This will be our first time meeting.
Also, what should I discuss with the recruiter (what questions should I ask?)?

No drug test yet. Just an informative meeting for both of you. Him to get an assessment of you and you to get an assessment of the Air Force. They really need good candidates, so the ball is in your court. Ask lots of questions and take notes to research the validity of the recruiter's answers. They've been known to stretch the truth.
I had the opportunity to work at the American Embassy in Ecuador several years ago. I got to see how the other American forces worked and lived and I was never more proud of my decision to join the Air Force. We lived better and the atmosphere at work and away from work was much more relaxed - just like real civilians.
I researched all the Forces prior to joining the Air Force and it was one of the best choices I've ever made. Best wishes and many blessings to you.

The drug test won't be until you actually go up to MEPS on a later date to sign the papers.
Ask why you should join the Air Force instead of the Army, and ask how your educational opportunities compare. Also ask how your MOS selection is decided.

If your first concern is will you be getting a drug test.....maybe a military career is not the best choice for you
Your first meeting will not involve any medical exams....
If you decide to join.....be sure everything you want is WRITTEN in the contract.....A recruiters opinion or promise is as good as the paper it is written on....

Thank you Alan S and Abe Lincolnfor reminding me that half of this country doesn't have a damn clue what the military is all about.
Anyway, I can say I've been in the AF 10 years and its been wonderful. Ask questions, get answers, take notes, and don't make any decisions you don't feel comfortable making.

If I were you I would cancel the meeting and not join. They are most likely going to send you to Iraq, and you will be putting your life in danger for nothing.
I'm not sure it matters what questions you ask. They are going to say whatever they have to in order to get you to join, and you cannot expect honest answers. If you join, you will probably go to Iraq, and you will stay there for at least as long as the Republicans are in power, unless you get killed or seriously wounded first.
As far as the drug test, I don't think our military cares much. If you are using drugs they will probably be able to give you advice on what to do to pass the test.

Expect that if you sign up they will never, ever, let you go, unless your either dead, severly injured, or with a dishonorable discharge. A dishonorable discharge makes it so you cannot get any work anywhere from chamber of commerce business or government job, including school teacher.
