You've been flying for 5 years and 8 months and now you're upset that the AF has decided to give you a tour OUT of the cockpit? What contract did you sign that guaranteed that you would spend your entire career in the cockpit? Sounds to me like you have had a pretty good time up till now. Take this assignment and learn something more about the military than the inside of a cockpit; then when you have learned that you don't like the rest of the job in the military outside of the cockpit - either get out or make career choices that will keep you IN the cockpit for the rest of your career and be prepared to pay the price.
