Assuming the judge doesn't award him attorney fees and court costs if he rules in the other guy's favor.
I can't speak for non-intel units, but I know they've been deploying the hell out of 14N's (AF intel officer job code) for at least the past four years. They don't get a choice in whether they go, and some of them have been out there as many times as their Army/Marine counterparts. You may be thinking of enlisted personnel though, since many of their jobs (with the exception of air crews) can be done virtually from here.
The AF does the same thing. I had a guy I worked with come up for deployment and get assigned to an IED forensics team to backfill an empty Army spot. He made it back okay but I'm told those units have some of the highest casualty rates in the war.Originally Posted by Marlin
