Jimmy returned to his office and placed the Medal of Distinguished Service on the table, this time by accident, he had not prepared a display frame, the point was that he had never seen this medal before, and he did not know what kind of frame to choose.

Now Jimmy's desk has a row of medals and medals, which are all proof of his hard work in the past few years, and they are not easy to come by.

Mark and Julia are not in the office, probably out to investigate the case, because of Jimmy's previous training and this super long vacation, the two are also used to the feeling of working alone, which is not bad, at least Jimmy can relax.

Putting the certificates and medals back in the drawer, Jimmy left the office again, the administrative vacation time given by Ruiz was not yet up, and there was no need to rush back to work.

In fact, during Jimmy's vacation, Washington, D.C., was very lively, but this excitement was mainly concentrated in the upper echelons, and did not radiate everywhere, and not many people could understand it.

DHS is now very passive, Agent Raymond reported everything about this operation to the above after returning to DC, and everyone was caught off guard by the situation of many agent casualties, and the FBI headquarters also learned of the consequences of this support for DHS resulting in one death and two injuries of the SRT team, and after contacting Ruiz and them to confirm, they got accurate information, and DHS was a big shame this time.

For the top management of the FBI, it is naturally not what they are happy to see if the brother department is too strong, because the DHS formed by the 911 incident is this strong department, because it has merged and reorganized from various agencies, and focused on domestic counter-terrorism, in fact, it has bitten a considerable piece from the FBI's terms of reference, and anyone will be unhappy if they are replaced, if there are several leadership changes, maybe there will not be so much controversy between them, but it has only been a few years now.

This time, there was something that could be openly taken out to find trouble, so naturally something had to be done, so as with the previous government department adjustments, the FBI and some people from their higher Department of Justice began to move to add some shackles to DHS.

However, DHS is not a dry meal, this time they did not mobilize the National Guard, nor did they arrange DHS's special squad support for the first time, it is their dereliction of duty to cause such a loss, there is no way to deny this, so we have to find a way to make up for it first and strive for some emotional points.

After returning to Washington, DC, Agent Raymond rushed to the SRT training base in Buffalo with his superiors to offer condolences and gifts to the two injured SRT team members, and then went to the home of the deceased team member accompanied by Captain SRT Roy to offer condolences to his family, and DHS provided a special allowance, in addition to the FBI pension, and Agent Raymond attended his funeral as a representative of DHS, everything was done in a very timely manner, Solved the problem on the SRT side before anyone else could react.

For the wounded and dead agents of DHS, they still compensate them with the highest standard that their previous rank could achieve, to ensure that these people and their families do not make too much trouble because of this incident, and also to show their sincerity, in the eyes of some people, to appease the various departments that have been integrated, and to ensure that there is no internal chaos first.

As for the matter of being forced by some people in the FBI headquarters in conjunction with the Department of Justice and other departments, these are not simple things that can be done in a day or two, they can be done slowly, major departmental decisions are never decided by one person, and DHS is not without its own political allies, and they have experienced a lot of things over the years, so they will not completely overturn on this matter.

While dealing with these things, they didn't forget to stumble on the FBI, and trying to transfer Jimmy to DHS was a bad move for them.

Jimmy's information is not a secret, DHS also has someone who has worked with Jimmy before, and it is easy to find out his information, but now they can't find the CIA's information, so all the information found is public FBI information and his previous police information.

Jimmy's information is very eye-catching, not to mention the 8,9 percent crime solving rate, just those who died in his hands, looking at those kill records can make people who read the data tremble, their department has never had this kind of killing god, the key is that Jimmy's killing is justified, the investigation of Jimmy by the OPR department within the FBI is not once or twice, and none of them can make solid evidence to suppress him.

They really hope to get Jimmy over now, but everyone is a federal agent, but they belong to different departments, and they can't force Jimmy to be recruited, so naturally they can only communicate first, which is why Ruiz reminds Jimmy to stay at home.

