I have a family member that is a LTC in the Air Force. He got transferred to Oklahoma. When he got there last week, he was told there was no job opening for him. So, there he sits with nothing to do.

SFC Jake Middaugh - He was flying up until a few weeks ago. His assignment was as an instructor, but it was no longer available.

"More than 1,300 airmen are leaving active-duty military service early this year, as the Air Force looks to balance out its overstaffed career fields.
As of June 17, 1,339 officers and enlisted airmen were approved to retire by Sept. 1, separate by Sept. 29 or participate in the Palace Chase program, said Air Force spokesperson Maj. Holly Hess. Palace Chase lets active-duty members transfer the remaining time in their military commitment to serve in the Air National Guard or Air Force Reserve.
In total, 853 people opted for retirement or separation and 486 people chose to move to the Guard or Reserve, Hess said."
