Hi, If anyone gives a specific answer, it'll be an assumption. I say this b/c nobody knows yet what limitations or restrictions will be put in place. The DoD hiring freeze just came out 28 Feb and the different services are currently trying to gain guidance on breadth of freeze and how various programs are affected. I work for Navy, and all programs are currently paused pending guidance. Paused is just that, not cancelled or go ahead. Reason is the hiring freeze memo was very specific in not fill or onboard any positions. However, guidance is being sought because some programs / hiring actions are required / based on laws. BTW: depending on how a position was vacated, it may not be able to fill. Those positions vacated by Deferred Resignation Program (DRP) requires either the position be abolished or a 1 for 1 substitute. I know SMART is also trying to get guidance.
