Enlisted have this program. <br /><br />This will be an optional program. You could apply to be stationed in one place longer and/or have better odds of being stationed somewhere you want after being assigned to a less desireable location. <br /><br />If you know of any actual data or reports, let me know. Thanks!What is your opinion of an officer base-of-preference program to improve retention & reduce PCS costs? Does PCSing encourage you to separate?2017-03-22T13:54:10-04:00Capt Private RallyPoint Member2439946<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I am studying the pros and cons of implementing a base-of-preference program for officers.

It took a lot of arm twisting to convince her to come back onto active duty last fall. I need to get in 10 years to retire as an O and she's on board for 3 to 4 moves. Beyond that I might get some resistance, especially once we have school aged kids.Response by CPT Private RallyPoint Member made Mar 22 at 2017 8:06 PM2017-03-22T20:06:22-04:002017-03-22T20:06:22-04:002017-03-22T13:54:10-04:00
