Most FSOs I've met and worked with don't at all keep up with anything relevant to their jobs. Its known to be a complete dead-end job in the Federal Gov't, with exception of people employed at Defense Contractors who have the role of FSO on top of another role. For those folks, its just a task of assisting with clearances and the like on top of their normal duties.
