In the army, what are your chances of getting the base you want?

It will depend on his MOS, the need and availibiltiy for his MOS at the places he wants.  Most first termers get One year Unacompanied billets to places like Korea first, regardless.

The only base close to you would be Fort Leonard Wood, but when I was in Montana years ago (they had no base close to me) I got our ID cards made at the local Army Reserve unit. You should be able to locate one in your area in a phone directory or through a local recruiter. Good luck!

The best web site that tells you what the troops want is AnySoldier.  There, the troops themselves leave messages and wish lists.  Some want penpals, some need care packages for themselves or for their units.  I highly recommend it because you know exactly what they want and who it's going to.  It will give you their address and the items will go directly to them, not some agency to spread them around.  This site is dedicated to men and women in all branches of the military.\n\nThanks for your willingness to support our troops!!\n\n--Army wife of 18 years and 3 deployments

recruiters will do anything to help you get you enlisted. give them a call, they're very helpful. Probably the nicest people you'll encounter while being in the service.

Most bases are converting to an Encrypted Satellite system (which should be free to all DoD employees, Military & Contracted)  It would be best not to buy a card pre-deployment, but to wait until you arrive at your destination and find out what the circumstances are.  \n\nIf you do end up in an area that takes calling cards, there will be no shortage of ones to purchase on-base.

yes they have a certain amount of people they have to get in. It depends on location and station. They get their numbers from the recruing company an they get them from the brigade. If a station falls short it get rolled over to the next month or to another station. This means for my husband who is a station commander a whole lot of work hours. He usually goes to work 0600hours and comes back home around 2100hours. Sometimes they get a dep loss and they get counted against the current months number of recruits.\nBe advised that my husband cares a lot about his deps. He always gets the highest remarks about how good he treats them, how he makes sure they get the job they want. They know that they can call him in an emergency even 0300hours.

It's pretty easy to get your question answered by calling an Army or Air Force recruiter.

If you have the desire, then you have what it takes.  Don't be scared by the taking orders because you'll learn that you have a choice.  You'll pick up on what's involved in advancement and how you can move through the ranks and get ahead of those who may actually be lame.  I'm not talking about moving up the ranks by doing indecent acts, but just applying yourself and displaying the army values, Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selfless service, Honor, Integrity, and Personal courage.  If you incorporate these values, you'll be ahead of the game and you'll do fine.  Excel in every aspect that you can, score a 300 or above on the physical fitness test, achieve an expert marksman badge, complete correspondence courses and take college courses.  About an earlier comment, tuition reimbursment isn't a bonus, the military already pays 100% of your tuition while you're on active duty.  You just have to pay  for the books.  So take advantage of that program.  \n\nThe military isn't about taking orders.  It's about working as a team to accomplish your mission.  It's about following the instructions and guidance from your leaders.  Yes, you'll have some very bad leaders and at that point, you can stand up and suggest alternatives and work the chain of command to your advantage.  There are the proper ways to do things and then there's the defiant way to do things, which will only land you in trouble and eventually out the door.\n\nOh, it's a two mile run by the way.  See if a recruiter could give you a APFT card and check the score chart.  Work on reaching the max amount of push ups, sit ups and two mile run.  This will help in the long run, for a promotion to E-5.  I earned E-5 in less than three years and was barely 21 when I was leading soldiers.

I was Army for several years and enjoyed it...but my cousin was Navy and enjoyed it as well.  So, it is just a matter of personal choice.
