How to Get Stationed Where YOU Want

- For Air Force Candidates, Active Airmen, and Tech Schoolers!
The AMS and EQUAL lists are pretty much the key to going where you want to go. In this video, I explain everything I know personally about getting orders. Enjoy!
Edit: You can update your dream sheet on VMPF (Virtual Military Personnel Flight) on the Portal, not on AMS. However everything else is the same.
Hello, I am not in the air force yet but where do you go to see ams? Or portal? Or is that not viewable until after I join?
After you join. I believe it has to be accessed from a government computer.
How can i get in touch with you regularly? I want to join but have questions you might be able to answer me better
They’re switching it up cause your catching on😂🤣
when do i get the camaro
Lord Donzo 😂😂😂😂😂😂
EricsNation 😂😂😂😂😂
lmfaoooo
update? lmao i have the same plans to get a camaro 😂😂😂
What's that's
This was a lot of info packed into 12 minutes. Thank you for making this.
Thank you for all the advice! It definitely helps ease the nerves of being stationed somewhere undesired.
Great! Straight forward, informative video for any branch, more or less. I'm Army, but this came up in my recommended. Subscribed! 😊
My husband and I are stationed at Minot right now. It was the last place either of us wanted to be, but after living here for a year it isn't as bad as people say. The cold sucks, so I understand why people hate it here if they have to work outside. The people make the base amazing though. The leadership here seems to actually care about you and if you are willing to put in the effort they will help you with whatever goals you might have. If you have long-term goals for the Air Force, Minot is a great place to develop and get the support you need. If you are just in for your 4 years, then yeah, you will probably struggle to find things to like about Minot.
Laugh And Reload im joining the airforce with my husband soon, how did you guys get stationed together?
The 'Joke' about Minot AFB, all around the Air Force is.... "If you want to get Minot, just stand still long enough, because Minot 'sucks'..."... and there's a woman behind every tree.. just there are no trees around there.
When you marry another service member the Air Force 'tries' to accommodate you both, but Air Force needs come FIRST. Understand, you severely limit both of your careers, by putting this request/demand on the Air Force.... don't plan of being stationed overseas, nor re-enlisting... The Air Force loves single guys. The Air Force's mission is FIRST, shipping you and your spouse all over the world 'together' is not high on their list.
I wish my son had seen your vids before he shipped out this past Tuesday. You are extremely well spoken, btw and a great orator. Nice work WBY. I'll definitely pass much of the information you have shared in your vids on to my airman.
My son is looking to join. I love your videos. They are positive but REAL!!!!! OMG!!! THANK YOU!!!😘😘😘 I joined the Navy 15 years ago and did NOT have YOU TUBE or Google. A hot mess. Man you are a God send. THANKS.
Great videos Matt, best of wishes at the USAFA!!!! You inspire me to strive for it! I'm shipping out to Basic training in 15 days and your videos are the best :)
Your home looks so cozy 😊
Excellent vid. Great info. I have another son getting ready to sign up. This definitely helps. Thank you!
I like your style. Very chill, I'd say even professional. Well done, mate.
If you receive orders to Korea, you have to apply for your follow-on within a certain amount of time.If not, you will when you arrive you will have to wait for the overseas listing that coincides with your DEROS. However, if you KAIP you give up the option to apply for a follow-on.
So fun to see what our grandson sees. He works on F22’s! Just got back from Okinawa!
Good Stuff bro!
BullyJuice hey bully juice!
BullyJuice I just started watching your content, awesome job.
collab🤔🤔
Y’all need to collaborate on stuff of those challenges BullyJuice been doin
Ayeee
Completely fill out your list of 8 stateside and 8 overseas! That's the only reason how I got to go overseas, and I love it.
Mike Halve You had to fill out the 8 stateside options to go overseas?
i just wanna stay stateside im not interested in overseas
I put worldwide and got mildenhall UK
Once you’re overseas try and stay overseas. Stateside blows.
During basic, I wrote on my dream sheet that I wanted to go anywhere in the South. I was sent to South Dakota (Ellsworth)! That was back in 1969!
Hahaha
lol
update, its 8 stateside, 8 overseas, you can change your list during tech school, and its very random what base you get
I was fortunate..as a weather guy, every base in the world needed them..and every Army post as well.
I’m literally gonna be that one guy who writes every base in Japan
Edit: well I got Japan just gotta finish tech school
Same xd
Same

Not sure if this really works but my system for dream sheets is to list only one base. In basic the only desirable base available was Ramstein (Germany) and I said to myself "if I don't get Germany I don't care where I go" So that's all I put down. To my surprise I got it. Then 2 years later I looked at my list and said "If I don't get Yakota (Japan) I don't care where I go" and that's all I put down....
