I'm presuming this is since I've been married with the military in charge. I'll also answer for how long I've been in one spot which doesn't correlate with assignments since we've lived apart quite a a bit, mostly for me to go back to school.
Current: Less than a year
Shortest: Since being married (5 years), we've had 4 assignments (just started the 4th). I took a quarter off school and lived with H for 3 months when he was in Japan (I'd lived there for 18 months with him before moving after he deployed). After I finished school I went to Korea for the last 4-5 months of that year long assignment. Personally, I think of the 3 months as a long vacation, since I kept my apartment and stuff back in Denver, but I count Korea as a move since everything I owned was in storage, and I never went back.
Longest: 18 or so months consecutively.
