Pros

personal growth limited only by your own drive. technologically driven branch with forward thinking leadership. many great career fields to coose from.

Cons

somewhat restricted lifestyle. intelligence is not always rewarded. many of the best jobs are stateside so dont expect to travel and see the world unless you are an mp or runway repair specialist.
