How closely related is senior foreign service to the SES Senior executive Service.

They are the same in terms of pay and benefits. The main difference is that the FS has rank in person while the CS has rank in job. As is the case with military officers, foreign service officers have an up or out system. You can only serve so many years at one grade, i.e., time in class. In Civil Service, you can serve in a job without any age or time limit. Fauci has served in the same job since 1984. He has 52 years of service and counting. He is 79 and will turn 80 in December.

Would you have mingled and got to know lots of SES people or only SFS members how does it work.

I directed an inter-agency project among the 17 foreign affairs agencies. I dealt frequently with my SES counterparts in other agencies.

SES is just a repackaging of the old civil service super-grades. At one time, there were three GS "supergrades" (GS-16, GS-17 and GS-18); these were eliminated under the ‎Senior Executive Service. Other changes were made including performance pay.

Here is a rundown in detail about how the SES functions. There is really nothing sinister or nefarious about the SES. One issue to be concerned about is having political appointee jobs converted to SES positions and then having the political appointees remaining in the position when the former President leaves. The IGs of the various agencies monitor it fairly closely. The career bureaucrats do not want political appointees taking SES positions.

I left before Hillary came in. Obama and her politicized State. I wish someone had the balls to tell her she couldn’t use a private server to conduct official business. I fault the career officers as much, if not more, than Hillary. Where was the Resistance then? Where were the leaks? I worked directly for Pat Kennedy. Very disappointed that he allowed Hillary to run roughshod over the regulations and to compromise our national security. Someone needs to be held accountable. Kerry was no better.

I’m with you and pray someday that Hong Kong will explode and take out the CCP like ants on a dead cockroach. What a world it would be with a democratic economic powerhouse NEW China. Just think Taiwan times a billion.

Perfect — I see dogs being practically dragged down the street here in So Cal — they are exhausted from all the increased walking!

As I was told SES was originally designed as a huge benefit to many depts. of govt. Initially, it was thought to have been a really good dept.with top people from each dept. in charge.
Only after Hillary came did it go down hill.My guess is that while you were there it could have been a stellar dept. and after you left the wrong people got involved. I guess that's possible.
Wish I knew a half dozen members of SES who were there recently.Would make for a great interview.
Sounds like to me it was straight as an arrow during your time and if it went downhill could have happened after you left.

From the link;
..............
The Senior Executive Service (SES) lead America’s workforce. As the keystone of the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978, the SES was established to “...ensure that the executive management of the Government of the United States is responsive to the needs, policies, and goals of the Nation and otherwise is of the highest quality.” These leaders possess well-honed executive skills and share a broad perspective on government and a public service commitment that is grounded in the Constitution.

Members of the SES serve in the key positions just below the top Presidential appointees. SES members are the major link between these appointees and the rest of the Federal workforce. They operate and oversee nearly every government activity in approximately 75 Federal agencies.

The U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) manages the overall Federal executive personnel program, providing the day-to-day oversight and assistance to agencies as they develop, select, and manage their Federal executives.
.............

You are one brilliant guy to have been a part of that group!!

FR has become our very own twitter,facebook and youtube since you can trust any of them.
George Webb had some phenomenal info last week and the week before on youtube that was also taken down since it revealed too much about the deep staters.

Sheeple will follow

Sheeple might do that.

Don't know about the Sheep dogs, though.

Too much aggravation like that and somebody could get bit.

...just sayin'....
