I can't comment on DOD but I can about EPA and state environmental agencies.  EPA pays very well and their benefits are likewise very good when compared to my industry.  It used to be that people would put some time in at the agency and then go to consulting or industry for a big pay bump and less rich benefits plan.  Not so much these days as the pay differential is negligible and the benefits are still better than we can offer.  State agencies are a mixed bag, some comparable to EPA and some less.
