Barbazu pretty much nailed it.
As a CTN you will need a poly. But it's nothing to freak out about and people hype this thing up waaaaay more than it needs to be. As someone who's been there and done that, I can honestly say it didn't live up to the hype. As long as you're not planning on being a spy you will cruise through it.
The people that love to hype that sh!t up are almost always people who haven't done one. So if someone is giving you some wild story about it (usually they say "oh my friend did it"), they're almost certainly full of crap. It's really not something you need to lose sleep over, trust me. Just be 100% honest on anything dealing with your clearance and you'll never have anything to sweat over.
