When you graduate techschool at Sheppard AFB and are waiting for your orders, or assignment. Therefore you are now stuck doing details. Pushing a broom around from 0700 to 1600 in a hallway cleaning the same area consitantly. Hoping one day that your orders are ready for pick up.
Airman A "You here about Jones ? " Airman B "no what's going on?" Airman A "He's been stuck on details pushing a broom around the squadron until he's gets his orders. He's been waiting for over a month now." Airman B "That sucks." Airman A "Yea he got the Sheppard-Shaft.'
