This is a great breakout of many possible Foreign Service Careers. If you are open to some suggestions, I'd offer the following tweaks:
1) Computer skill is a bit too high for FSOs. I'd say Computer: 1 might be better, with the extra point going to Language, Persuasion, or Observation (compelling justifications can be made for any of the latter). The first term of an FSO's career always includes a significant Consular adjudication component, so Interrogation and/or Forgery might also be appropriate. CA training covers fraud detection during the interviews and while reviewing documents.
AID and FAS look good. You could add Foreign Commercial Service (FCS) as well, with business as the specialized skill. These are the guys that, if they are any good, retire early and go make mad money because they have spent 20 years making business contacts with German bankers, Saudi billionaires, etc.
2) STS - I'd probably stat these guys out as Intrusion: 2, Electronics: 2, Computer: 1. They spend a lot of time re-keying locks, installing and repairing alarm sensors, updating spin-dial combos, reprogramming keypads, fixing delta barriers, etc. They know how all the stuff that keeps bad guys out works and they know it at a very low level.
3) DS Agent looks good. Maybe add Intrusion to the Subsequent terms list since they end up being adhoc STSs at post that are too small to have an STS position.
For for Information Management Specialist and IMTS Digital Tech, Computer Operator/Programer works well if you add Language and Streetwise to the subsequent terms list. Flip Computer and Electronics first term skills and you have IMTS Radio and IMTS Telephone.
Similarly RMOs and use Medical Doctor with Language and Streetwise added. FSHPs can be RNs with those added.
