[@mommymek4396]

why’d you regret it

[@danjoyaj]

The most impotant thing to do when choosing your preferred assignments is to 1. Make sure your job is available at the gaining base. Alot are contracted out. 2. Call the respective bases css and ask what their manning is. They will not be sending you somewhere they are 130 percent manned. If u have any more questions let me know.

[@nicolaskidd1507]

How do you call? Jus google the base name and call that number?

[@danjoyaj]

@@nicolaskidd1507 every base will have an operator. You can find out that prefix and go that route or network with someone that works there. Best way is if you are in already, Get into global.

[@drillsergeant5338]

The term, "Dream Sheet" came from a project called "Palace Dream" out of AFMPC. This is how it worked. I received an assignment back to Thailand during the war in Laos after serving 12 months in Thailand just two months previously. I called my career manager and bitched. He said that the only way I could get out of the assignment was he would post the assignment on Palace Dream for 30 days. If, someone qualified volunteered then I wouldn't have to go, but if no one volunteered then I would have to go right back to Thailand. Fortunately, a qualified person did volunteer and I didn't have to go back. But, the Chief reminded me that anytime he needed me I would have to go anywhere the USAF needed me. I served for 25 years and 10 years of my career was spent in Southeast Asia.

[@ddwchamp]

It's like the Airmen said, the USAF will send you where they need you the most. I remember back in 81, Airmen were filling out their dream sheets. Some of the airmen were stationed overseas and they requested stateside. There were around 570,00 Airmen in those days and growing. President Ronald Reagan took good care of the military and the quality of life during tenure. On another note, the type or mission of the base will determine how often one goes TDY.

[@garcianet1]

In 81, I requested Torrejon AFB in Madrid, Spain. I got it. The best overseas assignment in the universe. From there, I went to Aviano, another dread station, and turkey to die for them, Panama, and finally Homestead, Florida. I think I was the luckiest airman in the world

I would say to study the Air Force ranks, airman’s creed, Air Force song, learn marching movements before-hand, and learn how to role socks. Also be ready to clip a bunch of strings off of your clothing for locker inspections. Those are the things I wish I would of practiced on before going in. Also be prepared to have a leadership role such as element leader, guidon barrer, dorm chief, etc. if no one volunteers for them, sometimes the MTI randomly picks people. Lots of things you learn during BMT but in my experience it took awhile for some people to learn things in BMT because they didn’t do JROTC. Also be ready to take 2 minute showers with other dudes, and eat your meal very fast, and have your morning routine rushed pretty much everyday. My suggestion: wake up earlier to shave or shave the day before, or maybe shower at night and not twice a day. Everyday during BMT you do dust down and details which is just cleaning the bay and washing everything like the floor, toilets, sinks, etc. Be prepared to kneel on the ground a lot as well, really hurts your knees after awhile, especially on concrete or gravel rocks. You will get through it though if you come in partially physically fit, don’t be one of those people that haven’t worked out a day in their lives because that makes BMT suck so much more.

So if you want to be stationed stateside or Hawaii, I would say just put those and you have a pretty good chance of being stationed stateside.

Right before I went to MEPS someone took the Cyber Systems job so I was out of luck when it came time to pick. My recruiter told me to wait until October to see if more jobs pop up at the beginning of the fiscal year. None did but the guy who took the Cyber Systems job decided to switch to SF and my recruiter saved it for me since it was available.

[@laurenmendez8861]

When do you find out where your first duty/base it? During tech school or toward the end?

[@AirmanNick]

During tech school, typically like 30 days after you get to tech school.

[@NicoleBermz]

@@AirmanNickand there is where you can switch with someone else if they got the base you wanted? I really would like 1. TN 2. NC 3. SC. Anywhere in the southern states tbh. Every base needs security forces. Do you know if the base in TN is small?? Thx a ton

[@lyonanddebanderson4418]

Airman Nick "that's why it's called a dream sheet". It's to make you think you have a choice; but while you are in basic training, then going to your tech school you are constantly being evaluated. When you sign up for your AFSC of your choice does not mean that you will finish that way. I started as 81152 and did that that for several years, but was picked and sent to several other training centers for further training. You enlisted to serve your country like I did. I wanted to stay in the states and wound up in Turkey at age 19. Greatest gift USAF gave me made me was to grow up fast; I DO NOT REGRET THIS FOR A SECOND & WOULD DO IT AGAIN. (Buck)Sgt. Lyon L. Anderson (1987-1992). I stand tall and am proud that they built me into a 25 year retired police officer and Medic. I joined during non-conflict & got called back from leave for desert storm wound up a door gunner for PJ's. Do not be young and uninformed & please do not disgrace the USAF.

[@hibuddywazsup5578]

No you can’t. It’s all based on number of people needed at a base. Just put Korea and then your guaranteed any base

[@AirmanNick]

That also usually works but I know a girl that went to Korea and that didn’t go as planned for her.

What about trading orders at tech

[@AirmanNick]

Yeah that’s defiantly an option.

[@jeremyjayrivera]

I have a quick question: let’s say I want to stay stateside, so I fill out 8 AF bases in the states. Let’s say I really wanna go to Florida so I put a few Florida locations as my top 3 and the other 5 is like New Jersey or Texas etc, when they check my dream sheet, will they check to see if those Florida bases need me before checking my 5th, 6th options and so on? Like basically if my 1st option (Florida) needs me and my 5th option (Texas) needs me, will they honor my dream sheet and put me in Florida cus it’s in that order?

[@AirmanNick]

They may consider it because you selected so many locations of Florida before your 5th and so on options. But honestly if none of those bases need your job class and another base is in higher need of it they will send you there and not honor the dream sheet.

[@themfoosdidit]

is it true for the test u need to score a 50?

[@AirmanNick]

Not sure what you’re talking about?

[@themfoosdidit]

@@AirmanNick the ASVAB. i have this snooty recruiter and he told me he’d set me up for tomorrow but he didn’t bother to call. i’m ready for the ASVAB but at first he said 38 to pass. now a 50 he said.

[@AirmanNick]

@@themfoosdidit mine said the same thing. Told me that he would have no problem working with me as long as I got atleast above a 50 because then he could secure me a job quicker and would get me out quicker. Pretty much means they don’t want to waste their time unless they know they can ship you out.

[@themfoosdidit]

@@AirmanNick thanks man. it just makes the process quicker seems like. cheers

[@hughjassol2072]

My advise is, this is the military, don’t do a dream sheet. They are going to send you where they want, so why get your hopes up? Spending 4 years at a base you don’t like will be soul crushing if you got your hopes up.

[@StarJester81]

Im wanting to do security forces but i want to get stationed to England or Germany, do you know how good my chances are? I also dont mind Florida

[@hashmatalikozay7465]

Did you end up in any base that you wanted?
