Is attention to detail or the ability to follow instructions a requirement?

I suspect some one from the local area already has a foot in the door.

To clarify all US citizens are eligible. There are TWO 2 positions available. No prior military experience, senior or master rigger may apply. Create an online profile and add resume on the USAJOBS.GOV website. Include all job duties that are listed in the posting in your resume. The resumes are computer scanned so the keywords are necessary. The posting ends June 11 at midnight. Health and dental benefits and retirement matching (TSP). Local area is in Colorado Springs. Need I say more. Good luck.

The reason I asked whether attention to detail or ability to follow instructions is a requirement is because dz.com policy is to post ads like this in the classifieds. But I'm not a moderator, so what do I know?

Is one allowed to jump at this job or is it just parachute packing?

[BeauRiebe 0]

Don't get your hopes up to jump too often if this is a rigger slot. If you have ratings (TI, AFFI, Pro) and can prove yourself you may get to jump some or go on trips. Either way if you do get to jump, it's free! But you'll still have to deal with government/military politics and constant budget constraints.
