Pros

The Air Force is a great opportunity for young adult to start a career. Joining the US Air Force offers the opportunity to get benefits such as medical and dental care as well as paid educational assistance. For example, I have completed both bachelors and masters degrees while on active duty. I will complete 20-years of military service with a paid Masters Degree and no student loans to repay. In addition, the technical training that I have received combined with a security clearance affords me many valuable opportunities to get started on a second career as a relatively young age.

Cons

Long and many deployments; time away from family

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.
