General McConville said, "I don't see why people can't stay four, five, six, seven, eight, nine years." I've been lucky enough to have three 4+ year assignments during my career. I've felt very fortunate to have that stability and to be able to provide that to my family. What are your thoughts on longer assignments and less PCSing?

That means someone stays equally as long in a place they don’t like! Not so sure, we will see. Thank you all for your service.

That’s nice for them, but how about the next guy? If everyone could stay, say ten years at their favorite posting, no one else would get to go there.

That's certainly a good point. I don't think the CSA was making an argument against no time limitations for assignments, but maybe longer assignments. Also, I've found that almost everywhere I've been, there are people that loved the place and wanted to stay, even at the "bad" locations, like Fort Polk, LA.
