From what I see, you’re not gonna **** them off. Our most recent hire was the chief instructor at a local school. Every time he was in the facility he made a point of letting the office manager know he was interested.

Below those grades, you can get either at your request. It's not common to be working much over/comp time in the first year, except for travel to OKC.

If it was irregular overtime...think of this as pop-up or unscheduled overtime...like an 8-hour observation flight that extends to 10-hours...then management may choose to renumerate an FLSA-Exempt employee with compensatory time rather than paid overtime. An FLSA-Non Exempt employee has the choice in this scenario.

I know they rate you as FG-9-12 Step 5 depending on background. Do you know if you get credit for military time.
