I've known people who've asked for CC because they despise P-cola, some ask to stay because they love it. Some friends who've come back for Helos from CC thank God they did and some hate life because they didn't get Props or K-rock only because they had to come back here. Which locale is better it all up to you. As for getting which one, when I was in API (and according to the guys coming straight out of it) put down what you want and 90% of the time you'll get it. Keeping you here saves them money and other people will always ask for CC and the AF bases. The gouge about CC giving out better NSS's (ie: "Dude, everyone in Corpus get's jets!!!") never seems to die and there are always people wanting the T-6 (Moody) or the Tweet (2 seat, twin-engine jet @ Vance) and the AF method as well. Yes, I've heard people actually say that! Stud's I've met who've come back from the AF said yeah, it sucked, but they learned a lot, made a lot of friends (think reality show with flight suits) and feel better prepared and that they don't know why the Navy doesn't do things their way. Ask for what you want, you'll probably get it. If not you won't care a month later, trust me. You'll be too busy.
