You will receive credit for all qualifying experience, including volunteer experience. Your resume must clearly describe your relevant experience; if qualifying based on education, your transcripts will be required as part of your application. Additional information about transcripts is in this document.

Specialized Experienced: One year of specialized experience which includes; (1) Management level experience within Fire Protection and Prevention leading, directing and assigning work to Firefighter personnel within a large organization; (2) Extensive experience in directing and managing Aircraft Rescue Fire Fighting; (3) Extensive experience in program management; (4) Establishing performance standards. This definition of specialized experience is typical of work performed at the next lower grade/level position in the federal service (GS-10).

In addition to specialized experience, the position requires the incumbent to possess the following certifications:

- Fire Officer III,
- Fire Instructor II,
- Fire Inspector II,
- HAZMAT Incident Commander,

This position has been identified by Department of Army and approved by the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness as a secondary position for special retirement coverage as identified in 5 CFR 831 Subpart I for CSRS Retirement coverage and 5 CFR 842 Subpart H
for FERS retirement coverage.

Coverage under Special Retirement Coverage is NOT automatic. However, an employee may bring their existing special retirement coverage with them if they meet the transfer requirement below.

CSRS - Per CSRS and FERS Handbook, Subchapter 46A, Section 46A3.2-1C - The employee, while covered under the special provision, moves
directly (that is, without a break in service exceeding 3 days) from a primary position to a secondary position; and if applicable, the employee has
been continuously employed in a secondary position or positions since moving from a rigorous position without a break in service exceeding 3
days.

NOTES:

1. Service as a temporary or intermittent employee may be counted toward the 3-year requirement if it is otherwise qualifying. (While under an
intermittent tour of duty, only actual days worked are counted.) For purposes of applying the 3-year requirement, it does not matter whether the
service is actually made creditable by payment of a deposit or whether the service cannot be made creditable. Thus, even post-1998
nondeduction service (which can never be creditable under FERS for the purpose of qualifying for or computing a benefit can be used to meet
the 3-year requirement. Also, Federal service under another retirement system for Government employees may be used to meet the 3-year
requirement if it is otherwise qualifying.

2. A break in employment in secondary positions that begins with an involuntary separation (not for cause) within the meaning of 5 U.S.C. 8414(b)(21)(A) is continuous for this purpose.