I got Yakota.
Ya it doesn't normally work that way and I heard that once you get overseas it is easier to stay overseas. Not sure if that is true but just a thought. I been stuck at whiteman afb, mo for 5 years active duty and got stuck here in the reserves for 3 years because of a child custody thing so hoping I get to leave here when I go active duty again in a couple months
Which one did you like better , looking to go active soon coming from guard/reserve
Shaun Wheldon hey I live by there !!
God loves you in a special type of way bruh😂🤣😭
Update, i finished my time in Japan and am going back to Ramstein using the same one base system again 😂
I taught technical training for almost 8 years. We gave the top three academics in each class first choice on assignments. You work hard, the Air Force will reward you.
Dennis Svitak that’s awesome .. so when we go to tech school study and pass and etc ❤️❤️❤️👍👍
I taught a mandatory 7-level school, Weather Technician (forecasters). These were almost exclusively Sgt's, or SSgt's, or TSgt cross-trainees. Fire Departments of cop shops don't need, or want, a bunch of mid level NCO's. So...Being an Honor Graduate from THE most difficult tech training school in the Air Force was your golden ticket to a great, next assignment, generally for the next 3-6 years, BUT..it also became a permanent part of your military record. Not critical when you are a one-striper, but crucial when your records go in front a board for E-8. It used to amaze me when I saw students, NCO's, not working hard on their studies or chart analysis....I'm like, DUDE...wtf are you doing?
Thats what i heard too an also in corpsman A school too btw
I worked assignments at AFPC...The Trailer Park...yes there are people who look and double check every assignment that gets loaded...having short tours will put you in a higher probability of getting your top choices
10:00 is key, thanks my dude!
My roommate in tech school got Minot. He was trying to sell it for like $500! Of course no one wanted it. I did end up swapping like you mentioned here. I had gotten Andrews (MD) and swapped and went to Keesler (MS). It wasn’t a crazy process from what I can recall (this was 1993/94). I eventually did get orders to Kunsan. It was a little different then. They gave you a list of bases that had openings and you picked Top 3 I think. I got my second choice to Travis (CA). First choice was Eglin (FL). Things have changed a little since then. Best of luck to everyone!
looks like you hitting that gym and getting big lol love the videos keep them up !!
I just came back from ramstein. Everybody put that on your dream sheet. Trust me you'll love it
Jordan Dotson That's in Germany 🇧🇪, right.
Kaylin Small yeah south west germany, but that's a Belgian flag lmao
Loved Germany I was stationed there with the army. My sister is air force she is trying to get Italy. My other army brother hasn’t been over seas yet poor guy lol.
@@michaelsmith2833 🤦🏾😂
If you’re security forces, you will hate your life.
Awesome channel, keep up the good work!
I listed 5 stateside bases, and NONE for overseas. Guess what, OVERSEAS base. I traded in Tech School for Vandenberg AFB with a chic that wanted overseas. Worked out.
Yes It's Me i hope i get stateside 😤😤😤
How can you trade bases?
How come you didn't want to go overseas but didn't care where you were placed stateside?
Overseas is the way to go man.
@@kwbaker28 that was 20 years ago man lol.
Hi WildBlue... I just completed BMT. I survived the Texas heat. I'm now in my first week of in processing at Tech School. Missed your videos alot!
EDENTROPIC what is your job?
I had a friend tell me that on your dream sheet to put down all the places and areas that you do not want to go and for some reason you will not be assigned there, but the next time when you renew your sheet after you put some time in, to go ahead and put all your desired locations. He received the advice from someone else and He said it worked. I should mention He is in the Army but I don't think that the deployment process is that much different across the branches. I'm considering the AF Reserve so it's not the same for me but I'd love to know if it really works.
Hickam Air Force Base in Hawaii is the best!! Oahu is very beautiful!
I could be wrong but you update your list in VMPF.
When I was given my first duty station, the dream sheet from basic was not used in anyway whatsoever. When I was in tech school an individual from the same career field as us worked at the group, and was in charge of receiving and giving orders to airmen. He came in, told us what bases we could go, what aircraft we can fly on, and different crew positions we could be. We created a new dream sheet, and two weeks later he came back with candy and chicken nuggets and told us our orders one by one and brought in any instructors who went there so we could ask them any questions. We all got the base of our choice, even though a lot of them had over 100% manning, so I think he really hooked us up. Apparently this is normal for aircrew, when talking to boom operators they said the same thing happened for the most part.
That was helpful, thanks man!
