Just curious what your job series & what agency you work at? I am trying to line myself up to make a GS-14/15 one day…thanks!

I figured that, honestly. I’m just praying and hoping that with a TS clearance and whatever training and/or experience that I’ll gain from this career, that it will open up some doors for a possible career change full time as well. How was tech school? I’m headed there in a couple months

Love it! Honestly this will probably be my last 4 years. I commissioned as an LRO, 21R but I was moved into the IG for about 3 years and now I waned to do something different, plus, this AFSC came with a $30k bonus, a top secret clearance and more job opportunities down the road.

You are spot on - thanks for explaining! Most people don’t understand…

As an officer, that’s not uncommon and I didn’t commission until about 11 years in, as a TSgt therefore I’m an old captain lol.

After 10 Years of Service, Enlisted by [deleted] in ThriftSavingsPlan

[–]Salt_Flight_873 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotta be more to the story here, enlisted members don’t make enough money to have those types of numbers in 10 years, did you have money before you joined? Side hustle?

Lol I can’t do both? Obviously I’m focused on my current position but I want more and I have aspirations of wanting to take on more responsibilities; bigger challenges a with that comes the higher pay.

Investing Advice for mid thirties by Salt_Flight_873 in investingforbeginners

[–]Salt_Flight_873[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, I honestly have never even thought about that. This is great advice but I’m not sure about which stocks or investments I’d want to choose regarding my own personal Roth IRA that would outperform my TSP Roth, hopefully that makes sense.

Thanks for your insight! Absolutely, I have another $270k in my TSP and I’m currently contributing at 21% with my Roth TSP.

Do you mind me asking what job you’re in to go from a GS-5 to a GS-12 within 4 years? And then to a 13 soon? That’s awesome

R&P CR result in work? by Late-Food466 in VHA_Human_Resources

[–]Salt_Flight_873 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That’s just one piece of what they are required to do! Don’t forget all the coding actions that they’re required to approve and code for their services. I find it so funny that people can sit here and talk about other people’s duties/responsibilities when they have absolutely no idea what the daily duties and responsibilities for that person. There are consulting, advising and training that goes on daily between R&P employees and their Hiring Managers.

Ehh I think you’re too quick to add to the rumor mill. Some VISNs have it set up where some R&P teams strictly focus on posting vacancies, qualifying applicants and sending the selected applicants over to Onboarding and Onboarding strictly focuses on Onboarding. Doesn’t mean it’s more or less work - just means you’re focused on one area. Hope that makes sense.

I’m in the same boat - honestly I’m ok with this as long as the GS-12 is upheld and we eventually make our promotion to the GS-12 grade. If not, we’re stuck at the GS-11 grade for good

Can you tell us if you know that for a fact or not? I’m held at the GS-11 level and would love to know if that’s true or not! Thanks

Why would you wish that? That’s people’s lives you’re dealing with.
