Im asking if anyone basically has information on the likelyhood of me getting the job there when I do my MOS/station wishlist. So thank you for your irrelevant post

kthxbye
K dude brah,

Way to miss the point of my post. You're clearly officer material.

Your likelihood of getting a certain job on a certain base is based upon manpower needs (specifically of a smaller subset of military personnel), which is almost completely impossible to measure without inside knowledge of manpower needs, rotation dates and projected incoming manpower.

In other words, it's inscrutable.

My point was (obviously not-so-clearly-stated) at the bottom of the post.

You are far more likely to end up in Korea than Japan, regardless of your job.

Mostly true, but anyone that takes the words of their recruiter at face value is looking to buy some oceanfront property in Kansas.

For me in the USMC, both times I requested duty stations, I received the LAST option I chose.

But they gave me one of the ones I chose, at least.

Good luck with that.




Final note - I fear for the future of US soldiers being led by people who sign correspondence 'kthxbye'.
