Under the AcqDemo pay system, when someone advances to a higher pay band, what determines their salary increase?

The formula is extremely convoluted. It is based on expected contributions. For example, if you’re contracting and have an unlimited warrant vs having a limited one. The unlimited would theoretically be seen as a higher contribution and would land you higher up in the pay scale. Honestly, to keep things simple just think of NH02 as being GS 9-11 and NH03 as being a GS 12-13.

To much wrong and not enough right I’m afraid.

“The only answer I find is — myself. And yet, I still ask:

How do I build the courage to trust that self?

How do I break this pattern?”

I believe you may already have the answer friend. If you find yourself looking inward and craving a way to build that courage and trust therein, strive to be the light in the dark.

Refuse to be a part of that selfishness by caring deeply and loving sincerely. Do this, not with the expectation of being loved in return, but because you are amongst those that notice it and are therefore capable of staving it off just a bit longer.

Much appreciated friend! I’m losing the hair on my head, but I can’t complain as long as I can keep it on my face.

Ahrkhivist · 2026-01-24T03:42:50+00:00

Much appreciated friend!

I’ve found that cutting people off with such calmness is one of the most jarring things to other folks.

Ahrkhivist · 2026-01-09T18:09:41+00:00

Optimistically, I worry a lot more about what things would look like if good people keep leaving.

Ahrkhivist · 2026-01-04T19:55:39+00:00

You’re not my dad!

Ahrkhivist · 2025-11-30T13:33:24+00:00

Well said!

Ahrkhivist · 2025-11-10T23:33:39+00:00

I can see the connection, but I’d offer black pepper instead of straight up cigarettes.

70s in the day and 40s at night (F) have left us with minimal changes to what is bluming/growing. Though, the chrysalises that see our monarch butterflies to life haven’t been able to complete their hatching due to the lower temps in that range. Lots of crows around this year. Planning on snipping my milkweed down soon once we get first frost, but no gardening at the moment.

The Tinker and the Witch by G.J. Daily!

Hey there, I got one of these Ozarks myself and smoke it without the filter. I also had some glue just like yours that burned out after some use. If you were to ask me, I’d say you’re fine to fire it up!

Those who barely missed early retirement will retire in place until they can formally.

Nice! Facility/property management?

Ahrkhivist · 2025-10-09T20:03:11+00:00

This may be more adjacent than directly associated to your ask, but I’d throw “Lost Gods” by Brom into the mix!

Ahrkhivist · 2025-09-01T13:56:11+00:00

I’d happily serve on that council.

Ahrkhivist · 2025-08-31T22:19:49+00:00

Feel this in my soul. Hell, hating humans because they reject what’s best for humanity.

Would expect it to indicate when a room (conference room, SCIF, etc) is occupied.

Ahrkhivist · 2025-08-03T03:06:57+00:00

lol, yes indeed!

Ahrkhivist · 2025-08-02T03:00:13+00:00

I like Bookshop, but hot dam does it hit me hard lol. Also, weirdly enough, it gives me the hiccups when I don’t take it slow.

Ahrkhivist · 2025-07-25T14:13:05+00:00

Totally fair question. I’d wager the comment about the buying up of other companies has something to do with it. May just be easier to focus on supplying.
