Give soldiers on PCS orders an option of new assignment.

Created by R.R. on June 26, 2013

Soldiers coming down on PCS orders are never given the choice of where they would like to continue with their career. What I think should happen is that instead of just sending a soldier away to whatever new post/camp/base, present options for a new duty assignment where soldiers are needed.

For example; say Fort Hood, TX; Fort Campbell, KY; and JBLM, WA have units that are under strength and its time for a soldier get a new duty assignment. It would benefit that soldier's career to go to KY and be a part of an Air assault unit, but came under assignment to Fort Bragg, NC.

If the soldier was given options, it would benefit the soldier, their family, and the military.
