[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I never date anyone from the Agency but have known a number of people who work there or in similar places. Honestly, the vast majority of them are doing office work, many don't even use a cover. I'm sure there are people who fit the stereotype you're thinking of, but I haven't met any of them. [b]The guys I knew were very bookish[/b] and reserved. Even people doing boring office work probably won't talk much about their job, though, so if that bothers you, you should think twice about dating him. [/quote]

Former DI here - that's us. We aren't door kickers. [/quote]

Are DIs required to remain under cover?

I may have dated someone in NCS because none of them could break cover.[/quote]

We are told to use our judgement, which means not blabbing about it at a dinner party or out on a date or really to your friends all that much.

things are different in NCS, but most NCS employees as a I said are under 'official cover' so in this town the 'state department' thing wears thin.

It was just easier for me to file a dummy llc for a consulting company and use that for social situations with non-agency personnel when anyone asked where I worked or what I do- this is a small town so when you do run into someone who actually works at state or treasury or someone who is nosy, my method works.

This was also in my twenties - i'm sure if i was in my thirties and I was meeting women for ultra serious relationships or if I did extended tours abroad, it would not be as effective. In my situation I just felt more natural and comfortable to do my method than to say 'oh i work in gov or state or treas or whatever'. [/quote]

I dated this person for several months and never officially knew he worked at the agency, but I figured it out quickly. They did 2-3 year assignments abroad every 5 years with shorter (one week to 8 week) assignments abroad in between.[/quote]
