To a point, of course. If he's joining Air Force, as you say, he very well may be deployed to the Mideast. However, he certainly won't be patrolling Baghdad or anything, and he'll be performing mostly safe jobs. (Unless, of course, they stick him in security, in which case the situation changes somewhat) Only 276 USAF personnel have been so much as wounded since the war began. However, if he changes his mind and goes Army or Marines, then hell yes he's going to sunny Mesopotamia.

And he will certainly get money to pay off student loans. That part isn't a lie at all.
