Read previewThis as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Mary Beth Wilkas Janke, a 59-year-old former Secret Service Agent.
I applied to the DEA and the United States Secret Service (USSS).
The Secret Service offered me a job after many interviews, an exam, a review of my documents, and a polygraph.
I worked for the Secret Service from May 1991 to June 1992.
When I was doing a protection advance in 1992 at a hotel, the general manager said to me, "I didn't know there were women Secret Service Agents!"
