Depending which day of the month you start training, you may find yourself bidding almost right away. If you luck out and get your choice great. If not, you will have a couple more opportunities to bid again before training is over.
Since it is a vacancy bid, it starts at the top of seniority list and moves down, and this can create secondary vacancies that were not part of the original bid.
First time around you and your classmates will get whatever is leftover as you are the last dogs at the bowl, but most bases are possible before training is over or shortly after.
