Snowbirding

A military term used when describing someone who is required to be at a certain training assignment but cannot actually begin for an extended period of time. Therefore they have to just chill in the area (like a snowbird) until they can finally conduct their assigned training. Sometimes they are given menial tasks or details, especially when snowbirding for several weeks or even months.

My training here at Sill was pushed back three months, so I'll be snowbirding until then.
