I'm sure that some bases will have them longer than others
The USMC doesn't use the A-10. Never have and never will. The Marines use the Harrier as their primary close air support aircraft. So I don't know how a Marine pilot would know what's going on with a USAF aircraft. The top brass has wanted it gone for a more pointy nose jet but nothing can touch the A-10.
