So that's what you did. I was wondering what your career field was, i just never asked. On a somewhat related note, the Air Force is ALOT more self contained then people realize or other branch's give credit for. There are even a number of people who become airborne or air assault qualified. Something you only think of as being Army.

I think part of the problem is the AF likes to portray itself as "high tech", so you only see the glamor imagery, and jobs in recruiting offices and such. Other part of the problem, is the (very legitimate) image of the AF as the "Chair Force". There are indeed a lot of people who "Fly a desk" in the AF.
