Not all the blame lands at DoD.
I know of four technical/pilot officers who were committed lifers but just wanted to take a short <3 year broadening assignment/physical location move due to personal circumstances but ignorant "old school" mentality at LtCol and GOC level just saw numbers on a spreadsheet and said no.
People are THE most important part of the DF. Something unfortunately a significant amout of mid/high ranking officers seem to forget
J1 might be "banging the drum" but they are still giving less than 4 weeks notice to troops overseas of moving them to a post at the opposite end of the country.
