Some of the positions the Air Force personnel are being diverted into include drivers, interrogators, prison sentries and gunners on supply trucks.

One of my coworkers (subordinates! :D) at work - an ROTC guy here at school - got orders to go to Iraq. apparentley he's in the reserves, so they don't care that he's halfway through his semester and degree at a University.

A friend of mine just finished Navy Officers school, but he's going to Hawaii, hah ... a cool girl I know back in SD is heading off to Air Force boot camp next month though, she hasn't finished Uni yet, wonder if she'll ever get the chance ...
