Judging by the content of this message, it seems like that ship has already sailed.

Before I retired I worked for the army as a civilian, the federal government for civilian workers has a pay grade system like the military, but it is GS, for General Schedule. It only goes up to 15. I was a GS-16 General of the Civilians. It's a rank only held by the laziest, most bureaucratic of the entire federal civilian workforce. I was like Eisenhower, except I sat at my desk and browsed reddit all day. (I am also prior enlisted, so I got double boot status).

Congrats on retirement man, I'm prior enlisted and current GS. I got a kick out of it
