Pros

Health care benefits, Dental and eye care, Good job security and decent salary. Add in free gym access, non-taxable housing and subsistence benefits and you have a good package. Access to the Commissary and Exchange make shopping less expensive in many places than on the open economy. Promotions require work, but until Senior ranks are based on your will to study and test decently on Air Force and Career-field specific information.

Cons

Deployments take you away from your family, work tempo can require long work hours, and senior leadership can be out of touch with the issues affecting those who work for them sometimes. You have to give up some freedoms and make yourself subject to additional layers of governing policies and requirements.

Pros

Teaches you a trade while paying you. Social appreciation. Purpose. If you have no idea what you want to do with your life especially as far as a career goes, run to a recruiter. Regardless of whereever you come from a military career is your stepping stone into middle class and up living and career opportunity.

Cons

Every extra dollar you attempt to make beyond your rank will require more work than you will be paid to do. The real payoff monetarily you get from competing in the military will come in to play during your post life. Confidence, courage, accountability, etc are not standard attributes in people at all.
