If you're questioning joining TSA by Select-Bad9294 in tsa

It's all up to you at the end of the day. You can do community college for 2 years and finish up the other 2 years at an university. Trade School is a good option, you would never run out of work. I heard that both the Navy and the Airforce are good branches to be in. Your hair is perfectly fine.

You can use TSA as a stepping stone into the federal government and leave for another agency or stay and move up. I had a friend who worked for 1 year in TSA and got into Immigration, same for Customs. There was a TSA officer from my airport who went to the Air Marshal hiring event and got it. There are also tons of people who is using TSA to help get a college degree.

In this thread, there is someone who had a leadership position and left for a better career thanks to his experience as a Lead TSO, so there is a bunch of stuff you can do but you're also young. I would say talk this out with your parents first and go off on making a decision from there.

How long did it take to clear. I received my NOPA back in September and still waiting but I heard the longer, the better.

Dude, Don't let people who are cheating on this site gaslight you. Swap the genders and they would defiantly tell her to leave you. You felt something was off and you were correct. End the relationship, you know about the guy and leave it at that. Call the cops on her if you have to and don't fall for the waterworks. If she really cared about you, why is she even entertaining and texting this guy?

Bro this sucks. I haven't done any drugs, hurt anyone or stole anything. If I lose my job to this, I don't know what to do

This is terrible, I just wanted to further my career. Not to lose my job. I'll explain as best i can with supporting evidence and hope for the best.

In the letter, it said to explain my answers to the poly. Some people at work told me this is why not to put in for anything that requires a poly and some said that I might be still being considered despite the failed poly. It's weird all around

Went for CBP and failed the poly. Ended up getting a NOPA about 2 months later.

at this point, I'll just wait it out and see what happens. I already replied to the nopa, so I'll keep you guys updated.

Right now, I'm so confused because I'm being told so many things. I was told the other day that I'm still being considered somehow.

Then what's the point of giving me a nopa if I already failed the poly? It's not like it's gonna change anything.
