Re: Soldiers, families welcome chance to stay put

As far as I know the Corps isnt, I read something once that it was mor efeasable for them not to?

The army actually initially had an idea called "homebasing" where you would be assigned a homestation for a term of 7 years. Say you came down on orders for Korea, you'd do your year (since its a hardship tour) your family would say at say...Benning, and when your tour in Korea was over you would report back to Benning with your family.

Easier on the family, less moving, easier on the soldier and Army. Now they're just going to lifecycle.
