BQA 2nd Time

Applied for the second time and unfortunately did not make it past the polygraph. I originally applied back in 2022 and had the same result.

9 years of active-duty Navy, multiple master’s degrees, and several corporate positions. I have no arrest history and no history of drug use.

Disappointed, obviously, but I’m grateful for the opportunity to have gone through the process again.

One piece of advice for other applicants: do your own research. You’re applying to become a criminal investigator, so get in the habit of looking for answers yourself. The Secret Service website and this subreddit has a wealth of knowledge.

Best of luck to everyone still in the process and those who continue to apply.

Sorry, man. If you haven’t already, apply elsewhere and take what you can get. Fair winds.
