Pros

Camaraderie with fellow officers. Respect and thankfulness from people when outside of base in uniform. discounts for skiing lift tickets, amusement parks, etc. Free checked bag usually for airlines in America. An opportunity to serve.

Cons

Inflexibility in a huge, huge organization. Lack of personal feel from AFPC, the HR branch of the AF that assigns you to your new job every 4 years. A broken system for performance reviews that requires you to "play the game."

Pros

Getting 2.5days of accrued leave per month is nice, which adds up over time. You can request leave whenever within your schedule and it won't be denied.

Cons

Not too much structure when it comes to squadron training. Depends on your squadron but leadership can really determine your experience.
