What about the people that gave up living in cities with their famlies and friends to secure their retirement. Why aren't the SCD in RIF being Grandfathered in for those who were transferred in BRAC. I left San Antonio with 20 years of service when Kelly closed moved to Oklahoma to save my years in service to be able to return with retirement in hand. Now I have 25 years and need 5 more to retire, you say NSPS is a good thing because my SCD will no longer count under NSPS in a RIF (unless I'm tie with someone with the same score)! That only my performance will count, well let me tell you after 18 years of straight superior performance I had to start all over in a new series, new field and new area and the best I've gotten is excellent because I've been moved twice and now NSPS allows management to continue moving me and throwing me into more new series anyone in Civil Service knows that means you have to start all over and your first apprisals are normally routinely low because your newly assigned and still learning the job"! If national security is really why we need to reform to attract the professionals and be able to eliminate the poor performers then reform the hiring and firing practices what does my SCD in RIF have to do with that! What does getting a Cost of Living raise have to do with (the only raise I've recieved since arriving at Tinker). By the way the reason professionals go into government services is the stability you would have NSPS change all the rights set in place for disinterested officials to review personnel cases and leave it to a managment board who wouldn't be worth their salt if they didn't back their supervisors!
