I was under the impression I would get the 33,100 at the academy since I am a veteran who separated within the last 3 years and therefore qualify for VRA, even on ASAP it says I qualify for VRA. but my HR person is telling me since I applied under a general public announcement I only get the 17,046 plus locality . Is that right, there is no way I could have applied to a VRA announcement since I was not a former controller
