90,000 seems like a large number - and it is.

But most of the 90,000 are not the same from month to month. Any of you got wounded and took a couple of months to get better? You were one of the 90,000 for a couple of months.

It appears they even count the people PCSing while they are between stations.

But I agree that the ones who need to go need to go quicker.
