Military Chatter

 I noticed in Air Force news....they are looking at some way to SAVE money, and the topic of frequent transfers/PCS's...came up.

If you talk to any NCO/officer....at the 24th year point....most all will admit that the 10 transfers/assignments....were a pain in the ass. 

So the discussion going on?  They want to find some way to lengthen your time at  bases.  They aren't saying five or six year assignment, but it's pretty much accepted that this idea will be accepted in some way.

After basic, and tech-school....over a 22-year period....I moved eight times (the last move consumed five years).  To be honest....if you asked me....most of the locations were nice enough that I would have stayed five years (the three years in Louisiana were a pain because of cockroaches, and terrible heat/humidity).

The day coming  where you do twenty-two years, and only move three times after boot-camp and tech-training? I might say it's possible.
