About the Position: This position is located at Schofield Barracks, Hawaii.

The rental market is also very high, as are vehicle operating costs. Before deciding to relocate to the Islands, you should thoroughly research the housing options and costs. https://www.garrison.hawaii.army.mil/.

An adjusted Cost of Living Allowance (COLA) applies for federal employees in Hawaii. The adjusted COLA rate is not reflected in the salary shown for this position.

Federal employees in Hawaii are currently entitled to receive a 10.99% Cost of Living Allowance (COLA) in addition to the base salary. This is subject to change.
