Qualifications FAQ

Question

All of my work experience was obtained while serving on active duty in the Army. Based on my military rank/grade, how can I find out the civilian salary, pay, and grade level I qualify for?

Answer

Your military pay, grade, and rank alone cannot determine your eligibility for a specific civilian salary, grade level, or pay range. On your job application form, it is important that you completely and accurately describe the duties you performed during your military service, particularly those military duties that relate directly to the position you are applying for. The agency will then evaluate your qualifications to determine whether you are eligible for the occupation and grade levels advertised on the vacancy announcement. Please be sure to submit all requested documents in a timely manner and follow the application procedures described in the vacancy announcement.
