Should I send my college transcripts (undergraduate & graduate) to Air University while talking to recruiter?

Making sure that I'm the correct rank.

Along with potentially going to one of the umbrella schools for officers under Air University: Squadron Officer School, Air Command and Staff College, & Air War College.

No, you're way ahead of yourself there. Those colleges are for officers who are a good decade or so into their careers. Also, they are for officers, if you're enlisting, you're not an officer. If you're commissioning then your rank will be O1, no matter what undergrad you have.

Tell me you know absolutely nothing about the military without telling me…. Always speak to your recruiter before going on your own path

No you should not. They will just ignore your correspondence. Just focus on what the recruiter needs from you and go from there.

First...if you are coming in as an officer they already have your transcripts as that is an requirement for your application to OTS. Second, when you come in unless you are a medical officer, lawyer, or possibly an experienced nurse you will come in as an O-1 meaning you won't see these schools for a very long time. ACSC and AWC possibly never. Jut take day one and go from there.
