for my first PCS who actually chooses?
I heard all about the "dream sheet" durin SOI and we say either East, West coast or Overseas. But i was wondering who actually makes the decision? my DI during bootcamp or SOI? or some person noone knows about does it for everybody? :nerd:

Everyone knows him....he's called the Monitor....and he will rule your existence the entire time you're in the Marine Corps. Monitors are in your occupational field and make assignments only within the occfield that they are assigned to.

To add to what the good MSgt said; monitors work out of HQMC in D.C.

its all based on the needs of the Corps, they'll send you where they want/need you. many have desired kaneohe, but got 29 palms instead.
i requested beaufort and was told i was getting it then was sent to Iwakuni lol. he basically sees you and then throws darts at the map to see where your going. lol

Beaufort/Iwakuni. Same-same. :D
Beaufort/Iwakuni. Same-same. :D
i know right well it all worked out i was going to beaufort to be closer to home and my gf at the time ended up going to iwakuni and getting a wife instead.
HQMC sends you where you are needed. The dream sheet is EXACTLY that. Never got stationed anywhere I requested on my dream sheets.
Hmmmmmmm.... a Beaufort or Iwakuni? Both sides of the same coin.... they both suck!

I believe this is the Marine that picks your duty station for you. Those silly guys at HQMC, his haircut is not even regulation.
