My son is in the Air Force has been permenantly stationed in England for the past year with two more years to go. He has been deployed to Saudi A. and returned to England. He enjoys deployment but dislikes the England base. He would like to get a different permanent base in the states but no one on his current base will tell him what he needs to do. He has told them he would not mind being deployed again but would rather do it from the US instead of England. Does anyone know what or who he has to contact to accomplish this?

He MUST search and volunteer on the EQUAL listing. AFPC puts out a list with all of the openings at every base for every career field. He needs to be proactive to get what he wants. He should also go to his orderly room to update his dream sheet (he really should have done that, as soon as he got to England). He should also apply for Base Of Preference. There is a career counselor somewhere on his base (they can usually be found at the MPF)... he needs to find that person and get all the info he can.
btw this won't get him out of England early, just helps with his next assignment. in order to leave early, he's gonna have to marry someone with orders to a stateside base and apply for joint spouse.

"most likely be".... meaning you have not even finished training..... After 30 years in the Army.....I would say your chances of being stationed at ANY Air Force Base is "ZERO"..... In rare specialized cases Army personnel are assigned to an Air Force Base.....but they are usually senior NCO's or Officers..... the Air Force has it's own Human Resource Information System Management Specialists.....they do not need the Army's I am guessing you want to be "close to home"..... probably wont happen either.....and as far as what you put on your "dream sheet"..... the Army will try to give you your choice of duty station..... but it is highly unlikely, especially if you put an AF bases.....you will get them The military uses you when and where they need you......with your MOS you could end up anywhere EDIT.... You can believe these two people who say get it on the contract..... GOOD LUCK....

weeeelll, he COULD do a duty swap, but most times, those are on your own dime, meaning the military wouldn't pay to move him to the new base.
bsides, the command has to agree to let him go.. and they may not want to do that for whatever reason. plus, there has to be a need for him at another location..
It really isn't as easy as you would think. he may just have to suck it up and deal.
