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.

s gets his orders. He'
