Currently hold a TS/SCI
But I took the CI poly within the past month and it’s been on my mind. The examiner said I failed a certain section. I told them I answered truthfully and even asked if there was anything I needed to confess, but I didn’t have anything to add. They also mentioned my breathing was off, but I felt like I was breathing normally until they pointed it out. So we had to stop a couple of times and re do it again
At the end, they said I failed — is that even final? I thought it had to go through QC and an adjudicator first? I’ve got a clean background and was honest the whole time. They made me feel kind of dumb a couple times too, not sure if that was just part of their approach.
