Do you work there? I saw the posting but had no idea where to live nearby. How is the traffic there? How is the pay vs cost of living? That appears to be decent WG-11 pay however higher WG-11 pay means higher cost of living. Would they bring me on as a step 5? Why are there four openings suddenly? Can't get military to do it? I'm primarily an Air Force K3/K4 geek. If I could get some serious info I'd apply. It's open to all citizens and I never saw an attempt at internal government hires.

It's a very good wage for the cost of living.
Depends on how far you want to drive as to where to live.  I know people that drive 2+ hours everyday. 
Traffic really isn't bad.
No idea what step they would bring you in, that's an HR decision.
We just hired three internally a few months ago. The four openings are to replace the 4 lost over the last 6 months to other jobs internally.
