Pros

Great environment to learn on different fighter aircraft. Work with leadership to ensure the mission is meet. Get to see the overall capabilities of all parties involved from line workers to support maintenance back shops. Whole team concept.

Cons

Sometimes hectic flying schedule verses low manning to support the flying schedule . Long hours and other stresses that can affect the outcome or overall mission. Weather is also a big factor. Not for the average person who gets a 30 minutes lunch. Sometimes miss meals and work over the standard 8 hours up to 12 and even 14 to ensure mission is successful.

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.
