Pros

Great job satisfaction. You really get to work on programs that can truly make a difference for the American people. A sense of pride is the best way to describe what you are in for when you accomplish what you need to for the Air Force.

Cons

It is just an absolutely gigantic bureaucracy. Your bosses will probably be so set on maintaining their "piece of the pie" that you will be very very frustrated. Another downside is the waste. When you hear about the government spending 10000 dollars on a toilet seat...well its not that bad, but its definitely not good

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.
