Pros
Money is good. You have a pension at retirement, which private sector doesn't offer. If you don't mind going to smaller cities there are many places you can go, such as Kirkland AFB, NM where you make good money comparing against locals. Air Force also provide many opportunity for training and advancement for mobile individuals. Benefit is good and stress level is low; supervisors are usually very flexible and understanding.
Cons
To move up the ladder you have little choice but go to Washington DC; where you will be stuck in traffic and forced to endure the high cost of living. Jobs in the AF....aren't challenging enough and it gets old really fast.
