Pros
The amount of opportunities are limitless. Unlike other branches the Air Force actually treats you like a human. You’re always encouraged to progress as an Airmen, professional, and as a person. Also go OFFICER, you’ll get payed way better. If you put in for the GI bill regardless of rank you’ll get $100K to go to school, or learn a trade etc you can NOT pull it out for personal consumption of materialist things/objects. It’s ONLY FOR EDUCATION. While you’re in you get practically “free” medial benefits it’s Medicare and it cost $25 a month that automation comes out of your paycheck. Lastly, you get a secrete security clearance which will help you with getting a federal job on the outside and you get Veteran preference for federal jobs when it comes time to get out of the military.
Cons
You’re always encouraged to progress which can easily lead to burnout. Furthermore, if you don’t have boundaries in terms of how much work you should be doing/how much you work you will be given additional work and duties to pick up the slack of others to accomplish the mission. You can get deployed depending on your job, you will most likely leave your state of residence and get stationed out of state. That can be a pro or a con depending on the type of person you are.
