Pros

The Air Force has a lot to offer including job security, excellent benefits, first class training and education opportunities, and travel. Additionally, for the most part, the people you work with are passionate about their jobs and willing to make sacrifices many others would run from. Through my AF service, I have gained a first class education and a varied and unique level of experience.

Cons

My biggest complaint is that once you have chosen either an enlisted or officer track, it is difficult (an later in your career, impossible) to advance beyond a certain rank. As the Air Force does not have Warrant Officers, senior enlisted are limited in their opportunities for advancement. Additionally, the nature of military service is a two edged sword. On the one hand, deployments offer great opportunities, but on the other, the require great sacrifice from the member and their families.

Pros

it is a job :)

Cons

lots of RTO, highly indicative of managers that only understand work is happening when they see it happening.

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.
