What is the biggest determining factor for an Army aviator's duty station, other than needs of the Army?

I am hoping to become an aviator. I have two children in North Carolina and they will be there for the foreseeable future. I hope to return to Ft. Bragg as a pilot for the duration of my career. How long can a a pilot stay at one duty station? How does their aircraft play into the equation? I keep hearing the Army is short 700+ pilots, how does the assignment process for Warrant Officers work? Any insight would be appreciated, thank you.

Might be better becoming an Aviator for the North Carolina National Guard as an aviator. At least as an Apache pilot, Branch says to expect three years but plan for four years before PCS in Active.

Needs of the Army, Officer development, airframe availability. As a WO1 they are wanting you to meet all the flying quals and work up to be a PC.
