Does a CIA officer train a CIA agent?
An officer sometimes does train an agent. For example, I had a situation where a foreign agent that i recruited wasn’t really very good at detecting surveillance for himself. So, I would provide him some rudimentary training about how to tell if someone is following him. Also I provided him some training about how to manage their money, and if they suddenly received some money in exchange for giving secrets not to go out and but a fur coat or a new car or anything else that is going to draw attention to themselves. It is basic training into how to conduct their life so that they are not going to appear on the radar screen so their neighbors are certainly say that he is suddenly spending lot of money and yet he is lonely government employee. they could become suspicious about where he is getting this money from. This is an example of the kind of thing that as a CIA officer, I might train my agent to do.
