Secret Service agents were told to use a military helicopter to take Vance's son to his golf practice.

MS NOW reports that last week, agents complained about a request to fly Vance's son to a golf lesson across town on a helicopter.

The trip to Joint Base Andrews, which has a secure, world-class golf center, would have involved a military helicopter crew on Marine Two, the helicopter that carries the vice president, but was canceled at the last minute due to severe thunderstorms and high winds in and around Washington, D.C.

Previous vice presidents and senior administration officials traditionally told the Secret Service of travel plans days in advance, especially regarding their families. But one unnamed agent told MS NOW that the Vances "change everything."

"They don't stick to their schedules, and that costs ---- tons of taxpayer money," the agent said.

"The detail is tired of them not giving notice on things and making everything an OTR," an unnamed source told MS NOW. "He [Vance] thinks he can still move around like a U.S. senator."

Agents have made coins and badges mocking Vance's last-minute travel demands, incorporating the vice president's secret service name, Bobcat.

The coins and stickers have a picture of a Bobcat's head with the words "Bobcat OTR Survivors Club." The logo includes the motto, "Advance. OTR. Repeat."
