Reply #27: Not only that, but sometimes the escorts are Active Duty

military females (and males). They are asked to volunteer to attend these diplomatic functions, (sometimes a limo is sent to pick them up) to fill out the crowd and give the diplomats a large variety of people to mingle and flirt with.

Also, the escorts are told to keep their ears open for interesting gossip and conversation that the diplomats exchange among themselves. How do I know this? I was stationed in Germany in the late 80s with a sergeant who had recently pcs'd from Ft. Belvoir, VA and she related this info to me.
