Show Notes
The Secret Service prides itself on having a robust cadre of military veterans as Special Agents, Uniformed Division Officers, Technical Law Enforcement officers and as Administrative/Technical Professionals.
In fact, our CIO Kevin Nally is a retired United States Marine Corps Brigadier General who served in the military for 34 years, including tours in the Operation Desert Storm and Operation Iraqi/Enduring Freedom. He sits down with Standing Post host and US Army veteran Abel Trevino to discuss his career, resources for transitioning out of the military and the benefits of bringing veterans into Federal agencies.
A big thanks to all the veterans in the Secret Service, and the men and women who continue to serve our Nation in Active Duty, National Guard and Reserve capacities. If you are a veteran interested in continuing to serve our country when you separate from the Service, we have roles for all Military Occupational Specialties.

In this episode of Standing Post, we have the unique opportunity to speak to Deputy Assistant Director Darryl Volpicelli, the former Special Agent in Charge of the Presidential Protective Detail. While he is currently an executive in our agency, as the SAIC of PPD, DAD Volpicelli was responsible for every element of security for the President, whether that was in the White House or traveling throughout the US and abroad. We have a frank discussion with him about the stresses of such a high-stakes job, the inner workings of what it takes to protect the President - including the secret trip into the Ukraine by train - and why it’s such a rewarding position that every agent in the Secret Service works towards.
