it's been a LONG, LONG time since I went through flying training! Either way best of luck.

Apart from the old and bold who still wear their awarded LM brevet (rightly so) there is no 'streaming' as Loadmaster anymore. You become a WSOp (Crewman) on either rotary or fixed wing.
As for spending nearly all your time in the desert, don't be frightened by those that apparently 'know'. You will indeed do a fair amount of time on Ops in the current climate but it is not as horrendous as some will try and point out.
To the OP, a little bit of online research (rather than a rumour forum) will provide all your answers.
