nice. i am not sure what pension I get if any, I chose a 403b acct when i started my benefits. Took 5 yrs to be vested in the state and I didnt think I would be here this long. I will also get a few bucks from ups, they bought out my pt pension but not my ft pension.

Mines actualy doing well. I sat down with a rep 2 yrs ago just as the economy was going in the shitter. We actualy invested more agressively at the time. Took a little hit at the time but have gotten sick returns the last 3 quarters, and am off to a good start on this one.

I want to talk to them again to see if I should reallocate some funds again and be more conservative or stay the course.

Yeah, I got fucked.
Got hired on as a guard federal tech 1 week before our activation, but because I was leaving for a year, they wouldn't do my paperwork. They are holding the position for me when I get back, but I got none of the benifits of being a fed employee this whole time I'm gone.
Missing out on TSP matching, 120 hrs mil leave, 1 "step" of pay, and a year of vaca increase.

I figure it cost me around $7000

No doubt, and taking a pay cut to take this job. But the hours are better.
Still looking for other federal work. Would really like to get into something outdoors. Something either dealing with fish and wildlife, ag, law enforcement, or a combo thereof.
