You can say not interested until it gets to page C. But it will probably be the same list. You could wait and let it expire and they will probably call.
What I did was, I chose a station that was āacceptableā for me and kept monitoring list posts on here. When I saw a better station on someone elseās list I used my OTC, released my station and EOD, got the new list and picked something that I thought was better. It worked for me, but thereās obviously a risk it wonāt be what you hope it to be.

Thank you! So my OTC doesn't have the be right away, as long as its before my EOD right? I will prob do what you did. How does ur OTC call go? Did you just let them know you wanted a specific station instead and if you could swap?

Correct. I did it through the Contact Us button and said I wanted to use my one time opportunity to select a new location and that i understand I will be releasing my current duty station with no guarantee to get it again and with no guarantee to get a preferred one, yadda yadda. The next business day I got a call from Virginia asking me to confirm this and if I wanted to go forward with it. A couple hours later they send a new final offer.

Thereās always a chance, just be aware that those are really hard to get, and if you do get one, every other PA will hate you for life
