Pros

This is a great job if you are looking for adventure and really want to make a difference. You will be put in some very challenging situations and will be entrusted with hundreds of millions of dollars of equipment and lots of leadership opportunities. You will get the opportunity to do what most people wish they could do, actually get rid of terrorists.

Cons

Long deployments that are very hard on family life. At home there is an excellent work/home balance. Even though you are a pilot/navigator, you also have a real office job that you must also learn and be good at.

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.
