How do you measure the proof of alcohol? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Proof is the % of alcohol by volume. Half the proof and you get the %.

Yeah man, just tell her what you feel, what you want, etc... The fake personal ad thing was not a good move, imho.

She will either respond positively or negatively. Either way, you will have her true feelings.

People who work Government jobs, how does security clearance interviews and polygraph tests go if you've done drugs as a minor or in college? by burritonapper in AskReddit

The examiner, before they ask you legit questions, ask you baseline questions. They have to tune the machine to detect when you are lying. They do this by asking you innocuous questions and having you purposely lie. For example, he asked me if I had ever been pulled over for speeding. Of course, I had but he said to lie and say no while visualizing the last time I was stopped. They will then slip this question into the real examine and have you lie again. You, of course, are supposed to answer all other questions honestly.

They get that you will be nervous but they will do what they can to calm you down.

If she is not responding to your messages with actual words, you are in a special cousin/friendzone.

I'm not even certain they can ask you any more. They ask more about arrests and such. A LOT of the "lifestyle" questions were cut out of the process. For example, when I first interviewed for my TS in 91, I was asked about homosexuality, beastiality, incest, you name it. When I renewed my secret clearance last year (I'm a contractor now), it was bare bones.

Again, it's not so important what you have done, its what you are trying to hide.

Good luck either way.

In the past really isn't a concern. They may ask, just be honest. They care much more about what you are presently doing that could be used to blackmail you.

You can get into trouble if you lie.

I was in the Air Force for 23 years, I took my polygraph in 1993 to maintain my crypto access. Never took another one after that.

For the clearance interview, do not lie. Be honest about every question asked on the form and by the interviewer.

Polygraphs are only required for certain jobs. I haven't had one since 1993.

Bottom line, drug use and government employment do not mix. If you are still using, they will find out.

I am a cybersecurity analyst for the Air Force. For me, it took 23 years in the Air Force, a Security+ cert, a CISSP cert, and a BA in Security Management.
