your GS level does depend on your GPA. i started at GG (which stands for something different, but is exactly the same from everything i've seen) 5 and am now a GG-11. i'll be a 12 in august, and hopefully a 13 1.5 years after that. for my job title, i go from grade 5-7-9-11-12 then 13's are technically not awarded automatically, but everyone i've talked to that has one says it just takes a few more months. there are lots of programs from the govt that pay for you to go back to school, but it depends on your training officer. if you have one as worthless as mine, it'll take you several years for you to do what you want if you get to at all but thats a whole nother essay i could write about that. but govt security is pretty nice, good benefits, i work an extra hour every day so i get every other friday off (which seems to usually coincide with track weekends) and anything short of treason or crude overt sexual harrassment will not get you fired. in fact, gross incompetence seems to be a prerequisite for some positions at my work.
the subject of pay banding seems to come up a lot which keeps getting delayed but i hope it doesnt come until i get my 13 which will put me in the top tier of pay banding. aside from that, i dont know much about it
