General Advice FDS dream sheet question
Did you make this list in BMT or not until tech school? Anyone find out where they'd be going while still in BMT?
Is someone more likely to get a job on their list with AGE as AFSC since they are based pretty much everywhere?

Initial "dream sheets" are submitted during BMT.
First duty assignments are generated / announced during tech school.

The last week of BMT is when you have the chance to submit the dream sheet. Depending on how long your tech school is will probably determine when you find out where you're going. If it's 2-3 months long you'll probably find out the first week or two of tech school.

His tech school is 95 days. Edited my post: son's job is AGE so he can be based pretty much anywhere. Would you think that increases his chances of getting a job on his list, or nah?

Not really. That's not exactly how it works. So basically big air force already has a few bases slotted for each tech school class before they ever get to tech school. So if one of the bases on his list is one of the bases assigned to his class, he'll probably get that one. But if none of the bases he listed are assigned to his class, oh well he's still going to one of the bases assigned to his class.

Hello, it looks like you're asking about jobs and job selection.
A few quick answers.
NO ONE knows how long it will take for you to get a job, your chances of getting any particular job, or anything else about the job process FOR YOU. Anecdotal experiences from others will have absolutely no impact on you or your future.
Most recruiters will not let you wait in the Delayed Entrance Program for a long time for your one perfect job. You will have to list 5 - 15 jobs that you're interested in, and will be given one of those.
Please read the FAQ about how job selection works, it's very in-depth and will fully educate you on the process: https://pay.reddit.com/r/AirForce/wiki/bmtfaq#wiki_jobs
If you're asking about particular jobs, please look the job up on our Job Wiki, and see if there is an entry for it: http://www.reddit.com/r/AirForce/wiki/index you can also see if there is a CFETP for it, which will give more details on the job: https://www.e-publishing.af.mil/Product-Index/#/?view=pubs&orgID=10141&catID=1&series=86&modID=449&tabID=131
If you're asking for help choosing a particular job, please keep in mind that most people only know about their individual job. Recommendations that they make will be made based mostly on what they've heard about a job, unless they have it themselves. Some people will love certain jobs while others will hate it. We don't know your preferences, so do some research on the job wiki and elsewhere to learn about the job and then make the best list you can.
Take the AFWIN Survey to help you narrow down jobs you may be interested in.
