My impression is that many people get tenure in their first job. I've gotten tenure at two institutions. If you have received good training and have a coherent research program, it seems like you wouldn't be hired at an institution unless they are confident that you are capable of getting tenure (of course, it is ultimately up to the candidate's diligence... usually). I'd be surprised if what you heard is true.
Time-to-Ph.D. I suspect has large variance. At Binghamton University, it ranged from 4.5 years to over 10.
