New Secret Service rules on alcohol, unsavory bars

WASHINGTON (AP) — Seeking to shake the disgrace of a prostitution scandal, the Secret Service late Friday tightened conduct rules for its agents to prohibit them from drinking excessively, visiting disreputable establishments while traveling or bringing foreigners to their hotel rooms.
The new behavior policies apply to Secret Service agents even when they are off duty while traveling, barring them from drinking alcohol within 10 hours of working, according to a memorandum describing the changes obtained by The Associated Press. In some cases under the new rules, chaperones will accompany agents on trips. The embattled Secret Service director, Mark Sullivan, urged agents and other employees to "consider your conduct through the lens of the past several weeks."
The Secret Service said it would conduct a training session on ethics next week.
Sullivan said the rules "cannot address every situation that our employees will face as we execute our dual-missions throughout the world." He added: "The absence of a specific, published standard of conduct covering an act or behavior does not mean that the act is condoned, is permissible, or will not call for — and result in — corrective or disciplinary action."

That’s how it always works: one sucker spoils it for the rest of them. All for $47 dollars.
I have countless stories from the corporate jungle about such incidents. You gotta protect what you can get away with.

Yup, very rosy, thanks. So sorry I wasn't in country getting my limbs blown off or got deaded.
If you look around this site and especially under VetsCoR, you'll see that I've tried to make up the difference. I'm also a current financial supporter of the Wounded Warriors project and ride with the Patriot Guard Riders to honor our home-coming military dead and Veterans who pass on.
However, with all my limbs and sanity in tact, I guess my 11 years Aviation Navy doesn't count nor does my last decade of supporting military/vet causes. Get bullets whizzing by or blown up from an IED - good. Don't get sunk on a ship - bad.

That's the job to have. Ho rules on them.
