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.

when do i get the camaro

This was a lot of info packed into 12 minutes. Thank you for making this.

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.

Great! Straight forward, informative video for any branch, more or less. I'm Army, but this came up in my recommended. Subscribed! 😊

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.

I’m literally gonna be that one guy who writes every base in Japan Edit: well I got Japan just gotta finish tech school

Thank you for all the advice! It definitely helps ease the nerves of being stationed somewhere undesired.

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 :)

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.

Good Stuff bro!

Excellent vid. Great info. I have another son getting ready to sign up. This definitely helps. Thank you!

Your home looks so cozy 😊

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.

I like your style. Very chill, I'd say even professional. Well done, mate.

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.

I just came back from ramstein. Everybody put that on your dream sheet. Trust me you'll love it

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.

update, its 8 stateside, 8 overseas, you can change your list during tech school, and its very random what base you get

Awesome channel, keep up the good work!

looks like you hitting that gym and getting big lol love the videos keep them up !!

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!

So fun to see what our grandson sees. He works on F22’s! Just got back from Okinawa!

10:00 is key, thanks my dude!

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.

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.

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!

That was helpful, thanks man!

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!

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.

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

Hickam Air Force Base in Hawaii is the best!! Oahu is very beautiful!

I could be wrong but you update your list in VMPF.

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?

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!

I was fortunate..as a weather guy, every base in the world needed them..and every Army post as well.

Definitely helped me out dude

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.

I leave for basic in 7 days. can't wait!

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!

Do you think this is the same for a Marine Corp officer? Great video btw!

Solid. Thank you

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.

There's too many Marines in Okinawa

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...

Damn you need more subs

Okinawa!

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.

How often should you update your AMS! ❤️

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!

thanks for the info

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

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?

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 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 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

Once you find out where your going to be stationed, can you move your family, (dependents) to the base to housing on base?

Leave for basic next month, 2A6X6. A little nervous, a little excited. I just hope I get an overseas base :)

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.

When do you pick the base you go to? With your recruiter or after BMT?

+WildBlueYonder so do you have to be stationed at an airforce base specifically? or can you get stationed at a different branch base?

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.

Do you have to wait a certain amount of time to go to ams and update your dream sheet, and get transferred?

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?

I can guarantee you'll get the base you want: Join the Guard or Reserves.

Thank you 😊

Aa someone who lives in Maryland...we ain’t lit out here.😂

Currently at Sheppard for AGE just found out Im going to Minot... damn it what are the odds someone would want to trade?? lol

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?

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?

If I join security forces can I choose where I wanna be and have a more likely chance of going there

My husband is stationed at BAFB and we want to go to AVAIONA , any tips 🤷🏾‍♀️

I heard we have the Former Axis Powers from WWII as choices to be stationed.

I see that wav brush, tryna get your waves on spin lmao.

How can I see where my job gets stationed like if that job is available there or not

So on my wish list if I put Grand Forks AFB as my no.1 do you think I will get it?

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!!

You can also apply for an assignment in AMS my man you can see what's available & literally apply.

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.

What are the chances of being sent overseas? Is it quite common or not really?

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

Great video! Great information!

Where would I find this "list" you mentioned? Or is it not available for the public?

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?

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

Is it a different process for officers?

Do you have to have a physical before you go to your overseas station?

When Are the AMS and Equal lists refreshed?

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.

As a high school student where can I check what jobs can I do at a base?

when are you going to the Airforce Academy?

Can you do the video about foreigners at BMT experience

notification squad🔥🔥

if i put hawaii and hickam as well as korea and osan would i have less of a chance of getting orders since theres two on there ?

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

I’m trying to go to Aviano! What’s the best MOS?

Is public affairs/ journalist at everybase? I would assume so but i want to be sure
