US Air Force reviews

Environment can be political. Constant re-org, new management theories. Military turnover/uncertain leadership/staff changes. Issues "baby boomer" generation squatting in positions.

No value placed on time because time =/= money in the military Lots of dead time but you're still expected to be sitting in an office somewhere (this counts as working) No attempts at predictability in your schedule (peculiar to certain operational career fields) Despite rigorous and demanding feedback requirements, it isn't received Highly bureaucratic, no real chance to have an impact on anything as an individual because everything is so bogged down and resistant to change Basically as long as you're not a dirtbag and put your time in you have amazing job security and will steadily be promoted over the years. However, all of the smartest people I know get out because not having any possibility to use creative thought or have an impact becomes too infuriating. Thus you're left with all the yes-men and kool-aid drinkers who perpetuate the unchanging, bogged down, bureaucratic, military-industrial mess that we have in place (there are some exceptions as always but these people are constantly fighting an uphill battle and are universally on blood-pressure meds).
