There's also another grade out there: "WG" -- A WG/4 is about the same as a GS/7 -- $20ish an hour. Mostly a maintenance worker/trades category, the WG classification would be a good place to look if you come from a construction background.

Veteran's preference, a big leg up on KSA's and stuff (I guess this depends on what you do in the military and what you're applying for in the government, but there's a lot of potential there), and often a security clearance. The level of clearance will depend on what you do in the military; a grunt might only have a Secret or something, but other ratings (intel, working on/with classified tech, etc) would come with a higher clearance like a TS or TS/SCI.

It's a huge advantage, in short. I was looking into the AF a few weeks ago but the hiring prospects for non-rated officers looked pretty grim, they're downsizing atm.

Not so much in the clearance department. You still will be re-vetted; however, there *are* good preferences for vets, especially disabled ones: here is the point preference scale.
