Not smart, Unless they paid their dues in the lower ranks they shouldn't be hired at an advanced grade. The only exception would be in the medical field.

This is specifically for bringing in people with technology skills (as has long been done with doctors, dentists, etc). They want to expand that to computer skills, and raise the top rank to O-6 (colonel).

Better would be to just have special high-pay technical specialist ranks.

We seem to do just fine in the medical field by paying for medical school in return for service. I know personally a couple of docs who went this route, one stayed the full 20.
