if you have never had any foreign contacts, associates, etc.

I'm not sure if it's required for 35Ts to have a CI poly - but when I was the Corps SSO, I got requests from the 35Ts in G2 that they needed one because the systems they had to maintain at that level. But I'm not sure if all 35Ts require a poly or not. That was the first time I worked with any of them.

I don't think the AIT has a requirement for it but if you do, again it's not hard.
