Pros

Amazing experiences around the globe. You will never find a more exciting job. As a pilot I dedicated a lot of time to technical training and learning how to lead and motivate large teams in stressful situations around the world.

Cons

You lose a lot of your autonomy in terms of where you want to work. There is a significant and binding committment to the military. I do think that this committment is justified however since the military spent so much time and money teaching me to fly.

Pros

It is what you make out of it. You'll have good days and bad days. It's all dependent on your leadership. That can make or break the command. Medical is free, but can take a while to get seen. You'll meet a lot of new people and could travel around the world depending on your duty station. Education benefits and training.

Cons

Medical can take a while to get seen, unless it's an emergency. If you're single, the pay isn't that great, but you don't have to much to worry about for bills if you live on base. If you're on sea duty billet, your work life balance will be terrible.
