If you want the job you might have to be a little more lexible than that. Slice can probably answer better, but I have a friend who made the cut for an interview and wanted Jacksonville but they are interviewing/hiring into that base right now and offered him another base (Homestead/Miami) that he didn't want so for now he has turned then down. Maybe he will read this thread and give some more information, but what I am trying to get across is that it doesn't seem to be just your choice of base - but what I know as "needs of the service" when it comes to base selection.
