[Tim McMillan] Что-то интересное, что я недавно узнал, заключалось в том, что в дополнение к тому, что AARO не имеет полномочий Раздела 50, назначающие полномочия доктора Шона Киркпатрика оцениваются как «Высококвалифицированный эксперт» (HQE), а не по Генеральному расписанию (GS) или Высшее руководство (SES).
Something interesting I recently found out was that in addition to AARO not having Title 50 authority, Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick’s appointing authority is rated as “Highly Qualified Expert” (HQE) and not General Schedule (GS) or Senior Executive Service (SES). pic.twitter.com/oNxqmtYlhW

Essentially, HQE’s are a job classification used for subject matter experts, consultants, etc., entirely unique to the DoD.
While HQE’s can technically oversee or manage DoD programs, in my experience, it’s pretty rare to see one lead a program office.

Particularly because an HQE lacks the bureaucratic muscle to really make anyone snap to attention.
Conversely, the UAPTF under [Jay Stratton](https://www.secnav.navy.mil/donhr/About/Senior-Executives/Biographies/Stratton,%20J.pdf) had both Title 50 and Title 10 authority and was led by an SES2.

Now, I want to stress, none of this speaks to Dr. Kirkpatrick’s competency or ability to perform the job.
Rather, it’s notable that AARO was stood up with considerably less administrative power than the UAPTF.
Kirkpatrick Isa puppet with a fist sooo fuxking far up his ass he can’t even take a drink. Let alone answer a question without think about how fucked he really is.![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|poop) take that to the fucki g bank.
