Pros

The Air Force is a great place to start your career. They offer great opportunities for training and promotion. The educational and retirement benefits offered in the military are second to none. I would recommend going into the Air Force over the other branches of the military but recommend the military to any young person not sure what they want to do when they "grow up." They provide structure, dedication, pride, and help people grow into reliable employees.

Cons

There are no more "downsides" than any other "company." The downsides are different but no worse.

Pros

job security you can't get fired unless you do something illegal, plenty of room for advancement if you put forth effort, 30 days of paid leave a year plus most holidays and weekends off, great benefits such as free medical, dental, optical, legal help and access to facilities on base that vary from base to base

Cons

crappy hours - depending on which job you get your position could work around the clock and your going to work nights and thru the nights eventually and often. deployments-depend on your job and location but could deploy to a foreign country once every 2 years for 3-4 months sometimes more often. low income you'll never be rich, unless you become a high ranking officer....even then its not alot.

Pros

Working for your country and always getting to try something new.

Cons

Retirement is an all-or-nothing scenario. Either do 20 years and get it or nothing at all. The TSP is similar to 401k but no matching contributions.
