Pros

The benefits are the best. 100% tuition assistance, medical for yourself and dependants. You also get 30 days of accrued vacation time each year and unlimited sick days for illnesses. Other benefits include VA related benefits such as VA home loans. When it boils down, the Air Force is a great place to start you career as you get thrown into the fire from day one. You'll learn leadership and teamwork skills to deal with everyday situations. Although non-profit, the skills you gain while in become very valuable once you hit the street looking for a civilan sector job.

Cons

Deployments with the ongoing war overseas, lower pay, sometimes stressful jobs

Pros

Great benefits, opportunities to travel and meet some truly outstanding individuals from all over the world. Excellent training opportunities. Serving your country and the pride that comes from that.

Cons

Deployment rates for certain career fields can be very high. Over a 20 year career you can plan on deploying multiple times to support various worldwide operations.

Pros

The Air Force is a great place to start your career. They offer great opportunities for training and promotion. The educational and retirement benefits offered in the military are second to none. I would recommend going into the Air Force over the other branches of the military but recommend the military to any young person not sure what they want to do when they "grow up." They provide structure, dedication, pride, and help people grow into reliable employees.

Cons

There are no more "downsides" than any other "company." The downsides are different but no worse.
