Pros

Very Good Pay and Unparalleled Benefits, Defend Your Country, Extremely Unique Work Environments and Experiences. Opportunities to work with cutting-edge technologies.

Cons

Extremely Unique Work Environments and Experiences... Unless you are in finance, medical or other corporate-like fields, the AF may be nothing like you ever expected. This is not your typical 9 to 5 job, especially if you end-up in operations. And remember, the AF picks your career and location for you, no matter what the recruiter might say. Eventually, you will be familiar with the phrase, "needs of the Air Force."

Pros

Teaches you a trade while paying you. Social appreciation. Purpose. If you have no idea what you want to do with your life especially as far as a career goes, run to a recruiter. Regardless of whereever you come from a military career is your stepping stone into middle class and up living and career opportunity.

Cons

Every extra dollar you attempt to make beyond your rank will require more work than you will be paid to do. The real payoff monetarily you get from competing in the military will come in to play during your post life. Confidence, courage, accountability, etc are not standard attributes in people at all.
