Pros

Depnding on who your boss is, you could have a great or awful experience (however bosses move around a fair amount, so if you don't like yours, just wait). I was lucky enough to work for some incredible bosses who really treated their people right. The Air Force offers incredible (especially with the new GI Bill) educational opportunities. In addition the work is sually challenging, and you know you are making a difference in your work. Locations are all over the world, and bosses are very supportive in trying to find a new location. If you decide to leave, you leave with great experience and possibly a security clearance.

Cons

The Air Force deploys. The Air Force moves. It can be very hard to have a stable life for your family or your children because of all of the moves that are made. The Air Force "owns" you 24/7, and all leave is based on that - so you don't have weekends off, automatically.

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.
