So, this may come as a shock but I have been following this forum, page for page, since October but never posted or joined up. I have since joined and have a bunch to say.
I am 16-1 for Miami, had my e-qip sent back 3 times at least, have had 3 months of medical holds (satisfied month by month, unique issue by unique issue) and now I have my Poly in Dania Beach on Wednesday. I am psycho nervous just because of the gravity of the exam. I will be the first to publicly admit I stole a petty amount (less than 100) from my hotel clerk bank tin at my job ten years ago and will confess to as much at the start of the pre-exam.

Other than that I haven't done drugs, no murders, and no divulging secrets. I will be so honest with this examiner I hope to scare her. So, any advice?

P.S. The security specialist that sent me my notice to reject me based on credit issues was very nice. She emailed me (this is the In security office stage) and allowed me to describe what happened and that I would make 1st month's payments and show proof. I always thought they rejected you outright with no chance to remedy things based off people's experiences here.

P.S.S. I am prior Navy, Submarine E-4 Machinist's Mate, with secret clearance. Clear driving record, all up to par on credit payments, every family member is legal. So....let's see.

Only advice to you is to answer the questions clearly with a Yes or No answer. Nothing to be nervous about if you are telling the truth.

Thank you. Same thing I have concluded. Also, timing is a factor I realize. Aside I have read both positive and negative things about the job. However, I want it and I feel we all do. Stamp-monkey or no stamp monkey this is an honorable profession. It took me years after the Navy to realize I missed it and what it inspired.

Good luck with the poly it is very hit or miss. Just a heads up, I know a lot of current Cbpo's that re-applied to Miami , so for a new hire it could be a long wait if you make it through. Some of my colleagues have been in the scheduling unit for 3-4 months awaiting the call and that's with everything just transferring over.

Thanks for the heads up. I also applied to Capitol Police so I shall see how that goes along. Either way I am a hospitality major in my Senior year and have applied to a 10 week summer internship which is a degree requirement. For me, the longer the better as long as I succeed. A blessing and a curse I suppose.

I can definitely empathize with you. I truly wish you the best. I think that your military service will definitely make up for your offense. Just have faith and of course Thank you for your service brother!

Lol I'm 16-1 for Miami. I had my e-qip also sent back twice to fix two things. Also waiting on poly to be scheduled. We are at the exact same place in our process. Where are you located ?

I am up in Boca Raton, Florida! What about yourself? Looks like we are going exactly in the same pace lol.

I'm a 15-4 applicant. And I'm in the same position as you are. I have had my eqip rejection three times for mislabeled information. So, I'm waiting for it to me approved. Hopefully soon.

I hate how the head of the email says "Background rejected" It always gets to me. First time I almost cried before opening the email thinking I got disqualified hahahahahahah. What is your port by the way? Hopefully we will get clear soon...

West Texas/Southwest New Mexico locations. Yeah, I understand what you mean. But luckily for us it was misinformation. The waiting game is killing me.
