Having an input on PCSing

Certainly. I'm stuck in a situation where my branch manager, despite numerous phone calls and e-mails, will only give me the options of Drum or Bliss when I leave Korea. He is very curt, and never gives full explanations on why I can't go back to Carson (I know it's a highly requested duty station). Having already been to Drum, and Bliss having zero job opportunities for my wife, my hands are pretty much tied. If we could sustain a nice dialogue, at least maybe then I wouldn't be so pissy about the matter.

I agree that they should at least explain to you why you can't go to a place or have to go somewhere. I called our functional (AF version of Branch Manager) last year to find out why I wasn't getting orders anywhere after having been at my base for 11 years. I was told it was because I hadn't updated my dream sheet in years. No crap that's because the list of bases I wanted to go if I was leaving where I was hadn't changed in all those years. She was a bi+ch about it too on the phone. Added one base after that and got a 4 year assignment to Japan.

I was in my first PCS for six years and nine months.  I didn't think I was going to like it but actually liked the base,  especially in the weather field.
