Pros

Working as a contractor at WPAFB has been nice because of management's general flexibility with time-off for vacation and sick leave.

Cons

Downsides: Too many middle men, and too many people who don't care for their jobs, slack off, and make it difficult for those who want to build successful programs.

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.
