The daughter of my boss is an Air Force pilot flying C-130 gunships. She has done 5 tours of duty, mostly in Iraq, but at least once in Afghanistan. Within the last six months she was redeployed out of the Air Force and into the Army to serve as some kind of "Electrical Officer?" riding in the front Humvee on patrols in Iraq. It looks like for some missions the military doesn't have enough trained troops and are pulling them from other services. You might consider that aspect of it. I think my bosses daughter was upset enough about the "reassignment" that she will probably get out when her time is up.
