c0r version: I feel your pain.
Haha, oh man, the military is terrible about this (in my experience at least, Army 1LT here). Can't speak for the civilian side.
Not the same exactly as yours but - I spent about three months going to specialized training all over the states and Germany for my job (platoon leader in intel), deploy to Iraq...less than a month later, get replaced by someone who's pretty much fresh on the job but for whatever reason they take my slot and I'm pushed out of my shop and lose control over most of my Soldiers. We had another couple moves like that, I swear that can't make up their mind, 7 months in and frustrated as hell.
My buddy took over as company XO for a while, thought it was going to be a permanent move (about year) - less than two months later he finds out he's getting bumped by someone else and he's getting pushed to another unit.
Good thing about the military is if you hate your job and/or superiors it never lasts forever, right now I'm telling myself "five more months, five more months." Sweet deal, I'm hitting CPT next summer as well and then getting the hell out of this damn unit!

yeah, since i'm not going to be the "real" flight commander, i'll only be here two years, instead of like 3.5 the guy i temporarily replaced. that doesn't really bother me though (even if it is living here in Enid); it's just the fact that they're giving me command, then taking it away.

You're in the Military, so who gives a shit. You always have a job. You're not replaced, your transferred. |
You make a great point - job security is awesome. It's hard to hear people bitch about wanting to get out - they volunteered as much as I did, haha. Not saying I don't bitch once in a while...
