Pros

The people in the Air Force are incredible. They are laid-back, focused, hard-working, but balanced, a rare combination in industry.

Cons

Their version of "engineering" is very different from that of industry. Governmental "engineering" is much closer to program management, as the focus is on managing engineering contractors and their progress, rather than being the one to create designs yourself.
