The Support Directorate comprises eight Career. Services--one for
geasral Support ilea sonnel including those in the Ozfice o.: the DD/S, end
a separate Service or each of the seven Offices In the Directorate. Hach
Career Service has its own allocation o=' supergracle positions.

selection of individuals recommended for promotion to GS-lb; and, for n S
careerists, proposes candidates on the basis o _ competitive r ankin.

Services 'ollow a competitive ranking proccedure, using their Career Service

subject to :review and approval by the DD/S who includes in his review an
assent of the career potential of each employee, and -particularly his

Career Service Recommendations
The Support Career Service Boas:d, which is chaired by the DD/S ixecu-
tive Officer and includes the Director or Deputy Director of each Support
Offica, recommends the promotion of, `S' careerists to GS-;lei, based on the
conpetitive ranking of GS-15's In that Service.
Recommendations from the other seven Services follow somewhat less
Y:ormai procedures because the composition of their Boards and the nature of
the problem make it impractical to have the Boards initiate such actions.
Instead, in the smaller' Services (Medice.i, Personnel, Finance, and Training),
the Director and Deputy Director usually handle such recommendations thercm-
selves on an individual case basis; in Security and Logistics othe ? too official

evaluate GS-15's competitively and recommend those to be promoted to GS-16.

Directorate at grades CAS-17 and CS-IS and the nature of the position each in
volves, recommendations at these levels are Initiated by the DD or by the
responsible OfIce Director in close coordination with the ODS. .l such
recommendations are reviewed by the DD/S Executive Officer, AIM, and
the S before being presented to the DDCI.
