Like the US [[Marines]], the CIA, or more simply 'the Company' have a code to live by. Just as the Marines say, "once a Marine, always a Marine," so to those who have been trained or do operational work for the CIA say, "once a Companyman, always a Companyman." There is no such thing as ex-CIA; as with all intelligence agencies worldwide, the only former intelligence agent is dead or a [[traitor]].

A retired or innactive Companyman can be reactivated at anytime. While not directly on the Company payroll, this is often done through private [[Fifth Column]] [[front organization]]s such as [[Blackwater]], CrowdStrike, etc.

Below is a list available in non-classified open source of media personalities who are also Companymen. Note, there are 16 US intelligence agencies that constitute the US intelligence community, and often a member associated with one agency is mistakenly identified with another. In this sense, the terms CIA agent, asset, analyst, activity, operation etc., can be used as an umbrella catch-all phrase that can mask a person's true association.
