Pros

The Air Force provides a great way of life while learning a trade. The people that you meet along the way makes the journey worth it's wild.

Cons

There are not too many cons. For those with families sometimes you are away from your families for extended periods of time.

Pros

Fantastic travel opportunities and neverending challenges. Responsibility and leadership training fast and early. You truly get out of it what you put into it, including educational opportunities and advancement. Promotions are based in great part on merit, but you need to understand what blocks you need to fill in order to make it and also be able to test well in order to score high enough on the promotion tests. If you get your CCAF (associate degree from the Air Force) in Paralegal Studies, it is accredited by the American Bar Association.

Cons

There is never enough money or manpower to truly get the job done right, and there never will be. You will often have to work long hours and should expect the work to be thankless. As a paralegal you are doing the drudge work that the attorneys don't want to do, and even once you move up in rank you're still going to be doing the same work you did as a junior ranking person - it will just be the more complicated stuff. It's not a stepping stone to becoming a lawyer and the work is not quite the same as paralegal work in the civilian world.

Pros

Commradary, travel, and aviation experiences 2nd to none. By far the best place to grow future airline pilots ready for a direct transition to captain of part 121 operations.

Cons

Rear Echelon Mother F's who often fail to understand that operators also play a support role that is usually not defined by typical/normal "business hours" or "work weeks"
