I was a GS civilian. I started in 1978 and retired in 2016. I was promoted from GS 5, 7, 9 while working at APG, MD. Our government forces others and I to move to Fort Lee VA or lose your job. I was not electable to retire and it created arguments between my wife an I for a year up until the final day to move. Civilian management stated promotions for all that move to Ft Lee VA. That was a fat lie for all the GS employees that were forced to move. I had to live in the building I worked in on the military post because I did not have a place to live and no Funds to get my own place to live. I worked there for 7 years and never got a promotion as management stated. I had to hide all my living things and leave the shop and return later to shower and prep for bed on a hard floor. I found out a gs 12 was leaving to a gs 13 position and I told by my supervisor I want here position and he stated do you have A degree. I told him I am in at the end of my third year completing and my supervisor said your not getting that job. Fellow military and civilians said I should have been given that job because of my knowledge and years of experience. I was admitted to the hospital to have a stent placed in my heart and my GS civilians did not call or come to inquire as to my progress. I walked in my supervisors office and stated I am retiring Jan 31 2016. I don't stress anymore an my health is a lot better. All civilian grades need to be eliminated from all military schools across the US.
