Yes, it's totally possible.
Whether you qualify for that or not, you'll find out when you meet your guidance counselor at the MEPS.

Its pretty rare and dependent on the MOS. Not every job will have that option, if any at all. All incentives, including first assignment, are tied to specific jobs. If a duty station is more important to you than the job, then ask the MEPS counselor if there are any jobs with a guaranteed assignment that you are qualified for. Most likely there will be zero, but never hurts to ask.

Not really likely for someone coming off the streets. When you reenlist you could get Station of choice.

The only Non prior service getting station of choice right now are the “ Army Civilian Aquired Skills “ program applicants ( ACASP ). if you don’t meet the criteria for said program then you won’t get it in your contract.

I've been on recruiting duty for a little over 2 years now and I have never seen this happen.
