I don't want to get in a square corner or play the you fibbed game. Do they only care when they offer you an assignment. If so, could that be denied and you just stay in the pool till MEM or something conus comes up? I guess I don't understand the event flow of getting an assignment.
This is a great job, but there are other great jobs out there. Apply everywhere and take the first gig you get. If you say you will take an FDA assignment I would take an FDA assignment. The assignment process is simple. The FDA people are hired into a class and know their assignment when they walk in the door. Everyone else finds out after they show up. But you are sweating the small stuff, getting hired is the hard part were you spend your 1st couple of years always seems to work out after that.
