Good summary. I recently retired after 28 years in the military...the last 3.5 at the Pentagon. Over the years I saw many civil servants with very little education and limited skills attain very high grades. I recently worked with a HS grad who's only skill was pulling reports from an antiquated personnel system. She was a GS-13 when she retired...

In the DC area a GS 13 isn’t all that high a grade.

Dear TankerKC,

Thanks for the comments.

I met a few folks like your paper-filing GS-13 along the way.

And although a GS-13 is only a front-line supervisor in the government, in the Washington, DC area, a GS-13 still makes $89K - $115K per year. Not bad for a clerk!!