The people at the FBI headquarters naturally know Jimmy, not to mention that after 911, he solved the hijacking case alone, and became a designated study case in the textbook of the Kuanti Academy of Sciences, which is enough to crush a group of senior agents, not to mention that there are many terrorist attacks that have been solved by Jimmy, and his name is also very well-known in the headquarters, but because of ethnic issues and departmental interests, no one in those management will take the initiative to transfer him to the headquarters or give him a high-level position.

Again, the FBI is a very conservative institution, and they can take the initiative to increase the number of minorities for the sake of face, but the top has always maintained white dominance.

Now DHS wants to come to the FBI to get an important person to go, some people naturally disagree, and because of the attraction of the competition itself, they also consider getting Jimmy to stare at it, so they have to designate Dr. Jensen to give Jimmy a psychological evaluation.

It's not complicated, but this time there are more people involved, and Dave and they have done a lot of things to ensure that Jimmy stays in Manhattan.

The former FBI Secret Service Association is not a pheasant association, and it is a big deal for the association that they award medals to active agents, and Jimmy also holds a high-level medal, the kind of face-showing news that can send news to expand its influence, even if it is for special reasons, it is impossible to be so shabby with only two spectators.

This is the result of Dave and Hughes's discussion, and even within the association, the matter of awarding Jimmy a medal needs to be postponed before anyone else is notified, and it cannot be done with great fanfare.

Jimmy didn't know anything about it, but his vacation turned out to be long, lasting nearly two weeks before he received a call from Ruiz to go back to work.

Jimmy's long vacation had left him with a moldy finish at home, and he understood what Ruiz was arranging for, so he stayed at home very honestly during this time. Reading books, watching TV, buying groceries and cooking, because he was so bored, he even bought a lunch box for Nia, made a bento box for her to take to the police station, and didn't have to eat takeout at noon.

Of course, he must have made dinner, and the highlight is a change of menu, which has made his cooking skills a little better during this time, anyway, there is a lot of time, and a lot of dishes can be made when cooking dinner on the Internet, Nia is also blessed, and there are even some signs of gaining weight.

But it's not without good news, for the child's problem, Nia also agreed, she went back to Kevin's house several times during this time, but she didn't let Jimmy come over, she should have talked to Kevin and his wife about this problem, so with the efforts of Jimmy and Nia, some gadgets in the drawer are basically unemployed recently, as for when to use them, it depends on the follow-up efforts.

Anyway, Jimmy still hopes that he can have offspring, but he has been deliberately using condoms for a few years here, after all, there is no guarantee, and now that he is married, he naturally hopes to have children as soon as possible. The reason for his uneasiness is actually that this future child has already been targeted, and he doesn't know what to do next.

But this is something that will be worried about for a long time, as long as he pays attention, at least no one will be able to force his children, and at this point, he at least has a choice.

After getting up in the morning and making breakfast and kissing Nia goodbye, Jimmy left the house with his sandwich and bag, and when he got to the office, the others had not yet arrived, so Jimmy took out the display box prepared in the bag, packed the former Secret Service Medal and put it on the table, cleaned the table before getting up to wash the tea set.

Mark and Julia came to the office on time, and they were a little surprised to see that Jimmy was already there, mainly because Jimmy had too little time in the office in the last two months, first on a honeymoon, then on a business trip to cooperate with DHS to handle the case, and then an administrative leave for two weeks, all the things in their group were piled up on Mark and Julia, making them both a lot more nervous and busy, dealing with the work of senior agents and even supervising agents as special agents.

Jimmy invited the two to sit down for tea together, and by the way, they chatted about their recent work, which was a morning meeting of the group.

Although Jimmy was not there, the two of them also successfully solved a murder case, which is a great gain, especially Julia, this time it was completely by her keen awareness of the abnormality in the surveillance, which found the suspect's whereabouts from the blurred image, and then relied on the two of them to visit and investigate, and successfully found the location of the suspect, and the subsequent arrest was much simpler.

