<p>The popularity of a base should not be a priority in the selection thereof. Due to weather, aircraft availability, and a few other factors, backlogs occur. Your goal should be to get through the traning command as quickly as possible and get out into an operational squadron. Therefore, during training, when a move occurs, ask where you will fly the soonest. In the Navy, getting to Pensacola in the first available class and taking advantage of all moves, one can easily cut six months, perhaps more, off their training time. I cannot imagine that it would not be the same for the AF and Army.</p>