You gotta play the AMS game right. Started off in Washington, went to Ramstein for 8 years, on a short tour in Turkey now and in 2 months time I’ll be back in Germany, Spangdahlem this time. Let’s go!
Son is 3D131. IT . We're from Whidbey Island, Oak Harbor, North of Seattle. He's in WOT3.
how did you play the ams?
I am interested in becoming an Airman in 3d0x2 or 3d0x3 (I have background in IT/Computer Science), and according to what I heard, my base selection lists are about 90-95% of all AFB's, as well as a handful of base/facilities of other branches for 3d0x3. As a resident of California, I would be interested in being stationed in a California base (hopefully Beale, Travis, Vandenberg, or Edwards).
The whole "follow-on" program is also applicable with Turkey, just FYI.
Stationed there now. Can’t wait to leave.
@@kwbaker28 wow really doing what job? Also was turkey your top one?
Black Berry I’m aircraft mx, 2A671C. Turkey was my top choice so I would have a shot at staying overseas with a follow on. I left yesterday, now in Germany again. Went from Wa for 5 years to Ramstein for 8, Turkey for 1, now Spangdahlem for another 4. Play the AMS game.
Very insightful. Thanks you
I like your videos about the asvab and they are helping, but do you any suggestions of youtubers for the army?
Son is 3D131. IT . He's in WOT3, and w/ Covid, called me and wanted to know which bases had newest dorms, stateside. Sure he did some research on his own prior to leaving, but wants to make sure he's informed.. i hope he's onto VMPF and AMS etc...
DD Form 392, Assignment Preference Listing, did NOT get wiped clean after each assignment. I kept the same one for 20 years..and each year, I had higher and higher priority on my choice.
I leave for basic in 7 days. can't wait!
How did it go
@@jaquaveonandress649 he died
Oh he ded
So how often can you move bases or put in a request? I know my son would like to see other places but I also think it would be nice for him to come back home near the time he plans to get out so he can apply to become a Police Officer...Yes he is going into AF as SF...we live in Hawaii...
Mah boi's got some new ice
Definitely helped me out dude
I heard u can pick ur base of choice after a certain amount of time in. I signed for 6 yrs. On my 3yr and 11month date I’m eligible to switch to a base of my choice.
A BOP is possible, yes. Harder when you aren’t a first term Airman anymore though.
Question! Can you go into AMS as soon as you get to tech school and change things before you get your first initial orders? So you can manipulate the system that way because you’ll be able to see where they actually need you? I’m also concerned after hearing that some people realized after receiving orders that their dream sheet was lost or an “error in the system turned it blank” and definitely don’t want that happening to me!
Will they website be given out to the new airman when they are finished with bmt? This is a good video to know! I am a Germany born army brat and I love to travel! So I would want to put places that I so miss you know! This is good info to know!
Lucky😭my mom almost joined the military when she immigrated here. I would’ve loved to be born outside of the states or even as a military kid
I paid a guy a case of beer to get an assignment out of my first base back in the day. Dream sheet worked later in my career but not at first.
I had 8 PCS' in 20 years and 8 days. Including 4 years at Clark AB and 4 years at Osan AB. Could not get off of Hill AFB. Guess what? My son got orders to Hill so i had to go back and visit. He PCS out of there thou. He's at Vance AFB looking to go overseas in a year or 2. I hope he goes to Japan. He tells me it's easier for officers to pick where they can go.
I’m planning on joining the Air Force and doing personnel. I want to stay as close as possible to home (Miami, FL). So I would go to basic and after basic when I start tech that’s when I would update my preferred bases? Also working personnel, what are the chances that I do get those bases if anyone with experience can answer this for me. I’m nervous, I’ve grown up with such a big family, a little brother that looks up to me and is about start high school. I want to be as close to my family as possible so I don’t miss any moments. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.
Quick question, i wana do Client Systems in the AF but my recruiter keeps pushing mechanical, i am thinking about it because i didnt score high enough on Electrical so whats the best thing to do?
You can also apply for an assignment in AMS my man you can see what's available & literally apply.
Facts.
Solid. Thank you
I live in Minnesota and am interested in going to Minot but I’m wondering if there’s a way to figure out what jobs are there
Leave for basic next month, 2A6X6. A little nervous, a little excited. I just hope I get an overseas base :)
Good luck :)
@@antman9252 thank you! :)
Once you find out where your going to be stationed, can you move your family, (dependents) to the base to housing on base?
How often should you update your AMS! ❤️
What are these bases like (Mountain biking, night life), and can you have your stuff in the states (in a storage unit) shipped to you (how long does it take)?
