Pros

Healthcare, housing, and education benefits are outstanding. You have the opportunity to work with many people from many different ways of life, as opposed to a job you might find locally. Steady promotion rates and job security. You get a raise each year.

Cons

The Air Force, as with any military branch, goes by the "shut up and color" motto. The values and opinions of individuals aren't valued as much as they should be. Long hours are something that you should expect here and there. Miss out on events with family and friends.

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.
