I hope your right on the pay! 
It looks like G-5 is as high as the job gets though. As far as retirement goes, that is not in my plan, never has been. I'm sure they would force me out at some point but then I'll be looking for work just like I am now! :usa:
Until FDR and the progressive movement only the richest would have a thought about relaxing the last years of life. Now they have turned it into some perceived "right" every person has regardless of what they produced. Society will not function long this way, just a mathematical reality. :twocents:

My buddy Jack when to work for Civil Service back in the late 90's, he had spent some time in the Army and they back dated his seniority date to 1986. Jack is getting ready to retire, he has worked the system and is retiring at near $100k, 30 years service etc.
You are x military, work it!!!! (Jack was not anything much in the Army, never saw a combat tour nothing, but it worked it his favor.
Another buddy came in the door like you at a low level. BUT he was older, had a wife and kids and worked the system to bring him in the door at a MUCH higher 'Step". There are about 10 steps and the spread is from $10 to $20k...so they bring you in at say a step 7, then you go to get promoted to the next level up, well in CS there is this thing called pay save (IIRC). Lets say you are making $40k, but the promotion will be to the next higher but at a lower step and you would now make $38k...pay save keeps that from happening.
Your goal is to work your military service for a earlier seniority date and to work the step system for a higher step. Jim who worked for me got promoted and also got a major step increase . Jim worked for me back in the early 90's and was making MAX he was making $105 or $103 IIRC, he retired a few years after I did and is knocking down $87k. Jim also got backdated for his military service, but I forgot how many years but a good chunk, like 6 years or so. He was a Medic. I had a LOT (as in over a 100) CS folks working for me and did my best to take care of them. Then one day as I sat there in a meeting I realized of all my senior staff I was the lowest paid, LOL.
Go for it and work it you will win cause when they make the final offer they do NOT want to start all over again, so you will be holding the ACE cards!!!
