The Secret Service is bracing for the impending appointment of a new director with a senior military rank, the first time an agency chief would come from outside the service in modern history.
Agents and officers are expecting Department of Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly, a retired Marine general and former head of U.S. Central Command, to tap another general to head the Secret Service and help reform the agency and impose more rigorous and even-handed discipline, according to two knowledgeable sources.

Ping...
FRONT AND CENTER! ATENHUT!
It is sad to say but the SS needs to go back to boot camp and maybe even through BUDS to keep their job.
Sounds like General Kelly is going to move things in the right direction.
No idea if this is a good thing.
I thought Maddog Mattis was a good thing..until recently.
These guys should be the best of the best, the ultimate elite protective force: the best shots, the best disciplined, the best behaved.
Anything short of that should result in immediate dismissal.
Special Ops training and discipline is a good start.
That raciss and sexiss. People gonna have a case.
Never thought I’d have to say this, but GOOD!
Something went South with the Secret Service, and they’re not doing their job.
Even one breach is unforgivable.
As many as we have had over the last few years, wow...
Excellent...a very good thing.
Now maybe the agents will be loyal to the Constitution instead of being loyal as a personality cult to a 3rd world tin pot dictator as Obama was.
I think we all know what happened to the SS - BHO.

Same here. Mattis is very disappointing.
Even though General Kelly hasn’t said it, it seem like he has the same serious concerns about PRESIDENT Trump’s personal security the many of us here have. Just remember, President Sadat of Egypt was assassinated by two Muslim Brotherhood members of his own security detail. The horrible deterioration of the SS, probably promoted and encouraged by Obola,, has made it a sitting duck for the same kind of lethal penetration, lethal penetration that could easily cause PRESIDENT Trump to be assassinated.
I’ve deliberately included key words like “assassinated” in this post so any patriotic government agents might pick it up and refer it to PRESIDENT Trump’s personal security detail.

“That raciss and sexiss.”
Probably the biggest single cause of this is that they lowered standards to a level women could meet. Not good enough.
The Secret Service should be the most loyal and compartmentalized organization. No more Ivy league bubblegum kids.
If the deep state goes to far, it ought to be the SS that brings them in.
Hopefully SEAL, Delta, or other Special Forces background.
Yes, I’d have to say that certainly didn’t help. I’m sure he did some things to neuter them too.
There have been slip ups for years though, even in Bush’s day I believe.
Working as a contractor a few years back we had to do an analysis of all the data bases for criminal and terrorist activities used by a consortium of agencies - INS, DEA, FBI, State, etc.
Almost every agency we dealt with was helpful in letting us do our analyses and answering our questions except one:
Yep, the Secret Service.
They were the most arrogant group I ever dealt with. They felt everything they did was perfect; that all those other agencies’ data weren’t good enough for them; that their practices were perfect; and that nobody had any right to question.
This was mostly senior management personnel - the agents were pretty good, but they were under management’s control.
One reason TSA got started off on the wrong foot is that the first head was a former Secret Service guy who thought that all the managers to be hired by the new agency should be former police and government law enforcement types, even though TSA is not a law enforcement agency. It was set up for giving former police chiefs and federal government law enforcement heads a second career (sinecure) after they started collecting their pensions.
The best thing that could happen to the Secret Service to knock them off their pedestal is to put some ass-kicking general in charge.
Most SS types are hired straight out of college with BS degrees in criminal justice. I recall several with Nebraska Omaha degrees.
