Pros

Retirement benefits are a primary factor if one plans to complete 20 years of active duty service. The Montgomery GI Bill provides tens of thousands towards each person after just 2-4 years of service. Tricare Prime (medical) is by far the best for the active duty person and their dependents.

Cons

Depending on the mission, work can be really good, or terribly difficult. Management is core to the overall work experience. Expect to work really crummy hours, many of them deployed away from family.

Pros

The Air Force has incredible training opportunities and a vast benefits package which remains untapped by most people. Education benefits alone are ~$50K not to mention 100% tuition paid while your on active duty. There are many opportunities to change career fields or just change jobs within a career field. Travel opportunities across the US and abroad.

Cons

Family seperation. Differenct career fields have different amounts of time away from family so there's no ones size fits all answer. Sometimes the amount of work is light and sometimes it's unbearable. You have to take the good with the bad. Stress can be high sometimes but you rarely get bored. Again, depends on the career field.
