Pros

Money is good. You have a pension at retirement, which private sector doesn't offer. If you don't mind going to smaller cities there are many places you can go, such as Kirkland AFB, NM where you make good money comparing against locals. Air Force also provide many opportunity for training and advancement for mobile individuals. Benefit is good and stress level is low; supervisors are usually very flexible and understanding.

Cons

To move up the ladder you have little choice but go to Washington DC; where you will be stuck in traffic and forced to endure the high cost of living. Jobs in the AF....aren't challenging enough and it gets old really fast.

Pros

it is a job :)

Cons

lots of RTO, highly indicative of managers that only understand work is happening when they see it happening.

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.
