my nephew has been a crew chief on the ospreys pretty much from the time he got out of boot camp, reuped so he could keep flying and he loves the aviation end of it and hoped to be a full fledged pilot, he has logged lots of hours at the controls and was as happy as anyone could expect a marine to be.
now all of a sudden his commander/ptb's are telling him he is going to san diago and will be a drill instructor and he hates the idea. we have tried telling him its an honor and the not being deployed for 3/4 of the year will make his new wife a lot happier.
anybody have an insite as to why the marines would change a career path so abruptly or any thing to tell him to make this bitter pill something he can take.
