Joining the USAF

Hi all,

I'd like to know what your opinion is on joining the US Air Force as
an officer and going to OTS. I'm considering going as an officer in a
technical field (not as a pilot). I know about MEPS and the process
for getting into the OTS, but what I would like to know is whether or
not it is worth it? Is there any guarantee as to what position I might
be working in, or whether or not I would be shipped to the Middle East
to do some sort of work out there? Will knowing Arabic increase my
chances of admission? You know, the general sort of questions that can
be asked to a recruiter, but without a clear, honest answer. Someone
out there with experience doing same would help out a great deal
(those with technical degrees, not pilots).

Thanks,

J
