My late BIL was a Secret Service agent after a long history in the military. He was a supervisor in a past president’s permanent protective detail. He was often seconded to the UN events like are happening in New York this week and had some harsh things to say about some of his fellow agents.
He was always discreet when flying (carried his weapon on board and had to be escorted to his seat in advance) but some other agents would loudly announce themselves as Secret Service not-so-secretly to the gate staff, much to his disgust. He worked his ass off on those assignments and didn’t spend much time with the other agents socially.
