Forest Service

Today I received the letter that I asked for. Actually, I did not really ask for it--I kind of over-reacted and forced them to send it. The We-Have-Accepted-Your-Decline-E-mail! Hindsight tells me that it was a dumb thing to do. I got hired for an entry level GS-7 position in Cordova, AK. My original information had me making around $22/hour. Live able wage. Great Federal benefits. Increased retirement base. Increased TSP. Back in the saddle for sick, leave, annual leave, all that Government stuff. Bot NOOOOOOOOOOOO, I first had to get past the hit that my USPS retirement was to be deducted from my Forest Service wages. Down to less than $10 an hour. Can anyone live in Alaska for under $10/hour?
