Pros

It feels great knowing that you can serve your country through the sacrifices that you make as an idividual. The scenery is always changing while you are serving. That includes you location if you like to move every couple of years and management is always turning over. There are many specialties that a person may be qualified for that they may have never thought of trying. The Air Force trains you extensively on you assigned job. This training can come in very handy if you choose to switch to the civilian world.

Cons

Being away from family and friends often

Pros

The Air Force provides a "great way of life". The opportunites for advancement, education, and training,are endless. Overall, the Air Force is the service of choice within the armed forces and the quality of life is far superior.

Cons

One of the hardest things I've experienced is leaving friends behind when moving from one assignement to the next. However, the opportunity to meet new friends and see new places has broadened my life.

Pros

You aren't just working for a salary, you're working for something bigger than yourself. The majority of the people are terrific to work with because they usually have a strong sense of duty and responsibility as well. Very few companies will reward a young adult with the responsibility that the Armed Forces will.

Cons

It is not a democracy! Since our country is at war right now, our 'downsized' force rotates people back and forth on overseas deployments a lot. Depending on your career type you might spend a third of each and every year on deployment--which is pretty hard on family life.
