Pros

The pros were that I got to fly in a Helicopter everyday, on deployment you get to work of off a flight schedule, so you don't have such a monotonous schedule. Most people on deployment work 12 on and 12 off, but for aircrew you are required to get a certain amount of rest before flying which is very nice.

Cons

Cons are that the training and schooling is very long and for that you are rewarded with E-4 right away, however dont expect that to change the fact that you'll have to do E-3 and watches even though they have only been in the military a quater of the time you have.

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.
