Leaving for AF BMT soon and I feel like my recruiter lied to me a BIG way... help!?

I'm leaving for Air Force BMT on June 1st.
I enlisted in the DEP, i did NOT do Open General. When I first started working with my recruiter, she basically told me that depending on my ASVAB and physical scores, I could "choose" my MOS. Or at least know what my MOS would be before leaving for BMT. I thought that by going the DEP route and not Open General, I could basically just wait until there was an opening for one of my MOS preferences and then go to BMT.
BUTTTT when my recruiter called and told me that I had date for BMT (months ago) she also told me that I didn't get a job. All i got was the General Aptitude area.... I was extremely confused by this and tried to talk to her about it, but she just told me that the AF doesn't guarantee jobs and I'd get whatever is available when I go to basic. I made peace with it since i have a high ASVAB score which might help me get one of my preferences.
But I've been talking to a bunch of other AF trainees in the DEP who are leaving the same time as me, and they already have an MOS. I don't understand why I didn't....


So if any of you have any idea what might have happened, I'd love to hear from ya!
Did my recruiter lie to me and give me the run-around just to get me through?

How can you identify a special forces soldier when he's not wearing his uniforms?

Well, of course they won’t say will they. One of my military intelligence friends once told me its not what they tell you but what they don’t tell you that you should pay attention to. Having been in the military myself and known quite a few SAS guys, both having met them casually and in the service I have noticed the following give away features.When you ask them which part of the military they are from rather than saying “I am with the XYZ regiment” they will be vague and say “I am soldier” or “I am a marine” they then they change the subject.They often travel in groups of youngish, guys, who obviously spend a lot of time together. They will all be from the military, but strangely they are often from different parts (e.g. “I am a soldier he’s a marine” they then change the subject.)When you ask them details about the type of skydiving they’ve done in the military (I met one group of SAS guys while skydiving) they might tell you about Jumps that, if you know anything about sky-diving, are clearly not the type that a regular soldier would do, but they never say why they would do jumps like that - they just say it was “training”.But the real give away is the general flagrant disregard for what might be termed regular behavior. Often they are great guys, and I can tell you they are definitely the ones I’d like to hang out with at a party. But they are also the ones most likely to decide that the best course of action at 4am is to go to a (closed) whore house and then to break in by climbing in through a second story window (true story) or other similar such “I clearly don’t give a f***” behavior. Clearly this is trivial stuff as compared to their day jobs, which is probably why it makes sense to them. But any objective observer would say that they are slightly bonkers for doing something like that.