The morning meeting didn't last long, Jimmy let them continue to be busy after learning about their work in the recent period, and he left the office and didn't come back for a while, so he always had to say hello to Ruiz and them, as it was traditional workplace etiquette.

What he didn't expect was that Ruiz actually gave him a surprise, "Jimmy, get ready, I'll go to Washington DC in two days, there is an award ceremony on DHS, for you." ”

Jimmy looked at Ruiz in surprise: "Medal again?" Why? Didn't you refuse them to come? ”

Ruiz: "It's not to transfer you over, it's just for the last case, which can be regarded as compensation." This is the invitation they just announced yesterday, and Dave had someone send it in the morning. ”

Jimmy: "They don't ask for anything else, do they?" ”

Ruiz: "At least not yet, just be careful not to say the wrong thing." ”

Jimmy: "OK, I see. ”

It seems that this case is completely closed here, otherwise Jimmy would not have been awarded a medal, you must know that they are people from different systems, and they must have come to a conclusion to do this. That's fine, and Jimmy doesn't have to worry about someone trying to dig him up.

The DHS award ceremony was relatively grand, this time not only for Jimmy, but also for Agent Raymond and another agent.

Jimmy received the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Medal of Excellence, which is awarded to individuals for outstanding performance and significant contributions in the field of homeland security, while Agent Raymond received the Department of Homeland Security, which is awarded to individuals within the department for outstanding performance in protecting national security, and the other agent received the Distinguished Service Medal, three different medals for three people, which is also considered special treatment.

After the award, Jimmy chatted with Raymond for a while, asked them about the follow-up, and then returned to New York without any special incidents.

Concentrate:

In the last photo, someone was curious about the treatment GS14, and I would like to add a little information here.

The U.S. government's general hierarchy adopts a three-class post system, namely the first level of executive schedule (literally translated as executive advanced, abbreviated as ES), the second class senior executive level (literal translation as senior executive/senior level, abbreviated as SES/SL), and the third class general schedule (literal translation as ordinary advanced, abbreviated as GS). The first and second classes belong to senior leadership positions. In addition, the federal government also has worker jobs (Blue-Collar), which are usually manual jobs such as movers, installers, and craftsmen, and are paid under the Federal Wage System (FWS).

The ordinary grade of government employees is divided into 15 grades, and each level is divided into 10 grades (step), among them, GS-1 grade is the lowest, GS-15 grade is the highest, and the 10 grades in each grade are also gradually increased according to the number of years, and there are general years of age requirements for upgrading.

According to the latest GS data, in 2023, the GS-1 will go from 24464 to 30608, the GS-2 will go from 27508 to 34619, and so on, and the GS-14 will go from 116393 to 151308.

The starting level of the FBI agent is GS11/12, and GS13/14 is the senior agent, and the supervision agent level, the position level and salary level are not strictly one-to-one, and the agent of the same level may also belong to different GS levels.

FBI agents also have a series of subsidies such as action allowances, overtime pay, performance bonuses, regional subsidies, etc., as well as some benefits, such as medical insurance, pension plans, and education allowances, so everyone's income will be different.

I didn't list Jimmy's monthly income in detail, it's too complicated, and he is currently set as GS-13, about 100,000-110,000 annual salary, subsidies and the like are too troublesome to calculate, just be pretty bad.

In addition, the pay scale of federal employees and the rank of the military officer are basically corresponding, but not strictly corresponding, GS1-4 corresponds to the soldier's E1-4, GS5-6 corresponds to the non-commissioned officer's E5-E9, GS7-11 corresponds to the lieutenant O1-3, GS12-15 corresponds to the colonel's O4-6, and the senior executive SES corresponds to O7-10.

These belong to the basics, and understanding these is good for understanding some plots, so I won't explain them clearly in the text later.

I went to Suzhou temporarily today, and I guess I will come back in the evening, and I originally planned to make up for it during the day, so I will see if I have time to deal with it on Sunday. At least I'm sure it should work fine to update. Good luck with crabs for all!
