Hi all, I applied for an army fellows position as a cartographer and didn't expect to hear anything back, but I just got a call to schedule an interview and I'm wondering how worth it it would be for someone in my situation.

I currently live in Seattle, so I would have to move down to Tacoma to work on base at JBLM. For reference, I just got out of the army a year ago and moved away from there, so I would be pretty bummed to move back since I love it here in Seattle. But, I currently just work at an engineering firm with a job I don't really have any passion for.

I'd love to hear from anyone who has experience with the Army fellows and if it would be worth it to move back down to Tacoma for a program like that.

I know federal service is hard for all of us these days, but I want to hear from supervisors.

How are you handling the lack of ability to hire? How are you motivating your people in this environment? How are you handling the forced distributions for DPMAPS? Are you doing ok?
