Got the call from HR today!

Unfortunately, I was flying at the time so they left a voicemail. I called back, didn't get anyone and left a voicemail. No joy on a call back. I hope they haven't moved on....

Unlikely. They're used to phone tag.

Good luck.

PS. Let me know if I can answer any questions. I'm a GA Ops POI, midwest city with race cars.... LOL

About what I expected. First year is a little tough adjusting to government work, gone for months, more OJT than you can possibly finish. A lot of good co-workers and some not so good, like anywhere else. Just do your best to avoid the bad ones. Focusing on the light at the end for better schedule, pay, and location. All in all I don't regret it.

So far so good, everything I’ve been told about the first year is basically dead on (Boring, training, more training, watch the grass grow, etc). People in my office have been great tho and it’s certainly an interesting side of aviation to be a part of. No regrets at all.

On a side note, I saw that the ERR topic popped up and was hoping a couple of the veterans in the gig could answer a couple questions:

Is it possible to get an ERR approved without being a 13?
In order to put in an ERR does the location have to be one that is listed on UsaJobs or can it just be for any location that you want?

You can put in an ERR to anywhere. You would have better chance as GS13 but there is no requirement as long as the office is looking for the grade you are currently (assuming GS12). Not possible to ERR to a higher grade (cannot get a promotion). You can however ERR to a LOWER grade (13to 12) or (12 to 11) but I would not recommend doing that unless the situation is dire. Read the contract, there is an article on ERR’s. Good luck!

Also while we are on the subject, as we all know Usajobs doesn’t normally indicate the specific locations available (normally only for 13s or higher are they specified it seems), is there any way to find information about locations that aren’t listed on usajobs and finding out the specific grade that they are looking for other than calling up the fsdo or HR? AND do most ERRs give the relocation allowance or is that just far and few?
