DoD hiring freeze

[Swanee]

Has any of my fellow GS friends in DoD received either step increases, meritorious cash awards, time off awards, or whole grade increases this year? It seems that indeed, at least in AF land, there is a freeze on such things.

The ARTs here have not.

Blocking Media Magik is a great YouTube move. I’ve been know to enjoy a good flying/military video but they are nut-so.

I think it's actually a pretty dress, but not something I'd expect a spokesperson to wear when addressing the public.

Ok, fair point. We did give one of my friends the reverse handmaid name, OfBrittany

My step increase is due end of the month. My agency did stop/hault our annual promotion program which was a huge blow to a ton of people and probably why we exceded an 8% reduction in workforce via volutary measures.
