GS15 which is the highest you can get in civil service I think, unless you want to get into political which he does not. It's the equivalent of a military Colonel, before I thought it was General because one of his direct supervisors is a General he has to give a briefing too. In fact I normally wouldn't bring something like this up, but I'm so proud of him because the General wanted him back so bad he tailored this position to not have him require to have a master degree in engineering, which is like unheard of. Plus he had people fighting on his behalf over this. He got this job through hard work/experience, which is like the epitome of the american dream lol
To give you an idea of the prestige of this position, no one can contact you with inquiries if they are below GS 15, and any WRC meeting you attend is specifically dealing with ambassadors, in fact he's meeting the Australian one this summer. I don't know the paid grade but my estimation is it bumps him to the 150-160 range.
