PCS is getting stupid. The Army spends millions every year to move people who are good at what they do. They then will get 14 days off for PCS, spend 6 months learning their new job, and for what? We take people with advanced degrees and move them every 3 years just for promotion.

Sir,
Luckily FORSCOM is looking into this. I only know because of a recent meeting with the FORSCOM CSM. Hopefully things will change sooner rather than later and you are spot on with your assessment.

PCS'ing isn't particularly fun, but it's a necessary evil. Keep in mind that as long as we have overseas assignments like Korea, Germany, and other places, the military will have to keep doing the PCS shuffle. If you've been stationed overseas and didn't like it, you were likely counting down the days to when you headed back to the States. Since those places need G.I. bodies to occupy them, PCS'ing is a must...unless we can round up all the people that swear up and down that they love those places and keep them there. :-) Then maybe the rest can stay put wherever.

Going back to 1974, 3 year PCS was too long for the guys and gals in Korea and else where; remote Island for one. Even Hawaii became a rock too.

SGM Mikel Dawson - Imagine travel back in time, and buy stocks using Ike warning. Which reminds me back in the early 80's I was told to buy stock in condom makers, but I spent the money on wife #2 instead.

CPT Pedro Meza - Sir, we could retire in style! If I had life to do over again, I would buy stock in toilet paper. After getting married and seeing how much women use, I know I would be rich.

SGM Mikel Dawson - You are wise and brave, cause I would never have brought up the TP; otherwise no one watches over your shoulder. Yes #5 monitors me!
