I'm guessing you never served in the army. Recruiting is a hard, thankless task that most NCO’s try to avoid like the plague. I've seen careers and marriages ended by the stresses of a posting to a recruiting billet. And, just because the army can order folks to move on a dime, doesn't mean it should. Real leadership would found a way to minimize or eliminate snatching NCO’s and families to a remote post in the middle of the school year. Try finding affordable housing and schools in the E-town area.

You can order them to report, but they just may vote with their feet when it comes time for Their reenlistment. Now you've lost a trained and experienced NCO.

We're eating our seed corn.

All by design.
