Pros

It is great for young people, shows them guidance on how to go forward in life, however, when you become older and have a mind of your own, it is more difficult to hold back your own opinion

Cons

Any job in the military is difficult for families. You can be gone from them for lengthy amounts of time. Also promotions can be very slow in particular with the Air Force, versus other branches.

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.
