Final BGO interview advice

[Old Navy BGO]

However, I am pretty sure that a government ethics attorney would find fault in any BGO receiving any type of good in kind from a candidate.

Ethics rules apply to government contractors and government employees. BGOs are neither. I fully agree that the BGO should/will pick up the check, but it’s an issue of decency and common courtesy, not a legal issue.

Concur with USNA1985 that BGO's don't fall within the parameters of the government ethics rules, but USNA does brief and caution BGO's on the issue, and uses the Ethics rules for guidance. Accepting coffee would fall within the de minimis exception, but I agree that there is no way I would let a candidate pay.
