Hi. I saw this and it caught my eye. Yes, my husband found one (I actually found it for him and e-mailed him the listing, lol). He had applied for several but he did so knowing he didn't qualify specifically, but just to get his resume "out there". This one now, actually was a God send, it fits his expertise to a "T" and was what he was looking for. We did want something out of the area in another state, but we knew we'd be more than willing to stay if something came up here. Now, he's 12 miles away from his work, as opposed to 51 and into the district (DC) from home like he was when he was active duty (he just retired, and is still on terminal leave, but is working at this new job).
It's a GS12 level, pretty decent. Pay is less than the military, but his retirement makes up for the difference which is fine, we didn't expect to get rich unless he wanted to commute to DC.
He applied in Nov/Dec timeframe last yr. We got an e-mail confirming his answers to questions in March, another one just like it early April, an e-mail mid April for interview, then we didn't hear back for a while, almost June, maybe. Then it was an e-mail to call asap, and he ended up getting it. What they told him was that his leadership in deploying was the deciding factor between him and a career AF guy, who hadn't led troops and equipment through a foreign country.
HTH
