Q. I worked as a temporary hire for two years aboard the Thomas G. Thompson, the University of Washington research vessel, and received time stubs for those periods. I also had my merchant marine Z-Card at the time. I am now employed as a federal officer and want to know if this time counts toward retirement.
A. No.

If I work in a temporary GS position do this apply for the 5 year rule overseas.
Probably not. If you are a current employee, you can check with your personnel office. If you aren’t, you’d need to ask the person who is hiring you for that temporary position to find the answer.
