Not so! Not so! Don't let what they say in the advertisement dissuade you. I just completed the full interview process and was offered a position at the end of it. I declined because I'm a Feddie (& like you, a Veteran) and they offered no reinstatement provision if I jumped ship from my current agency to theirs -- i.e., I'm could be completely out of a job anywhere between one pay period to at most six years after joining USDS. THAT was the problem -- no job security. They are severely limiting the type of folks they're attracting with that model (i.e., the unemployed, risk-takers, or those who a family is not relying on for income).

BUT... I was told three times during the interview that teleworking would be o.k. and that I might have to travel about once a month or so.
