Seems as if there is a memo going around seeking comments about changing the minimum requirements to be an ASAC. Thank god HQ finally realized we need to have management with real operational experience. Sum and substance of the memo lends itself to the premise that unless you have had actual CE group supervisor time you can't be an ASAC. This means that if you came to ATF from another agency, never worked an original ATF case in your life, hid out at HQ for a few years, got your 14 and went out as a DOO to supervise admin staff you do not have what it takes to be an ASAC. At least they see part of the problem if it is true!!!
