FLETC did an export class out to the West Coast at a naval base a few years ago. We were told specifically that we had ZERO PX/ Commissary/ Class 6 privileges. I was raised an Army brat and kept my dependent ID until I was 23and knew what we were missing out on, BUT, the GI's earned those privileges and I ain't one to dispute it. If I had wanted to retain the base privileges from my youth, I would have enlisted or accepted the ROTC scholarship I was offered. I didn't, so therefore, I don't get to partake....

Having a federal commission does not equate to serving in the military, so as has been said before, there are not any privileges of which you ask....

GS-11 = 2nd Lt.
GS-12 = 1st Lt.
GS-13 = Captain
GS-14 = Major
GS-15 = Lt. Colonel

GS-1 thru GS-3 = E-1 thru E-3 = Private thru Private First Class
GS-4 = E-4 = Corporal or Specialist
GS-5 = E-5 thru E-6 = Sergeant thru Staff Sergeant
GS-6 = E-7 thru E-9 = Sergeant First Class thru Sergeant Major
GS-7 = O-1 = 2nd Lieutenant
GS-8 thru GS-9 = O-2 and CW2 = 1st Lieutenant/Chief Warrant Officer 2
GS-10 thru GS-11 = O-3 and CW3 = Captain/Chief Warrant Officer 3
GS-12 = O-4 and CW4 = Major/Chief Warrant Officer 4
GS-13 thru GS-14 = O-5 and CW5 = Lieutenant Colonel/Chief Warrant Officer 5
GS-15 = O-6 = Colonel

Nice! I'm promoted two ranks in just two posts! At this rate, I'll be running the Joint Chiefs in no time. ;)

thanks for the comments. i'm not worried about the prisoners.. i've been a corrections officer for 4 years working in the worst prison in florida so i know i can handle the bop. the reason why i'm asking is because my fathers friends work for the feds and have access to the base and kids can go to school on my base...thanks...

Hi smcc360,

Your Administrative promotion will get you a much better table in the cafeteria at the Pentagon, the next time you are there!

[YankeeFan004]

I am sure another privileges for working for the BOP is a nice shiny pair of hand cuffs, maybe even a hand cuff key. I would hang on to that one cause they may come in handy. LOL

Actually, it got me some pretty nice treatment and nicer quarters while traveling in and out of the nice vacation spots here in the mid east. On both occasions it equated to pretty VIP treatment.

Dang it! I knew I was missing out on something!! The ones I got issued aren't shiny... :rolleyes::p
Then again I'm just an 83, low on the totem poll of life. ;)

Hi Everyone,

I have been coordinating multi-day training sessions at various military installations for a number of years, and have relied on the information provided by the Base Housing Personnel which I posted here.

However, thanks very much to Vorpal for his/her link. Based on the information in it I stand very much corrected, and now feel my personnel may have been getting "screwed" in terms of quality of accomodations. Imagine putting up with and trying to explain to approximately a dozen people why their rooms were not air-conditioned when everyone elses were ..... As you all may well know, when you try to explain that its based on "seniority", the newer personnel do not want to hear any of that because to them seniority is a dirty word!

For those who do not want to wade through the 248 page US Army document, the following grade/rank equivalents are presented in it:

GS-1 thru GS-3 = E-1 thru E-3 = Private thru Private First Class
GS-4 = E-4 = Corporal or Specialist
GS-5 = E-5 thru E-6 = Sergeant thru Staff Sergeant
GS-6 = E-7 thru E-9 = Sergeant First Class thru Sergeant Major
GS-7 = O-1 = 2nd Lieutenant
GS-8 thru GS-9 = O-2 and CW2 = 1st Lieutenant/Chief Warrant Officer 2
GS-10 thru GS-11 = O-3 and CW3 = Captain/Chief Warrant Officer 3
GS-12 = O-4 and CW4 = Major/Chief Warrant Officer 4
GS-13 thru GS-14 = O-5 and CW5 = Lieutenant Colonel/Chief Warrant Officer 5
GS-15 = O-6 = Colonel

My apologies for passing on mis-information, and thanks again to Vorpal for correcting it. I consider this an object lesson about just listening to Base Housing Personnel instead of doing the research myself years ago. Please keep in mind that these equivalents are still just for administrative purposes only. (Gee, I could have been getting a two or three room suite at the BOQ!!!)

Very glad to help.

I saw your snide attitude with Norm the first time around. I almost even commented, but I thought nah... he may not have ment it that way. Well yea you may want to pipe down and lay low. There is no reason to take an attitude that fast on here.

red sent.

If only BIG could hit with red twice. :(

That would learn you.

Consider it taken care of. ;)

Hard to shake the Jagoff stigma once you have it.......good luck. Only privledge you should expect is the privledge of your job. If you EXPECT more than that your in the wrong profession.
