Pros

World travel has been great. I've been to 35 different countries around the world. Professional growth opportunities cannot be beat. As you progress in the USAF you will be given more and more responsibilites that keeps pushing yourself. You'll find for the most part, your work efforts will be rewarded, not by money but recognition of a job well done.

Cons

Some of the thirty five countries I talked about are not so nice, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Korea and in very austere conditions. But think about it as character building. But in a twist of the downsides, you have a great sense of teamwork that can get you through it and in the end you come out stronger. After 20 years of moving every 3 or 4 years, it can get a bit much.

Pros

Great MILITARY career - Lots of opportunity for professional development and tuition assistance. I loved the fact that I could transfer to other bases every few years and start new challenges while maintaining my level of seniority within the organization. The work you do may save lives.

Cons

This is a military career - not just a job. A certain level of self-sacrifice and selfless desire to serve your country is needed. You may experience deployments, family separation, long hours, no overtime pay, it can be problematic to get time off for school if your a shiftworker or are susceptible to exercises/deployments. You could go to war - the USAF has been in at war since 1990.
