Pros

The ability to serve something great than the "bottom line." Ronald Reagan once said "far too many people get to the end of their lives and wonder if they ever made a difference. Members of the U.S. military never have to ask that question, as they HAVE made a difference."

Cons

Lots and lots of moving... My family has had 15 moves and 18 addresses in 25 years.

Pros

The people you work with everyday are fantastic. You get great satisfaction that you are serving your country and supporting a great mission. Our AF men and women on the front lines and also on the back lines really do care about this country and their mission. I think bosses are fair and want you to succeed. The morale is high. The comraderie is good.

Cons

permanent change of stations and/or long TDYs/deployments

Pros

the comraderie and knowing that you're doing something to help protect the nation. at some locations and for specific jobs, the actual work is amazing, both in interest and overall impact. plus, you get the chance to move around and see places that you otherwise would not go. it's possible to be in a different part of the world every two years - for most other jobs, that is nearly impossible. there's also a good number of days off given through federal holidays, MAJCOM down days, and the leave that you accrue over the course of a year. i think it all adds up to aobut a month and a half of free time that you can take in a calendar year....

Cons

if you get stuck in the wron g place it is horrendous. you can move around a lot, but you run the risk of landing somewhere where you simply cannot adjust to the change in culture, you're limited in your personal life (i.e. cannot go to school as there are no good viable options, it's a small town so no sultural things to do like museums, shows, etc.) and in some cases even your professional life (i.e. for your job title there still a requirement, but the mission really doesn't utilize your specific skill set, so your professional talents are essentially wasted).
