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.

I don't know about the situation that you're talking about, but I did have to take one for my law enforcement job. The tester went over all of the questions a couple of times and, if I remember right, gave you a chance to explain a question that you might not be comfortable answering. The thing that I was surprised about the whole thing is that when I was hooked up and he asked the questions I still felt a slight jolt of adrenaline even for something as simple as my name.

Same here. I was terrified during my poly for law enforcement. I was afraid the test would show deception when I stated my own name. lol
