Yes, a very small percentage of soldiers can stay in the Army over 30 years. However, they are either 3 or 4 star generals (as in the JCS) or E-9 Command Sargent Majors. But these soldiers normally served their career in one of the combat army's and not combat support or combat service support branches.
So I would say your odds of staying in the Army (I am a former artillery officer so I am only familiar with the army's QM branch) even 25 years in the Quartermaster corp is pretty slim.
My dad retired as a Navy Commander (same rank as a Lt. Colonel) after 22 years and my uncle retired from the USAF as a full Colonel after 25 years.

What dangers do you foresee in the Quartermaster corp? A paper cut? Yeah, you should be able to live thirty years.

just make sure you dont get posted to any Islamic country to fight any war. Chances are that you could get killed by a suicide bomber. period.
