      USAF is good for stability and benefits, if you can put up with the hypocrasy

      Pros

      Professionals, comaraderie, INTEGRITY of almost all members. The military stands out in inegrity and unselfishness when it comes to accomplishing the mission. Not motivated by money, but rather for thinking ahead, and anticipating problems.

      Cons

      Lack of control of where and when you will go. Excessively long work hours. Difficulty on familiy life due to this inability to predict when/where you will HAVE to move. You are forced to move whether you want to or no. You have to "kiss up" and "play the game" if you want to advance. You are measured on your ability to ALWAYS have your "game face" on no matter what. Even the lightest questining of why something needs to be done a certain way results in being labeled as "not one of the boys." Those who make it to the top have the same, glassy-eyed, fake grin, unemotionless, blank, cut competent look -- whether they are right or wrong, no matter what is happening around them.

      Great Experience, but Improved Leaders Wanted

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Serving in the Air Force is a great way to serve our country and learn valuable skills which can also be applied in the civilian workforce. Promotion opportunities are quite good at least for officers due to so many people retiring and separating. Getting to work as a team with the AF core values was a great experience as well. The benefits, including medical, dental, vision, leave, taxes, and commissary are all quite valuable when compared to the "outside" world. Another great reason to work for the US Air Force is to be on the cutting edge of emerging technology.

      Cons

      Being an Air Force officer, I can not count on my duty day being 9-5. The hours are very long in most cases (though rewarding as well) at a cost to family life. Also, education and leadership opportunities are not always given to the deserving personnel, but to those who are closest to the decision-makers (i.e. closer to the flag pole). The medical care is not always the best, but it is "free." Senior leaders do not always consider the entire Air Force mission and focus too heavily on fighter aircraft which are significant, but possibly not as important as other emerging capabilities.

      Pros

      Career advancement is guaranteed as long as you do nothing illegal. Great opportunities exist to travel the world. Training is unmatched anywhere in thew world. Other pro's are that employers will seek to employ you because of the work ethic and discipline you eventually learn to live by.

      Cons

      Career advancement is guaranteed as long as you do nothing illegal. This inevitably leads to people getting promoted and leading other into misery. Overall, the deployments are increasing and a melting pot of services are becoming the reality. Airmen no longer just do their own jobs..more and more we deploy with the Army to execute convoy operations.
