The Party's Over?

Harlow's Notes: Ah come on! Boys will be boys.





Looks like the party's over.

The Secret Service, after running into trouble for agents' bawdy
behavior, is going on booze control -- putting out guidance telling
agents that drinking on assignment is prohibited within 10 hours of
reporting for duty and is effectively outlawed on-site once an official
visit begins.

The new directive comes in the wake of the Colombia prostitution scandal
that rocked the Secret Service earlier this year. Those rules have now
been officially added to the agency's Human Resources and Training
Manual, after the following email --

"Alcohol may only be consumed in moderate amounts while off-duty on a
TDY assignment and alcohol use is prohibited within 10 hours of
reporting for duty. Alcohol may not be consumed at the protectee hotel
once the protective visit has begun. See Human Resources and Training
Manual, section PER-05(05), Miscellaneous Standards."

The email directive came from the Deputy Assistant Director of Human
Resources and Training. It reflects new policy implemented after the
Colombia scandal.

What does "moderate amounts" of alcohol mean exactly? Nobody seems to know.

Ed Donovan, Secret Service spokesman, dodged the question regarding the
email, he said only:

"This is not 'new.' It's just the administrative implementation of the
policy change from several months ago. That policy change was reported
on extensively at the time."

He did not reply to a follow-up email asking again for clarity about the
definition of "moderate."

Thirteen agents were sent home during the April international imbroglio
that has tarnished the agency's reputation. An inspector general's
investigation found six of the agents had brought prostitutes back to
their Cartagena hotel room. Two other DHS OIG reports are nearing
completion.

The new rules were described by one high-ranking agency official as
"silly, hysterical and entirely unenforceable."

"As I said, there's B.C. and A.C.," another agent said, with a sigh.
"Before Colombia and After Colombia."

Well, it's obvious if you can see the big picture.

What "big picture" would that be?

The «big picture» is that HVAC doesn't care one bit.

Can the agents still charge hookers as "rom service" or do they
have to pay for them out of pocket ?

Also, since Sandra Fluke insists that the Feds pay for her birth control and
abortions, do the agents have to buy their own Viagara and Trojans or are
those covered under Obamacare ??

Inquiring minds want to know ...

I would say they could include in in their meal tab as "dessert".
