Of course, this could all have changed by now, but something to be aware of when talking to the recruiters.
Best of luck.

In the AF, you can go in based on your ASVAB scores as '
Open General or Administrative or Mechanical or Electrical' And while you're going through basic they'll pick out a career field for you, but you choose which major sector to be in. OR you can go to your recruiter and say you want to be a __________ and if there is a job open in that area, you can sign for that specific job and have it locked in. That's what I did. Of course I later found out what I'd be doing was not what the recruiter
told me I would be doing. But I blame that on the mystery of my career field and him having not done it, had no idea what it was.
But it is possible in the AF to go in with a
guaranteed job.
