Army background check?

Question

What kind of background check will I be subjected to in becoming a helicopter pilot in the Army? Obviously a criminal records check. But how about credit checks & taking a polygraph?

Answer 1

Credit checks are becoming more and more popular as a background check.
If you can't manage your finances, what else can't you manage??

Answer 2

1. Criminal background check!
2. Credit check!
3. Family background check!
4. Education Check!
5. Foreign travel within the last 5 years!
6. Any Work ethics!
7. Medical History Check! (Mental & Physical)
There are probably more, but I can't remember them all!!

Answer 3

I think they go deep deep down with the background check i think they check into your family and also your credit rating as far as a polygraph i am not sure but i know they want to know every little detail about you. Good luck in becoming a bird pilot...

Answer 4

I just enlisted, also wanting to fly. They do ask about your credit when you sign up, and I think they may even run a check. Criminal record checks for the military include any juvinile record, even though the policetell you they disappear. The biggest reason for the checks is not flying, it's the security clearance that you have to have as a pilot. Good luck!

Answer 5

I'm sure it will be both criminal and credit checks. Both pertain to your character as a person. Also shows how responsible you are...being that you will be flying an aircraft worth over a million dollars. You will also need a Top Secret clearance. Good Luck!

Answer 6

Yep, criminal background check.
A credit check as well.
You probably won't ever see the polygraph machine, unless you get in trouble.

Answer 7

they'll locate out once you fill out your SF-86 and really answer that you've tried marijuana. you do not pass over any appropriate thoughts from a nationwide safe practices study. Ever.
