[QUOTE="ragingclue, post: 11929042, member: 134397"] Uhh well at least when I was in, you got to pick East Coast, West Coast, or Overseas for your "desired" permanent duty station area out of MOS school. "East Coast" consisted of Jacksonville (NC), Cherry Point, or Beaufort. "West Coast" consisted of Camp Pendleton or MCAS Miramar. "Overseas" included Kaneohe, HI, Okitraz, or Iwa Kuni. We got to rate which options we wanted in order, but couldn't specify exact duty station preference. Still, when you look at the choices I've listed above, it's pretty easy to see one choice is FAR more popular than the others, making it harder to get as well. I got lucky and struck gold with MCAS Miramar, but I knew people who picked the same preferences I did and ended up in Okitraz. The SCUBA diving was nice when I was deployed there, but the command sucked and the people loathed your existence. Be careful what you wish for. Waterfront property is not always ideal. OP, take DaleM's advice. Recruiters are special people who care about numbers only, not about your personal well-being nor the unit's well-being where you're going (got a lot of ROCKS that didn't belong in our MOS but were pushed into it because of it being a skill MOS, resulting in waste of resources and guys who thought they'd be working on electronics but instead are serving shit on a plate in the chow hall).
