I&#39;m in the maryland/virginia area and honestly would prefer to stay in it closer to family and friends. Am I likely to get preference, and I guess a secondary question of does the fact I hail from this region affect preference?

I guess that must be a recruiter to recruiter variable.<br /><br />However, knowing how the Army operates, if you want to stay local to where you are, you will be sent to the farthest place possible from your home. Every time I asked to be sent back to the East Coast, I got sent further west, until I returned from Korea and got it in writing.
