This member is seen at recovery meetings, as well as all other business meetings.
Which actually isn't a bad thing because most of the other guardians * officers are now counting business meetings as (recovery) meetings.
A patrol officer will travel from group to group and expound about inane issues that don't really matter.
While attending any, ASC, RSC, WSC, they will be stuck on the Motion " I motion to refer this to the groups."
If this doesnt pass they will always abstain from a vote.
They tend to flock together with other patrol officers.
And are truly prone to lobbying or discussing Issues "outside the meeting" prior to placing any motion into action!

These members are well disguised, they often lurk in open recovery Meetings, They have approximately 2-5+ years clean (most of the time).
The common give-away is the deep inhale heard right after someone say's they have been "sober" !!
Then a light red color comes over their face, and their ears get hot!!!
In extreme cases they can be actually heard saying "we don't use that here".
They have a propensity for speaking in circles, usually using words which they have just learned from the dictionary, and then they quote right out of the book!
If these members are observed closely enough even they slip up so don't forget to go "ummm" when they do!
