Dont know what current policy is but when i went through a couple years ago.
For the most part this is correct. At MEPS they ask you to make a list. You may or may not be offered a job from that list. The recruiter will tell you what was selected.
You can say ok ill take that job at which point he will put it into your contract and provided that you dont make yourself ineligible you will get that job or you can opt for a general option, which is a crap shoot on what you get.
Now depending on Air Force needs at the time there might be some jobs that if you say you want that job you will get it.
Traditionally this has been things like PJ's, SERE, or CCTs. But sometimes normal jobs do show up on the critical list.
