What is it like to be stationed at Eglin AFB as a 13F?

I am in my window to reup as a E5(p) and was asking around about best places to PCS to so I can get out of Bragg. One of my buddies heavily recommended Eglin AFB as a great place to go, so I was wondering if anybody had any info or insight into Eglin?

The only 13F slots in USASOC are for SFC and above. Senior enlisted have to submit an application through the USASOC slating board.

TLDR, a 13F cannot reenlist for Eglin. If your Career Counselor says they'll send the request anyway, they have no idea what they're talking about and HRC will counter offer Korea

I spend a good portion of my career assigned to non-standard post/bases. I found nit very rewarding and career enhancing. Good luck.

Those are E7 and above positions. You’ll need a a bunch of schools for that position to be relevant for you anyway so try and grab those before you make SFC. JFO, JFC, JOFEC, Battle Staff etc. best of luck
