Definitely not the greatest morale in the Service,something to do with upper management types,and did a psychic save the old fart Bush from a bullet???

.... TO SIGN UP to take a bullet for the president requires extraordinary commitment. Besides the glamour and the travel, "I see being in the Secret Service as a calling for me to serve my country and do good at a higher level," one agent says.

"Agents do not protect any individual but rather the integrity of the office, so the bullet we may take is for the office-not the person," another agent says.

The job requires not only protecting the president but safeguarding the lives of other agents.

"When I walked into an event with the president as part of the protective detail, I knew and trusted that everybody would do their job," former agent Norm Jarvis says. "The formation has shift agents, and each has responsibilities unique to each position. So if everybody takes care of their position, then you don't have to worry about your back, or who's looking out over your shoulder. Somebody is. You just have to focus on what your job is at the time. Agents build up an awful lot of trust and appreciation for each other."

The reverse is true as well.

"If you detect that somebody's lazy or not thorough or not doing the job, it means more than just 'Hey, this guy's a bum and I've got to spend my time with him,'" Jarvis says. "You feel like your life could possibly be in danger. Certainly the president's life would be in danger. So there's a lot of us within the detail policing ourselves and using positive and negative sanctions to get people to do the right thing all the time."

Agents recognize that the job entails long hours and extensive travel. In describing job opportunities, the Secret Service's website makes a point of that.

"Agents have a certain drive," a Secret Service agent says. "They're all kind of wired the same; they all want to see the job get done, and they want to get it done the right way."

But many say that the agency's management needlessly makes the job tougher. In particular, the Secret Service's senseless transfer policies drive agents to quit before retirement, adding to the government's costs. This comes at a time when, because of threats from terrorists, the need for the Secret Service has never been greater.
