I've been considering it with my wife, but here's the flip side to that: you need to be comfortable living there, possibly for a long time. The same reason that putting those areas down could increase your chances of getting in is the same reason that will keep you there for a longer period of time than you may like -- understaffed facilities are going to be slow to let people transfer out. I don't know if it's a one-in, one-out policy, but according to what some of the experienced controllers here say, you'll have a much tougher time (especially as a new controller) moving elsewhere anytime in the near future.On my geo prefs I put down puerto rico and south texas, mainly because i dont think people are applying there. I also put in the comments id go to guam, the virgin islands, or anywhere else they would have me. Is anyone else trying this approach?
I did the same exact thing, Texas as first choice and Puerto Rico as second. In the comment box I put the counties of Texas that had major airports and also wrote "Willing to work whatever is first available." We'll see if it works or not but you're the only other person I've seen who's listed PR on the GeoPref...On my geo prefs I put down puerto rico and south texas, mainly because i dont think people are applying there.

You are hilarious:laff:!well i just came back from living in south africa a year so i can live anywhere. Plus and i hope there not watching this, but i would go crazy in puerto rico, cheap rum, cheap cigs, cheap girls (very nice, how much?). Plus i could hit up all of the caribbean pretty easy. And south texas like near corpus and padre, i mean thats awesome down there, ive never seen hotter bar chicks than when me and my buddy used to go sailing down near port aransas (corpus area). Oh and in guam you get those japanese girls on holiday, virgin islands gets holiday girls too. I guess i just dont want alaska, i mean ill take anything they can give me, but guam, puerto rico, and the virgin islands, well im just gonna rock out with my you know what out.
:rotfl::rotfl:I was an ivory hunter, but i moved home so i could work in the dog pound and kill puppies for a living its much more rewarding. No just kidding i was going to school at the university of pretoria.
