I AM SENDING MY COMMENTS ON THE DOCKET # NSPS 2005-001. I HAVE SENT MANY EMAILS OF MY DISPLEASURE OF MR BUSH AND MR RUMSFELDS TRYING TO TAKE AWAY ALL MY RIGHTS AS A GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEE. I AM NOW SENDING THEM AGAIN. I DON'T SE WHY ON GODS GREEN EARTH YOU WOULD WANT TO CHANGE A SYSTEM THAT HAS WORKED FOR YRS. WE THE FEDERAL EMPLOYEES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA ARE THE SECURITY OF THE NATION BECAUSE WE TOOK AN OATH JUST LIKE THE MILITARY TO PROTECT OUR COUNTRY FROM ALL FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC. THIS INCLUDES THE ONES WHOM ARE TRYING TO TAKE AWAY OUR RIGHTS AS GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES. I SPENT 20 YRS IN THE AIR FORCE AND AM NOW GOING ON 16 YRS AS A GOVERNMENT CIVILIAN EMPLOYEE AND NOW YOUR TRYING TO TELL ME THAT WE ARE A SECURITY RISK TO OUR COUNTRY. THIS NEW NSPS SYSTEM IS JUST A FALL BACK TO THE GOOD OLE BOY SYSTEM OF MANAGING. IF THE BOSS LIKES YOU YOU GET A PAY RAISE IF YOUR NOT ONE OF HIS FAVORITES THEN YOU DON'T GET A PAY RAISE AND CAN ALSO GET A 10 % REDUCTION IN YOUR PAY AND THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT. IN MY OPINION WE OUR KINDA GOING TOWARDS THE WAY RUSSIA AND GERMANY DID THEIR FOLKS AND I DON'T THINK IT'S DEMOCRACY. I AGREE WHOLE HEARTEDLY THAT MISSION SHOULD COME FIRST BUT NOT AT THE EXPENSE OF MY FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND REPRESENTATION. FROM WHAT I SEE YOU ALL WON'T HAVE ANY RESPECT FOR ANY INDIVIDUAL.YOUR CERTAINLY NOT RESPECTING OUR RIGHTS WHEN WE CAN'T BE REPRESENTED BY THE UNION OR ANYONE ELSE. YOU GIVING THE HEAD PERSON TO MAKE THE DECISIONS AND HIS WORD BEING FINAL. I ALSO DON'T THINK I SHOULD BE CLASSIFIED WITH A CARPENTER OR PLUMBER BECAUSE I'M AN A/C AND HEATING MECHANIC.I DON'T LIKE OR UNDERSTAND THIS PAY BANDING AND I SURE DON'T LIKE HAVING MY PAY CUT OR SOMEONE THAT DOESN'T DO AS MUCH WORK AS I DO GETTING A PAY RAISE OR BONUS AND ME GETTING MY PAY CUT 10 %.I ALSO DON'T LIKE THE IDEA THAT THEY CAN GO OUT ON THE STREET AND HIRE SOMEONE AND PAY THEM MORE THAN ME AND GIVE THEM BONUSES. I'M 55 YRS OLD AND I CAN'T SEE ME DEPLOYING TO AN OVERSEAS AREA LIKE A 18 OR 20 YR OLD TO WORK BESIDE HIM AND NOT GET PAID AS MUCH AS HE DOES OR HAVE THE SAME PROTECTION AS HE DOES. I ALSO DON'T LIKE THE IDEA THAT YOUR GONNA MAKEUP THE RULES AS YOU GO ALONG.YOU ARE TAKING AWAY ALL OUR RIGHTS AS FEDERAL EMPLOYEES. ONE THING FOR SURE IS IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU WANT TO GET RID OF ALL FEDERAL WORKERS. HOW CAN A MAN COMING OFF THE STREET KNOW MORE THAN I DO IN MY JOB THAT I HAVE BEEN DOING SINCE I WAS 19 YRS OLD AND AM NOW 55 YRS OLD. I FOR ONE DO NOT LIKE THIS NEW SYSTEM AND I THINK IT SHOULD BE DONE AWAY WITH AND KEEP THE OLD SYSTEM JUST TWEAK IT A LITTLE.
