I've been in the Air Force for a little over 5 years now. Up until about 8 months ago I was a Loadmaster. A Loadmaster is the guy who loads the plane, handles the passengers, and takes care of wieght and balance and emergencies. Due to reasons cocerning my mental health I am no longer able to fly. Well for the past 8 months I've been seeing a mental health doctor(shrink) to be able to cope with my problem and continue my career in the Air Force, but in a different career field. Everything was going fine until my commander went on Deployment(left for the war if there is one). Last Friday my supervisor tells me that I have a meeting with the commander(who at this point I still think is my regular commander not his replacement) and my first Sargeant(guy who represents all enlisted personell in a squadron, company.....). I ask what it's all about and she says they just want to touch base about my situation and see how things are going. I'm like cool. Monday rolls around and I go in to have this meeting. My boss and I get there and I'm still thinking the real commander is here until I see the ******* come out of his office. We start talking with the commander and 1st shirt and well he basically tells me that I'm going to go back to being a loadmaster wether I want to or not. Well you can only imagine my look. I was like what the **** is going on?! First of all your not the real commander and did you even talk to him before he left(not actually said)? Basically he wants me to go back to my old job or get out. He also told me that I have until noon tommorow to make a decision to fly or not fly. Now here I am a guy who has put 5 solid years of his life into becoming a great airman. A guy who wishes to continue his career and who was told he could do so by his real commander. If this ******* has his way then I will be out on my ass and have to find a job with basically no experience except what I've learned while in the Air Force and have to support myself, my car, and my wife. Now tell me is this some **** or what?
