[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why can't he disclose what agency? Is it the DEA and you guys both smoke pot together to relax....????[/quote]

There are certain agencies where people are not supposed to say who they work for.  These include CIA, DIA, NSA, NRO, NGA...the issue is CounterIntel...they do not want the employees to be targeted - and yes, it happens.

However, we are instructed to say who we work for:  often the parent agency.  For example, DIA are told to say DoD...[/quote]

I agree with this.  I worked for a "three letter agency", and now work for a government contractor that counts the intelligence community among its customers.  The culture of secrecy is such that we don't even mention the name of the agency in conversations where everyone knows who the customer is.  It's probably not hard to find out, and as the relationship progresses I'm sure he'd tell you however until there is a level of trust established, the less information the better, if only because it will bring up questions that he can't answer.  Are you really attractive?  We used to have a counterintelligence guy come brief us, and one of the things he used to say was if the guy or girl who approaches you is way too good looking for you then be weary. As for dating someone who can't talk about their work for a lot of people this would be a plus.  If you really knew how boring most of this stuff was I assure you that you wouldn't want to hear about it anyway. [/quote]
