That's a good question but it is quite difficult to answer! It depends on a whole host of factors, particularly your rank and role. Officers usually expect to move around every two years or so, but junior soldiers could find themselves with one unit for much longer.
If you unit is based in a single location you could find yourself there for a long time, but there will be exercises and operations that means, although you will remain living in the same place, you might be away from home for periods during that posting.
Ultimately, it is best to consider what role you want to do, and then speak to people doing that job. They would be able to give you a more specific answer to what a career might look like.
Hope that helps.

The Logistics Corps is a big organisation so it is difficult to say. You'll certainly move a few times early on to complete basic training, driver training and then arrive at your first unit location.
After that, it depends what you are driving and who for, so I'm afraid I can't offer more clarity other than to say, as part of your application process, endeavour to speak to soldiers in the RLC to get their persepective.
Good luck.
