Well I don't smokde anymore. If they ask If I have in thhe past I will say sure. But I have never heard of a polygraph test for a firefighter. Maybe for fbi/cia.

I haven't heard of polygraphing FFs either, but it's not just FBI/CIA. I had to take one.


Oh, and the CIA will do several polys, which are seriously intense.

Well, firefighters for my county have to take a polygraph. Here's a quote:

All applicants must successfully complete a written entrance exam, prescreening evaluation, Physical Ability Test (orientation), Physical Ability Test (exam), personal interview, psychological profile, polygraph and criminal background investigation. Prior to starting work, the selected applicant must successfully complete a comprehensive medical examination and cardiovascular evaluation.

I personally know 2 people who travel throughout North America training endusers on SAP software. They both make extremely good money, and only work 3-4 days a week.

I was just trying to give an example. All those cia spooky guys must be researched for a good year before they are allowed to do sh!t or get access to anything.

The kind of sh!t they ask you during the poly & interviews can be REALLY personal too.
