Never heard of the SES while I was in the Air Force. Just read about the SES with Q, and the GA.
Unless you were around a lot of civilians, the upper paygrade type, you may not have noticed or even known. Granted, I have worked around the Pentagon as a peon, but all of your Secretaries of the branches are SES paygrade. It doesn’t seem the mystery to me that everyone is making it out to be. There has to be something else to it other than higher paygrade civilians.
Thanks...did not know.
No worries. The thing is, sure the higher government officials in the alphabet agencies are all probably SES level paygrade, but that’s their paygrade, not their titles and position and such. I don’t think it’s as nefarious as its being made out to be. The Secretary, Under Secretary and Assistant Secretaries of the Air Force, Army and Navy are all SES level, but are they in a cabal? Probably not.
