Pros

As a Communications Officer in the US Air Force, you get have a great opportunity to learn leadership/management. Education and medical benefits are good, as well as a retirement plan after serving just 20 years.In the communications arena, you can focus your IT skills if you apply yourself.

Cons

In general, the benefits ourweigh the cons. You can expect to move locations every 3-4 years and typically change jobs every 1-2 years. This provides a greater breadth of experience, but makes it difficult to specialize in a specific area. Also, you can expect to deploy during your career, some people more than others.

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.