1. SPANGDAHLEM AB Trier, Germany.
2. RAMSTEIN AB Landstuhl, Germany.
3. AVIANO AB Aviano, Italy.
Advice welcome (: Thank you!!
If I were to get stationed in South Korea like what you're saying, how long would I have to wait for my follow on? Are airmen able to change their stations halfway through their contract or something like that?
Hey I’m leaving for basic on April 21st and I’m trying to go in as a tactical maintainer of an F-16 do you know What bases have that job in Texas?
+WildBlueYonder so do you have to be stationed at an airforce base specifically? or can you get stationed at a different branch base?
Do you think this is the same for a Marine Corp officer? Great video btw!
There's too many Marines in Okinawa
@Alaskan Whiskey just throw some crayons and run
@@isaactheguy79 cans of monster if Army
When do you pick the base you go to? With your recruiter or after BMT?
I heard we have the Former Axis Powers from WWII as choices to be stationed.
I would like to go to the Air Force for special forces but I don't want to go overseas. I'm from New Jersey and I would like to be placed somewhere down south on the east coast. Do you think this is possible if I list all Southern locations?
My husband is stationed at BAFB and we want to go to AVAIONA , any tips 🤷🏾♀️
Do you have to wait a certain amount of time to go to ams and update your dream sheet, and get transferred?
So on my wish list if I put Grand Forks AFB as my no.1 do you think I will get it?
Aa someone who lives in Maryland...we ain’t lit out here.😂
Damn you need more subs
Is it true you can get your base preference after 3 yrs 11 months if you signed for six yrs? My grandson at Minot one yr. BTW, your videos are informative and enjoyable.
How can I see where my job gets stationed like if that job is available there or not
thanks for the info
Currently at Sheppard for AGE just found out Im going to Minot... damn it what are the odds someone would want to trade?? lol
Okinawa!
Where would I find this "list" you mentioned? Or is it not available for the public?
Btw a tip idk if this also is in the air force but in the navy( i know this cause of nick he is utuber an corpsman) but anyways he said" if you hard extreamly hard an be top in your class then you get to pick an they will assign you will get what base you actually want" but i think you havw to be like in the top 3 or 5 but either way if you work your ass you will get the base you want
If I join security forces can I choose where I wanna be and have a more likely chance of going there
I’m new to the army, already Mos qualified and heading to my first real unit (in ASIA) in few days. I have a girlfriend who is in another base(located inside U.S.) and we want a future together but Uncle Sam has us working in our careers. Any advice?
I want to go to Elgin Air Force base Florida, I was born and live half my life there and I moved 9 years ago. I want to go back.
What are the chances of being sent overseas? Is it quite common or not really?
I see that wav brush, tryna get your waves on spin lmao.
Jay Premier, my husband has the same brush. Funny it's the first thing I noticed.
I knew somebody would peep that lmao
WildBlueYonder Too bad its all getting cut off in a week or two😂😂. Good luck at BCT!
Haha. Somebody tryna get profit them Academy females😎
got the exact same one lmao
Iam between got o Air Force or army, which one in your opinion is the easiest to go to japan? I am willing to go to Okinawa. If not happen then Tokyo area. I lived in japan before as civilian and I I loved, is the safest country to Live in my opinion
Can anyone lead me to where I can find jobs by base? Seeing what jobs are there at particular bases to get a preview of the possibilities.
When Are the AMS and Equal lists refreshed?
Thank you 😊
Is public affairs/ journalist at everybase? I would assume so but i want to be sure
Can you do the video about foreigners at BMT experience
Do you have to have a physical before you go to your overseas station?
I’m trying to go to Aviano! What’s the best MOS?
As a high school student where can I check what jobs can I do at a base?
I can guarantee you'll get the base you want:
Join the Guard or Reserves.
I want to go overseas
Lmaoo trueee
Coast Guard or National Guard?
Superdarkwater Comics Air Guard
@@777superlightwater both I guess
Yo is south korea easy to get assignment to? Im about to enlist next month or January and was thinking kunsan as my number 1 pick. going for security forces
What are the bases in England and Alaska..? Do you know any in Spain 🇪🇸
Is it a different process for officers?
Hey Wild Blue Yonder, I'm going to apply for the Academy and ROTC at local universities in Virginia. I want to know how does the base process work for New Officers (Second Lieutenants) work? Does the Air Force needs more Airmen in Francophone countries because I would love to visit Camp Lemonnier in Djibouti.
Andrew Cawley Depends on what the air force needs at the time. But we do operate in Francophone areas (or at least I know we used to in Djibouti)
when are you going to the Airforce Academy?
