Pros

The retirement plan and the benefits. Also, there are lots of opportunities to travel. Health care is free, prescriptions are free, college tuition is paid for, and they'll pay additional money to you for housing and food allowances.

Cons

You become government property for the duration of your enlistment. Senior leadership becomes quickly detached from the lower working class. Pay is okay, but lots of people can make more on the outside. Then there's the whole "war" thing. You're kinda expected to go off to war, and they don't always tell you when you're coming back.

Pros

Getting 2.5days of accrued leave per month is nice, which adds up over time. You can request leave whenever within your schedule and it won't be denied.

Cons

Not too much structure when it comes to squadron training. Depends on your squadron but leadership can really determine your experience.
