Pros

The Air Force is a great place to work that takes care of its people and offers countless opportunities.

Cons

The archaic enlisted/officer system needs to be revamped. Its based on a very old caste system where officers came from more affluent families or nobility and enlisted where pulled from the proletariat. It may have made sense when the proletariat couldn't read or write, and perhaps, didn't know much about the world at large but in todays economy the affluent generally do not join the military so all the officers and enlisted are pulled from a similar class. At this point our country needs to do what is smart to keep up with the world and picking leaders based on capability rather than a BS degree makes sense to me.

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.
