      A Great Way of Life!

      Air force officer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Opportunities to serve one's country, and learn and apply leadership and teamwork skills. Excellent technical training available to both officer and enlisted personnel, as well as, new benefits from GI Bill for college degree. Deployments are normally shorter duration than other military services. Core values of integrity, service before self, and excellence in all that we do are adhered to by 99% of office/NCO corps.

      Cons

      Higher operations tempo often can result in much more than 40 hour "work week" and regular deployments with irregular work hours make seeking education in off-duty hours more challenging.

      Think before you act!

      E5 - air force - staff sergeant

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Steady paycheck, average medical benefits, great education benefits

      Cons

      You lose some freedom such as having curfews if living in another country or if your an airman still living in the dorms. The base I was at didn't allow alcohol in the dorms even if your were of legal age. Leadership is terrible in most cases because they are only concerned about their well being and their promotions, not yours. POLITICS is guaranteed, the possibility of moving from state to state or to another country is fairly high.

      Great Service where education is key - hard to have a stable family life

      Communications officer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Depnding on who your boss is, you could have a great or awful experience (however bosses move around a fair amount, so if you don't like yours, just wait). I was lucky enough to work for some incredible bosses who really treated their people right. The Air Force offers incredible (especially with the new GI Bill) educational opportunities. In addition the work is sually challenging, and you know you are making a difference in your work. Locations are all over the world, and bosses are very supportive in trying to find a new location. If you decide to leave, you leave with great experience and possibly a security clearance.

      Cons

      The Air Force deploys. The Air Force moves. It can be very hard to have a stable life for your family or your children because of all of the moves that are made. The Air Force "owns" you 24/7, and all leave is based on that - so you don't have weekends off, automatically.
