Unless you’re a pilot or other flight crew member, I don’t think it would a lot of fun to be an Air Force officer. I guess a few math wizards might enjoy communications, but most other AF officers are just administrators.
One can have a long and satisfying career in aircraft maintenance but the few officers in my Avionics Maintenance Squadrons (3 I think) wouldn’t have a clue as to how to fix an airplane. Of course they outrank the enlisted maintenance people, but they certainly don’t LEAD them.

Combat Control Team, ParaRescue, Air Commando, seem like some pretty awesome non administrative roles too.

I've worked with some IT and Intel types that were pretty sharp.

As they outsource more and more functions to civilians, the administrator positions that remain don't translate well to civilian life. For example, a munitions officer, like an Army artillery officer, has almost zero carry-over to a civilian job.
