That is a very-real, real-world truth. In practice, you use as many local nationals (or Third-Country Nationals or TCN) as possible unless at a truly icky high/hostile counterintelligence threat locale.
General Anyone ever given the "Diplomat" career field the High Guard/Mercenary treatment?

Well the 2884 FS-01's on the board would love to hear more about the Specialists...
Was that sarcasm or merely irony?
In general, some of the Specialists start at lower FS grades (Classes) than do the Generalists; notably the Office Management Specialists (OMS, previously called "Foreign Service Secretaries"); who also top-out at only FS-02 (Class 2), and OMS positions at this grade are fairly rare. Likewise, there tend to be fairly few Senior Foreign Service (SFS) positions in the Specialist career-fields and those would be filling headquarters/management positions rather than at embassies or consulates.
And I seem to have overlooked that there are three more (lowest) FS pay grades or classes below the "Junior Officer" class of 4 thru 6:
Class 7 (FS-07)
Class 8 (FS-08)
Class 9 (FS-09)
These would be the entering ranks of administrative and technical (A&T) staff such as Foreign Service Specialists (FSS) as well as diplomatic family members filling positions authorized for them to encumber.
