Similar story, FTU EP and got out in 2008 at 13 year mark when facing a crappy staff tour and a 365 to boot. Knew I would never see the cockpit again. "Needs of the AF" was all my CC could say when presenting me the POS assignment. Spoke to the wife and got out without a flying job. Got a flying gig right away and now a major. Of course we had a nice nest egg set aside for just such a career threat reaction. Everyday I literally wake up thanking the AF for showing me the light.
