Commandant says Marines should have a say in whether they change duty stations

Marines typically move every three years, but they should be able to stay where they are for up to 12 years, the Marine Corps commandant says. Marine Corps photo by Staff Sgt. Kelsey Dornfeld.
Marines who want to stay at their current duty stations should be able to do so instead of being forced to make a permanent change of station, or PCS move every few years, Marine Corps Commandant Gen. Eric Smith said on Thursday.

“We have to let Marines pick their own duty station,” Smith said during the annual Modern Day Marine exhibition in Washington, D.C. “If you let a Marine write his own tasking statement, he’ll get it right 100% of the time.”
 

Smith was not announcing any new policy change, rather, he was speaking about the Marine Corps’ ongoing efforts to refine its talent management process, a Marine Corps official told Task & Purpose.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Shouldn't federal judges have a say also? wink777
