Pros

Working for your country and always getting to try something new.

Cons

Retirement is an all-or-nothing scenario. Either do 20 years and get it or nothing at all. The TSP is similar to 401k but no matching contributions.

Pros

Opportunities to serve one's country, and learn and apply leadership and teamwork skills. Excellent technical training available to both officer and enlisted personnel, as well as, new benefits from GI Bill for college degree. Deployments are normally shorter duration than other military services. Core values of integrity, service before self, and excellence in all that we do are adhered to by 99% of office/NCO corps.

Cons

Higher operations tempo often can result in much more than 40 hour "work week" and regular deployments with irregular work hours make seeking education in off-duty hours more challenging.

Pros

Steady paycheck, average medical benefits, great education benefits

Cons

You lose some freedom such as having curfews if living in another country or if your an airman still living in the dorms. The base I was at didn't allow alcohol in the dorms even if your were of legal age. Leadership is terrible in most cases because they are only concerned about their well being and their promotions, not yours. POLITICS is guaranteed, the possibility of moving from state to state or to another country is fairly high.
