Best thing to do is first check out where you will be able to go, if you are given a choice go with your gut feeling.

Your first, second and third choices are Ft. Bragg, Ft. Bragg and Fr. Bragg. The first two choices do not count.

You got a good 85% chance you are heading to Fort Bragg, NC since that’s where most of the Army’s Airborne units are located. Although there is a solid 15% chance you go somewhere else, such as Alaska. Best case scenario you get orders to a SF Group, since their support must be ABN qualified. If that happens you could head to Colorado, Florida, Kentucky, and a whole bunch of other spots.

You'll go to Fort Bragg to start out. That's where most of them are. Down the road you could also go to Germany, Italy and Alaska. If you have a secret clearance and a 100 GT score, you could also go to JBLM, Okinawa, Fort Carson, Eglin AFB, and Fort Campbell.
Also, lots more of Bragg.

You can go anywhere as an 88M, but if you want to jump out of a perfectly good plane than Bragg will be your best bet.

Well you know the Army, they just couldn't get the truck to fly so that I could jump out. I kept hitting the ground before the parachute to deploy. I am not airborne, I was just assigned there. I am not even air assault either.
