A few pages back someone told us new guys the DECS entry for a bid preference change. I entered the 3P and 3D entry, but I keep getting the same message, "No standing bid list changes allowed at this time." I was told that the bid preference could be entered while still in training. I'm trying to put in my transfer from ORD to DFW so my commute from OKC won't be as bad. Does it need to be entered when the bid period is open or can it be entered at anytime?

Thanks
