Login to DECS in your personal mode, when you use the BSIP login.
Hit 3* This page shows your current status, next status (if any) your displacement preferences and vacancy preferences. These last two are the ones you want to focus on. You want DFW to be the first line under both displacement and vacancy.
So here's what you do. First, enter: 3P/DFW/FO/EMJ/D
This is your vacancy preference. Move it to your #1 slot by typing: 3P/MOVE # TO # example: 3P/MOVE 2 to 1
Now put in the Displacement preference: 3D/DFW/FO/EMJ/D
Move it to number 1 just like you did before, except it will look like this: 3D/MOVE # TO #
That's it. You're set.
