I'm currently at Bragg. Option 4 when I enlisted was a contract gaurenteeing airborne school as long as you met all the criteria. Option 40 was RASP. You'll have to verify if this still holds true.
I can tell you all three BCT's at Bragg are extremely short on skill level 1 12B. However so is Alaska, and Italy. My understanding is the Army has always had a hard time retaining 12B but they are now having a hard time recruiting 12B and getting them to go airborne. If you are indeed contracted to go to airborne school, I can guarantee you, you wont be going to Campbell. 101st is no longer a unit on active jump status. More than likely you'll end up at Bragg, but possibly Italy or Alaska. That's just based on numbers and the odds. Italy and Alaska have 1 BCT of paratroopers to fill, Bragg has 3. You're 3 times more likely to go to Bragg.

Depends if you have airborne in your contract, if you do then bragg or campbell is most likely where you will end up. If not, then its a dice roll.

I'm 99.9% sure you'll end up at Fort Bragg. Eventually, you'll probably be sent to Fort Richardson just outside of Anchorage AK. Both places are in dire need of Combat Engineers. I spent time in both places and eventually came back to Bragg.
