I recently accepted a FO for a GS-12 2210 position with DCMA and wanted to share my experience since it sounds like mine was unconventional compared to others. This is my first fed job and only like my 3rd fed application overall. This job was actually posted as a GS-11/12 DHA position and I found it on LinkedIn.

2/6 - Resume submitted through LinkedIn easy apply

2/15 - Received an email from hiring manager requesting a phone call. Called that afternoon and had a fairly informal call (wouldn't even really call it an interview) just talking about my current job, the position, the agency, some chit chat. I was told they needed to formally submit my resume and that they would contact me again

My SO and I have booked our first ever cruise next summer aboard the Scarlet Lady. Needless to say, we are very excited! I've been doing a ton of homework and I'm a bit concerned about our cabin location and noise. We are in a Sea Terrace room in the middle/aft area of Deck 14 and it looks like we're going to be directly below the galley. Has anyone here stayed in this area that could weigh in on the noise level? We're not super light sleepers but I'm wondering if it would be worth requesting a move to a different deck. I'm assuming that's something Sailor Services can do if there's availability right?
