Pros

The Air Force is a great opportunity if you're looking to build professional skills and get some leadership opportunities under your belt. Depending on the career field you go into, you can land some great jobs when you get out. I'd really suggest something IT related, or Intelligence related. You'll get a high level clearance and be very employable when you get out. Contracting wouldn't be bad either.

Cons

There is a disconnect between leadership and enlisted. If you have good leadership, things will run smoothly. If you have bad leadership, prepare for a bumpy ride. Right now, money is the biggest concern for the Air Force so a lot of good people are being kicked out for things like PT failures. Not the best way to conduct business, but it's an easy tool to use in order to save some money in the short term.

Pros

Teaches you a trade while paying you. Social appreciation. Purpose. If you have no idea what you want to do with your life especially as far as a career goes, run to a recruiter. Regardless of whereever you come from a military career is your stepping stone into middle class and up living and career opportunity.

Cons

Every extra dollar you attempt to make beyond your rank will require more work than you will be paid to do. The real payoff monetarily you get from competing in the military will come in to play during your post life. Confidence, courage, accountability, etc are not standard attributes in people at all.
