Cool job according to the job description , but I'm good where I am.

I have been retired for 25 years now.

I just work a lot in between fishing trips and vacations.

Work is for people who don't know how to fish.

If you put in 10 years at that salary, then retire, you will walk away with $7k a year from the pension.

 

[PeggyLee]

Sounds like a nice gig if you can make the commitment.

I wonder what the job really is if they aren't requiring a USCG Capt. license? 

[gregert12]

It is with the EPA so it can be anything from getting to the places for environmental review to assisting local departments on emergency call outs.  

Civil Service can't be too specific with the job postings since an "incomplete list" of applicants will require them to retest. If there was one opening, there must be at least 3 eligible non-veteran applicants (unless there is one veteran) in order to call for an interview.  If there are 2 openings, to have a "complete" list you need either 2 vets, 1 vet and 3 non-vets or 0 vets and 6 non-vets.      If you do not have enough applicants, the process restarts and you just wasted a year.
