Pros

The USAF provides outstanding pay and benefits and a fairly stable job environment. Ample opportunity for advancement and promotion.

Pros

Worked with some truly outstanding people as a fighter pilot. Travelled the world and have seen and done things most people can't even imagine. Worked in some organizations that are laser-focused on accomplishing the mission.

Cons

The Air Force is not immune to corporate buffoonery: equating education with leadership, square-filling is a career advancement requirement, etc In the current fiscally-constrained environment, the AF is approaching the limits of "do more with less." Morale is getting low and senior AF leadership at times appears woefully blind to this.
