Update: Found out yesterday I got the job. I have one more interview with the boss man but unless I insult his family the job is mine.
I feel bad leaving my current team but that is life in the military I suppose.
Looking forward to starting training and working a new area of this mission.
Thank you all for your kind words.
Great opportunity for me until I go back to Korea.
I'm well qualified but we will see how it goes.

Good luck! You'll do well. Have a great interview.

Otto,
You can be an asshole at times.
Every unit needs that asshole. I have an E6 who is that asshole. I need something done, I look at him and say, "take care of it" and leave with the understanding he will not violate any boundaries regarding harassment. He has a talk to all the enlisted and it gets done.
Good luck at your interview.

It's pretty informal as I am employed by the USN and this is just an assessment of my abilities to properly align with the position that needs to be be filled.
However, the position is normally a GS-13/O-4 position so filling it would be quite the bullet. Even by title the position if pretty damn good for my career.
