I am getting ready to start the process again to go active for USAF. (I tried earlier, but had a medical thing to resolve)

I am engaged and will marry before I go off, and I have made a promise to my fiance. She lost her dad a couple of years ago, and I told her I would stay out of major combat. I don't mind landing in hostile territory, and I have informed her that it will happen. The thing that leads me to stray is seeing that USAF folks are performing infantry tasks. That is not me wussing out - just keeping a promise.

I did pretty well on the ASVABS, and the jobs I am looking at are: Loadmaster, Boom Operator, and I would love to do Flight Engineer. A JC member told me that you pretty much have to start in MX to have a good shot at succeeding as an FE.

My questions for now: Are these still decent jobs? Should I be looking elsewhere such as Coast Guard? For anybody in the know, what jobs would be good to setup for Flight Engineer?

Thank you for any help.
