    What I DON'T Get is E9: GS7. E9s (senior NCOs) run things.
    “… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.

    Senior NCOs are hard to figure out equivalencies with. The Sergeant Major of the Army walked in to a brigade training meeting I was in, chaired by a major. He, and everyone else in that room, was at attention while the SMA was walking around shaking hands.

    I agree.... senior E9's are a special breed of cat.... I had a similar experience with the MCPO of the Atlantic Fleet once... I think I was a Lieutenant at the time...I may have technically "outranked" him, but I didn't really.

    Civil Service grades are really wierd. I had an EPA guy in the Motor Pool wearing out my hazmat NCO. I told him to shove off or be escorted out. I got a call to go see the Bn Co. Seems this lil pouge outranked the Colonel. CO "counseled" me about threatening pouges with double digit GS ratings.

    All in all it was sooo much fun to watch him stalk out of the motor pool with that pissed off kid look.

    Depends on context, I suppose. At the pentagon, GS14s and 15s are action officers - around here, they are GS11s and 12s.

    Any GS (or other civil service folk) employee worth their salary remembers we're here to make the lives of soldiers - their jobs - easier, better. We work because of the soldiers we support. Attached is the chart for those who can't view the link. I goofed splicing it together - as you'll see at the bottom, when the text starts.
