Military jobs that transition to GS-2005
Strong alignment but NOT direct translation. GCSS-Army differs from federal supply systems (GSA Advantage, FedMall). DoD supply regulations differ from FAR/GSA rules. Veterans need to learn federal procurement and civilian supply chain management. Excellent foundation, common transition path, but expect learning curve.
Strong alignment for entry-level GS-2005 positions. Unit-level supply (92Y) has narrower scope than federal supply technician work. Hand receipt management is simpler than federal property accountability systems. Great foundation, but federal roles often manage larger inventories and work with GSA contracts. Expect some adaptation.
